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

[phrodeau]

No matter what the "number" is, the trends are still the same. Be it Dow, Nasdaq, S&P, mutual funds, company confidence, company profit, fuck...even unemployment...EVERYTHING is heading in the right direction. Amazing.

The big worry now is deliberate sabotage by the right.

The big worry always is deliberate sabotage by the right.

FYP...

These gains have been already made with the GOP's deliberate attempts to create failure.

Yamamoto talked about his fear of awakening the "sleeping giant" of the US (well not really but that is what the movies has wrote). It is the same here, even with the insanity and stupidity of our Govt, our economy adapts and keeps growing. The GOP thinks they are more powerful than they really are. No difference for the right-wingers here...they think they are smarter than they are.

There is NO growth among small business, employers are not re-stocking the shelves. Trust me, I know. Companies are NOT growing, theyr'e hanging on, trying to survive until it "gets better". Ok, this year is not a normal year due to the election, but the CEO's I speak with all say the same things... Combine this stuff with higher taxes, higher gas prices, its just gets worse.

Think of how different things might've been in the past 3 years if you and the Republicans had put the needs of their country above the needs of their party!

Lets not forget, Democraps were in charge for two years....and its not MY party, I'm pretty far from Right.

two more posts not addressing the fact that the Dow closed Friday at a 4 year high and the Nasdaq closed at an 11 year high.

What do markets predict? Our naysayers will say nothing. So then, why do they exist? Vette believes it is all about cutting (and pasting) and no regulations. We see where no regulations got us didn't we? But it can't fail again and again, can it? So if this (cutting and no regulations) is the only way out...and we haven't done it...why are the markets responding the way they are? Interesting that Vette's article says that one of the best ways to stimulate economic growth is tax cuts. Why then are only the tax cuts to the rich the ones that matter? Why not the tax cuts to the poor? Which bracket has more potential to impact the immediate economy (which group spends their money because they have to?)

Economic growth...up to 2.8% in the last quarter. Is this up from a year ago? Two years ago? In other words...this is improving too? How can that be?

Housing. I am assuming we are talking housing starts because housing prices have stabilized and are increasing once again (funny thing about housing...it is so much more regional than other factors). Why would I buy new when I can buy foreclosed? Which President was it that signed the regulations allowing people that should never have had an opportunity to own a home they couldn't pay for again?

You remind me of Kaa in the Jungle Book...Trust in me.....Trust in me...

The companies I work with all have had record years. Maybe that's because we sat down 2 years ago and made the changes necessary to achieve this? Everyone of them have more employees today than 2 years ago. Everyone of them sold more than two years ago. Everyone of them made more than two years ago. I can't help it you are dealing with CEO's stuck in worrying about how to pad their pockets instead of how to grow in today's economy. None of these companies paid more in taxes this year...I can't speak for those that you "work with". I will give you credit, gas prices are higher (but so are their profits).

Then why use the word "Democraps"?

I think, or rather hope they debate Obama's record. Im starting to wonder if Romney is that smart....fact is, NOBODY is wishing for bad news to continue, thats Democrat propaganda while painting ALL Republicans as wealthy and catering to the rich....which is insane.

Because it fits....

Dem-o-Gags fits too.

What people may not realize is, the longer this goes on, the more taxes we pay...gas tax, re tax, etc. The cost of living is rising pretty fast. Your State not balancing its budgets? Guess where the difference comes from....and this is just the beginning. In my State they're worred about Transgenders using the ladies room, giving free tuition to illegal immigrants.....good stuff

Then maybe the GOP is "your party" and your stance is pretty far right? I say this because I deal with several republicans in my business. None of them refer to the opposite party as Democraps. Maybe that is why they, and I, are doing so well working together?

In my business I work with Righties.....some I agree with, some I don't,

Also, I'm glad you like your job............

I too hope they debate on the "record". Four years ago, the right was saying Obama would be "weak" against terrorists. What does the record say? The right said the auto bail out would be a failure. What does the record say? The right said the financial bailout would fail and the record says we made a profit. He said he would reform health care (you may not like it) but the record says he did. Out of Iraq when we were asked to get out by the Iraqi Govt. Seriously...let's debate the "record"

I'm sorry you don't appear to like your job. I am sure that is Obama's fault.
