The economy and the stock market are sinking fast, and the government doesn't appear to be able to do anything to correct the situation. In fact the Obama Administration appears to be more concerned about their socialist agenda than the economy. It may be that they think the economy and the market will self-correct by the next election in 2010, and the election is all they really care about. Or, it may be that they think that they now have a permanent majority since they are significantly increasing the number of people dependent on the government, assuming they can get amnesty for 20 million illegal aliens. (In other words, the looters and the moochers are now a solid majority.) Jennifer Rubin comments that some of Obama's center-left supporters are beginning to have doubts about his far left agenda.
