Great little essay by Dennis Prager recently: Why the Left Doesn't Care about Bad Economic News:
They don't care because the left is not interested in prosperity; the left is interested in inequality and in the environment. Furthermore, the worse the economic situation, the more voters are likely to vote Democrat. The worse the economic situation, the greater the number of people receiving government assistance; the greater the number of people receiving government assistance, the greater the number of people who will vote Democrat.
The Left's strategy actually has a name: Cloward-Piven. The cure for liberalism's failures is always more liberalism! More government!
Therefore, the task is to manufacture more of those failures that only Progressivism can cure!
Indeed, it's likely that Obama's current "immigration crisis" is an example of applied Cloward-Piven. Congress wouldn't act, so the Pied Piper of Chicago and Washington summoned the lemmings across the Rio Grande! Voila! A crisis for government to solve!
Some thoughts. Good luck on the course!
Thank you for the latest from Prager. will have to read further in a.m.

I caught the headline today about a judge not allowing Redskin to be used. Our country is on the brink of explosion, and this is what concerns these people!?
