why does mccain say the economy is "stable" when gas and food prices are at record highs?

how the heck would a couple worth $100,000,000 and with a $5,000,000 annual income be expected to have any clue?

I assume that if someone was in a coma for 3 weeks McCain would regard their condition as stable because it hadn't changed in a while.

I don't think it's stable because in Hawaii, milk alone cost $9 alone and eggs cost at least $6. I still think McCain will mess up everything like Bush do. The only thing good that comes out of McCain is stealing and lying.

Because he is very out of touch with reality. I would like to see him survive on my income for a year. He is trying to sugar coat what has been shove down our throats for the last 8 years. Maybe his economy is stable, but how many of us are filthy rich and own 8 homes?

When you are a multi-millionaire and can't even keep up with the amount of real estate you own, the economy is VERY stable!!!

Because they are staying consistently high despite the drop in oil prices.

edit: Zarbon...the reason that your double cheeseburger is the same price is that it was paid for three years ago. He is talking about REAL food. hee, hee, hee.

It ia stable. There's a recession and it's likely to stay that way.

Because McCain is a liar.

food is high?

a Double cheeseburger only cost's 1 dollar at mcdonalds thats high to you>?

because the economy hasn't stopped growing,3.1% this quarter.

Stable doesn't mean good. It means not likely to change.

He is saying that if he is elected, it will remain crappy (as it is at present) for the foreseeable future.
