Newton's Third Law

"For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction."

Call the media driven fear mongering crisis and the world will react....

I disagree Ross; that 8% number is cooked -- it's propaganda.

Those on the far left have been complaining about the gov't manipulating inflation, unemployment and other stats for many years. Now some on the right complain about the same thing.
