"Now this downturn is different and worse, but at its center is americans loss of confidence." then why is your hero Ophoney always scaring people and making them lose confidence? Seems like ophoney is trying to destroy this country, why ? to force socialism down our throats? Even Bill Clinton told him to straighten up.
