Where Was This Before Nov 4th

"How is Central Wisconsin faring economically?
Central Wisconsin shares nation's worries, but things here relatively good

By all accounts, concerns about the economy weighed heavily on the minds of voters as Barack Obama surged to victory in Tuesday's presidential election.

Central Wisconsin seemed to share those concerns, with 54 percent of Marathon County's voters backing Obama. Workers here are worried about whether they will have jobs tomorrow. Families wonder how they will save for their children's education as they limit their spending in light of higher food and energy costs. And investors are holding their breath.

Yet central Wisconsin seems to have some things going for it. Our inflation rate remains low. The housing market hasn't taken the same hit as in most places. Gasoline prices are down.


The sea has risen, the stars shine brightly on the earth, everything is good, The economy is pretty good! We have been saved.

Where was this before the election. This is the second time this weekend that all of a sudden I hear everything is good! Wow!
