The Greatest Story Never Told
July 5, 2008
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In a speech given at Hillsdale College on January 29, 2008, Patrick Toomey said, "There is a debate going on today over whether our economy is in recession. Polls show sagging public confidence. But some perspective is sorely needed. The fact of the matter is that we in the United States, and to a lesser degree the entire world, have just lived through -- and continue to live in -- the greatest period of prosperity in human history. Over the last 25 years, more wealth has been created, more people have been lifted out of poverty, standards of living have been elevated more dramatically, and the quality and length of life have improved, more than ever before in recorded history. Unfortunately, this is the greatest story never told."

What creates sagging public confidence? Is it the result of actual research? Or, does it result from "doom and gloom" media?

Have you ever seen blank spaces in newspapers or newscasts? Is there any chance that what you are reading or hearing has been altered or invented to fill empty space?

There is as much good news as there is bad. Yet, day after day, week after week, we are being hit with reports of rapes, murders, global warming, the sky is falling, the flu is coming, government should fix it, and of course, the end is near.

How can anyone have confidence when they are being fed a never ending diet of doom, gloom, garbage and misleading myths?

What we "the people" suffer from is not a lack of opportunities or a financial recession. It's a lack of honesty and common sense.
