Symptoms of an economic depression
-Los Angeles Times
No one wants to utter the word "depression." But the truth of the matter is that the American economy may be entering a state of free fall. Every day brings more bad news about the sub-prime mortgage debacle, about home foreclosures, construction industry slowdowns, a credit drought for consumers and businesses, oil price shocks and the open-ended devaluation of the dollar. Where is it all leading?
Together with the debacle in Iraq and the political implosion of the Republican Party, this economic collapse could make the presidential election of 2008 a turning point in American political history. Conservatism first triumphed over New Deal liberalism thanks in part to the same deadly combination in the late 1970s: a lost war and an economic crisis. The Vietnam War plus stagflation and deindustrialization gave us Ronald Reagan. Now history is returning the favor, as the free-market conservative political order of the last generation faces a systemic crisis from which there is no easy escape.
War on Spending and saving the economy are #1 campaign themes
The economy and spending are the true main campaign themes. Listen to Paul on the war, on healthcare, on immigration, on taxes, on almost anything and the underlying theme is economics.
The other candidates cannot touch him on this.
People relate when it hits their wallets
His voting record is immaculate
MSM is already talking about this - look at the beck utube video. Dobbs...
The grassroots need to do the same and align behind this message.

the key for what they say
is the "deindustialization" of America. Something like over 60% of our manufacturing jobs have left the country since George II assumed power. The lifeblood of any economy is its productive capability. Our economy cannot maintain itself in the absence of this productive capability. Notice all the increase in jobs in the jobs reports from the BLS shows a steady decline in manufacturing jobs. This entire financial ponzi scheme is coming unwound.
