Another Economic Molehill from the MSM

On the same day that Democrats of the Great Sausage Factory announced their feeble energy plan, the Automobile Association of America is forecasting that a record number of travelers will hit the roads this Memorial Day weekend. This would seem to me to indicate that gas prices are hardly a national crisis, but leave it to the MSM to spin it thus. Got that? We're at record numbers, but growth is slowing, so things are really bad. These are the same dodoheads that predicted 1) higher gas prices would curb vacationing and consumer spending last year, and 2) higher home heating oil prices would cool consumer spending this winter and spring. Wrong and wrong.

I can only imagine what they would say if the forecast for travel was growing at recent historical trend..."The Growth in Holiday Travel is On An Unsustainable Path, Say Economists." Yup, sounds about right for the MSM elite, us poor unwashed schmucks are just having too much fun.
