Reply #29: It's improving, but the fundamentals that are destroying things long term remain in place [View All]

That is my primary complaint. Spinning up an psychologically based "surge" (which is what we are mostly doing at the moment, which does have it's place) is not sustainable policy. This is what we have done each time we hit problems, yet the economic underpinning in our country continues to deteriorate.

Sometimes this place feels a bit like a Democratic "fox news, where it is more important to prop up an ideology than it is to get at the truth.

What I don't understand is this, why DU? The people that the spinners are fighting are much more well read and this kind of thing really won't work with them? Why not spend that energy where it can actually make a difference? If you are a Christian, go hit crosswalk.com. If you are not there are 100 other sites with low information voters. I know this is a more "hip" place to hang, but all folks do here with spin is devolve the forums.
