A Top 10 List "Progressives" Will Hate Dear Sovereign Investor, I love arguing with so-called "Progressives," although there isn't anything progressive about a political ideology that desperately fights any proposed changes to the failed and soon-bankrupt social and economic programs from the 1930s. What really sends them into a tizzy are facts, particularly the sort that they are never exposed to by the legacy media or in the indoctrination chambers that are our college campuses. It's like watching a bewildered baby after being corrected by his mother for the first time. Poor little things. Courtesy of The Economic Collapse blog, here's a list that's bound to make Progressives come unglued. For your reading pleasure, here are 10 incontrovertible facts about the Obama economy, none of which can be blamed on the Bush Administration.
