In case you needed another reason to vote Republican tomorrow – Ed Morrisey notes:
Americans slowed their spending in September to the weakest pace in three months and their incomes fell for the first time in 14 months.
Personal spending rose at an annual rate of 0.2 percent in September, the Commerce Department said Monday. That’s below the 0.5 percent gains recorded in July and August.
Incomes fell 0.1 percent in September, following a 0.4 percent rise in August that had been pushed higher by the return of extended unemployment benefits.
It must be kept in mind that we are rapidly sliding back in to recession – though, of course, a real case can be made that we never left it. While we are all on a high pending our victory tomorrow, the reality we face is rather grim.
We’ve got a President who hasn’t a clue of what to do, a Congress which may end up split between Republicans in the House and Democrats in the Senate and an economy about to take a dive. This is a recipe for disaster and it will take all our efforts – and all our prayers – to both keep things on an even keel, as well as set the stage for the completion of the political revolution in 2012.
We’ve really got our work cut out for us – enjoy tomorrow, but get ready to roll up the sleeves on November 3rd.
