Okay! &#8216;Signs of hiring way out there on the horizon\u2019 equals the economy &#8216;revving back to life,\u2019 &#8216;the housing market\u2019s being left behind like Macaulay Culkin in Home Alone,\u2019 they say. So we\u2019ve got this great recovery going on but we\u2019ve got no jobs being created and we\u2019ve got a plummeting housing market, but the economy &#8216;is revving back to life.\u2019 <\/p>\n<p>&#8216;In the past few years, we\u2019ve all been careful to choose our words carefully&#8230;\u2019 Cindy Perman here writing this story: &#8216;In the past few years, we\u2019ve all been careful to choose our words carefully, not calling it a recession until it fit the technical definition and avoiding any inappropriate use of the &#8216;D\u2019 word &#8212; Depression.\u2019 Really? They\u2019ve been that careful about it? I thought they were talking about recession while Bush was still in office. They are talking about &#8216;the coming recession.\u2019 They were talking about, &#8216;Oh, it\u2019s coming!\u2019 They tried to convince people we were in a recession the last two years of the Bush administration. &#8216;Things were bad,\u2019 Cindy Perman says, &#8216;but the broader economy never reached Depression territory. The housing market, on the other hand, just crossed that threshold. <\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Home values have fallen 26 percent since their peak in June 2006, worse than the 25.9-percent decline seen during the Depression years between 1928 and 1933, Zillow reported. November marked the 53rd consecutive month (4 &amp;frac12; years) that home values have fallen.\u2019 That\u2019s most people\u2019s number one asset. &#8216;What\u2019s worse, it\u2019s not over yet: Home values are expected to continue to slide as inventories pile up, and likely won\u2019t recover until the job market improves,\u2019 a small matter. A small matter, the housing market, here while the libs advance their &#8216;blood libel.\u2019 It\u2019s nothing really, folks. The left is not concerned here about the housing market. <\/p>\n<p>No, they need to fund-raise, smear, distract, whatever they can so that they can put the news of their economic policies on the back burner. They have to make sure that they do everything they can to keep the devastating reality of their policies off the front page, and so willing accomplices like the sheriff come along and the media come along to accuse Sarah Palin and me and Levin and everybody. Hannity. Now, this news &#8212; the housing market slipping into depression territory &#8212; probably will not get the Democrats\u2019 attention because their politicizing the mortgage market and failed stimulus bill caused and advanced the problem. So, instead, we\u2019re gonna get character assassination and hearty congratulations for an incompetent, partisan sheriff. <\/p>\n<p>Anything we can do to keep the truth of Democrat policies off the front pages.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Here is CNBC.com: &#8216;As the economy revs back to life&#8230;\u2019 (laughing) Why is it revving back to life?
