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

[mercury14]

Steam that requires a complete reversal. The 400,000 plus jobs lost last week needs to 350,000 new private sector jobs created every month for 3 and a half solid years just to get us back to where we started. Yeah, big recovery.

Yeah it's almost like we just experienced the biggest economic disaster since the early part of the 20th century. Apparently it takes more than a few months to recover from that. Who knew?

Do yourself a favor though and skim back through this thread. You'll see righties, yourself included bitching about smaller and smaller things with each post. And no matter what, you COMPLETELY ignore positive economic news both large and small.

It's because you want to tell a narrative of doom and gloom and not the truth. You exist in morbid fear that Americans are going to feel better about the economy and approve of Obama and the Dems. So no matter what, you pick out the negative aspects (which are real, sure) among the overwhelmingly positive trend and call the whole trend negative.

Your shit on this thread makes no sense and it never has.

The OP is simply making things up. I have not read this entire thread but, I see he wrote that "existing home sales are up" they were down 13% in April. New home sales, which he also says were up, were, in fact, up from march (always are in April) but, down 23% from April of last year.

9% unemployment. Food prices up 15% year over year. Yea, sure signs of a great economy!

Yeah right? Last week I had to let my three Mexican maids go. Even though I was paying them cash under the table by the month, having to pay for their lunches AND dinners hit me seriously. I'm living in the Hamptons and you just don't know how bad the recession has slammed us entitled rich motherfuckers. I mean, shit. Even my fucking princess of a wife has stopped giving me blowjobs because she has to do her own laundry now! Some fuckin' great economy this is!

*sips flute of champagne*

oy gevault, I wish it was 2003 again! Everything was so gravy back then, I tell ya!

 

[busybody..]

Obama, BIG DUMMY!

Doesnt he know

they dont allow BLACKS on WHITE ICE?

 

[Beco]

Tell me something positive about the unemployment numbers.

they are positively horrendous!

 

[mercury14]

Tell me something positive about the unemployment numbers.

They've improved tremendously compared to where we were in '09 and '10. We're seeing news like "244,000 new payroll jobs added in April while the unemployment rate held steady at 9%" because more people are seeking jobs now and the labor force is growing again. A couple years ago the news was "US economy sheds 600,000 jobs this month".

How is that not a positive change to you?

[mercury14]

Yes, we could be totally dead.

Yes the only thing worse than putting on tens or hundreds of thousands of jobs per month is that every American could be dead. Do you see why you guys sound like morons? Or... do these comments actually sound alright to you?


Because to people who use... thinking, it sounds like paranoid, desperate absurdity. I mean, really desperate... MUST... NOT... HAVE... AN ECONOMIC RECOVERY... WHILE DEMOCRATS ARE IN POWER...

Nice edit. I was talking about a dead economy, dummy.

Hey I responded to your oh-so-difficult challenge to show you something positive about employment numbers with this:

Was it that really that easy to silence you?

 

[JenAltArmy]

Its been 24 months+

funny how Merk, and UD are so stupid

 

[JenAltArmy]

hey dipshit, here is the problem with you dumbass obama supporters. you don't have access to other people's money to pay for it!

wake up or go to China and get some more money

wake up, till obama gets "free" money, we must 86 the pension system for government workers and terminate 1/3 of non military government workers. also several government depts/enterprises must be shut down.

its just that simple

Nice edit Ud, I mean merc. Why did you take out the link.

Plus both edit their posts a lot.

when will UD or is that e.d.? and Mark be happy? when 80% of american's are on welfare or working for the government? could the US economy support that?

It's magic money...it comes from the Obama tree and no one has to work for it. As far as liberals know, it's an endless mountain of money and they can take whatever they want without consequences. Budgets and circumspection are so passe'.

Nice edit Ud, I mean merc. Why did you take out the link.

The link was broken. It was a Bureau of Labor Statistics bar graph showing the decreasing unemployment figures since '09. Even without it I still easily silenced the fake right wing argument that employment numbers aren't improving substantially.

If Republicans were in power right now it would be real money.

It's just that simple if you're as ignorant about economics and the function of government as you are, yes.
