As usual, the Democrats are doing what they always accuse the Republicans of doing. In this case, it’s fear-mongering. The Democrats have done it for years, of course. This time, President 0bama is taking up the tactic.

In a February 5^th, 2009, Washington Post editorial entitled The Action Americans Need, 0bama makes the following assertion:

[If] nothing is done, this recession might linger for years. Our economy will lose 5 million more jobs. Unemployment will approach double digits. Our nation will sink deeper into a crisis that, at some point, we may not be able to reverse.

Of course, seeing that government intervention in our economic system caused the crisis, it is more likely that this recession will linger for years if something is done. By the government, that is.
