What happened to all of the doom and gloom economic threads?

[Luk]

I wonder if they'll "make up" a whole bunch of new jobs this month again so they can show job growth again.

I see you are too scared to click the links I posted. I know vette and the little furry bear are cowards but I never thought you were.

Oh well.

I read them....didn't really have much bearing as far as I could see.

 

[Luk]

You got it.

Thank you, kind sir.

I read them....didn't really have much bearing as far as I could see.

You might have read them but you obviously didn't comprehend them. They were links from several different sources on several different topics. Vette's bullshit link was an opinion piece. I'll brush you into the pan with the other cowards now. What a shame.

Regarding the "Tax the Rich" idea:

According to Internal Revenue Service data, the entire taxable income of everyone earning over $100,000 in 2008 was about $1.582 trillion. Even if all these Americans—most of whom are far from wealthy—were taxed at 100%, it wouldn't cover Mr. Obama's deficit for this year. - WSJ Today.

Do you or anyone really have any doubt that when the bill for Obama's wild spending comes due, we'll all be paying deeply for it?

Daily Wrap: 4/14/2011
Stocks finished the day mostly lower on Wall Street, in the midst of disappointing data from the job sector.

Initial jobless claims climbed unexpectedly, by 27,000 to a seasonally adjusted 412,000 in the week ended April 9th. Economists had expected a decline in the reading.

Meanwhile, the Labor Department said the producer price index, rose a seasonally adjusted 0.7 percent in the month of March. The core rate, excluding food and energy rose 0.3 percent.

Check this shocker out:

Only 45.4% of Americans had jobs in 2010, the lowest rate since 1983 and down from a peak of 49.3% in 2000. Last year, just 66.8% of men had jobs, the lowest on record.

All part of the recovery, eh UD?

Those are really shocking numbers..

Did they break it down to those that are actually of working age? You know, ALL Americans covers a whole lot of people who are either too young to work or retired.

That probably wouldn't be as shocking huh?

No. There was a time when you didn't understand history. It's okay it's not like anybody in the Tea Party realizes they have somewhere between nothing and only the negative parts in common with the Boston Tea Party. Glad you grew up.



Sucks about the debt ceiling. He was right originally. Sucks he got put in a position where his original stance simply won't work.

He was wrong to extend the Bush Tax cuts and he both knew it and damn near screamed it at the time.

Gas prices are about Ghadaffi, you do know that right?

We're in a fragile but growing economy and we aren't ready to take a solid hit.

*chuckle*

Obama doesn't care about the economy; it's a pain in the ass. He wants to focus on Social Spending.

Yes. We can tell, once again that you don't ever bother to read because you "know..."

It's actually worse than that. The numbers are being massaged so that the frog gets boiled slowly...

 

[Frisco_Slug_Esq]

Coincidence?



Barry begins his reelection campaign by (like the Supreme Court during the SOTU address) by inviting Republicans into an "olive branch" speech and then going berserk on them (while at once pleading, can't we just all get along) and up pop the usual gang full of vigor and vinegar, ready to fight for their right to party...

Agree, we've heard this refrain before haven't we....

You can fool some of the people some of the time but you can't fool all of the people all of the time...

The world socialist elites believe that by linking our economies and draining them of discretionary spending, that they can prevent war.




They truly believe. That's why we are all doing so poorly; it's a coordinated effort.

It's not a conspiracy. Conspiracies are something hidden from you, not something you don't see.

Inflation Actually Near 10% Using Older Measure

"After former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker was appointed in 1979, the consumer price index surged into the double digits, causing the now revered Fed Chief to double the benchmark interest rate in order to break the back of inflation. Using the methodology in place at that time puts the CPI back near those levels.

"Inflation, using the reporting methodologies in place before 1980, hit an annual rate of 9.6 percent in February, according to the Shadow Government Statistics newsletter."

“Near-term circumstances generally have continued to deteriorate,” said John Williams, creator of the site, in a new note out Tuesday. “Though not yet commonly recognized, there is both an intensifying double-dip recession and a rapidly escalating inflation problem. Until such time as financial-market expectations catch up with underlying reality, reporting generally will continue to show higher-than-expected inflation and weaker-than-expected economic results in the month and months ahead.”

“Given ongoing inflation problems with food and the spreading impact of higher oil-related costs in the broad economy, reporting risk is to the upside of consensus expectation,” said Williams, citing a 10 percent jump in gasoline prices in March, in the note.

“While the federal government would have us believe the numbers are rather tame, our own personal gauge leads us to believe inflation is running between 5 percent to 6 percent annually,” wrote Alan Newman in his latest Crosscurrents newsletter that refers to Williams’ statistics. "

Hey Frisky, did you see that new Atlas Shrugged movie yet?

It's only playing in one theater here and word on the street is it sucks massive dongers. But this town isn't really an Ayn Rand kinda place. Even the hipsters aren't going to see it. Wondering if it's hitting better where you are.

Regarding the "Tax the Rich" idea:

I am shocked that obama has not come out with a new tax, you know to punish sucessful American''s as that is anti obama.

government is the solution & more taxes are the only way to fix the economy

Which to be fair is while wrong it's a decent twist from your belief. The economy isn't weak, we aren't a recession. Americans are lazy and need to taught to work for nothing.

not all American's are lazy, and when you talk about welfare not everyone wan't to be on it. but those who enjoy welfare are lazy

I don't know how strong the economy is, tourism is up this season. this week has been slow, but next weekend is slammed. how long will it last? what about the major holidays? what about the fall?

there are jobs out there, but they are hard to find. one has to have a strong and rather large network.

and government is never the answer. government is the cancer of the economy

No. Your logic is that all or at least most americans are lazy. Otherwise you can't stick this idea that cutting welfare would get Americans back to work. That only works if you think the jobs are there now and people aren't doing them because they are lazy. So your opinion is that there was no recession Americans just realized that it was better to on welfar than to work.

Government is never the answer? Shut up you stupid cunt. Just shut up. The government is often the answer which is why we have one. The entire point of living in a society is to be socialist. The very first caveman who realized that someone else could watch for sabretoothed tigers while he slept of that he and a friend could take down a mammoth but he couldn't alone was a socialist. After that it's just hammering out details.
