US Sept Consumer Sentiment Stagnates
NEW YORK (Reuters) -
U.S. consumer sentiment stagnated in early September, according to a

market persisted.
The University of Michigan's index of consumer confidence crawled

You know what it is? The republican controlled media tells us we are loaded
with money, we just don't realize it.
They tell us we all have great jobs, when we do not.
They tell us there is no inflation, but the prices in the stores tell a
different story.
They tell us the economy is great, but people are filing bankruptcy and
losing their homes at a record pace.
Ford Motor Co. recently announced cutbacks in production.
Delphi, in Flint Michigan closed down. Other Delphi plants are selling and
acutioning off machinery to China and Mexico.
GM has Chevy Trailblazers stacked on top of Blazers.
The price of milk and cereal for children is continuously growing.
Prices at the pump change a couple times per day.
People who are unemployed are not convinced by news stories that tell them
they do not exist
People who are settling for 7 bucks an hour do not consider themselves
gainfully employed.
People know McDonalds and Burger King are not manufacturing jobs, even if
Bush says they are.
People know they have no insurance and can't afford to buy a policy on
minimum wage.
People know, they just lost their overtime.
Old folks know bush just raped them for 17% of their well below poverty
level income.
People lose their unemployment, and go off the grid, and bush tells them
unemployment decreased. No true, only people collecting unemployments
benefits decreased.
People know when their CEO sells them out.
People know when someone in India got their job.
Whe they tell us bush created jobs, they do not bother to tell us how many
people lost their jobs, so we can't do the math.
People remember the peace and prosperity they enjoyed when the only thing
the media had to cover was a sex scandal. We do not forget, just because the
media tells us to buy the lie and concentrate on the diversions.
They can say all they want, they can tell us we are prospering, they can
tell us we have more buying power, but anyone who is busting their *****, and
raising a family knows that times are lean. The media is a on a campaign
to convince us, not inform us.
