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

[mercury14]

Its amazing how things can be good, and not perfect, isn't it?

edit to add-

I prefer to read articles that aren't quite so partisan, painting the "doom and gloom" or "the recession is over" picture, as neither of those narratives are true, imo.

But if you don't specifically buy the argument that there hasn't been a recovery, the mouth breathers around here immediately tell you that you think the economy is taking off like a rocket. If you don't think like them they'll assign you a position you don't take and then attack it. This phenomena happens in every thread around here, almost entirely perpetrated by right wingers.

wow, don't you hate it when people make presumptions and generalizations? ain't that about a bitch?

 

[NeverEndingMe]

Fuck you, faggot. And you are a faggot.

Not a gay person, nothing wrong with gay, I don't mean it like that.

I mean you are a cowardly, sniveling war mongering piece of shit, ready to send kids to die for your shit head beliefs. You have no brains, no education, I know this from many, many, many conversations with your dumb useless ass over the years.

You are a barking dog with no bite, a liar for a bunch of whores. Too stupid to know you been duped. You probably live on the East Coast, they are all gay for killing there.

wow, you have a lot of issues. how much time have you spent in the system?

that's the whole debate, yeah? whether things are actually "good", "better", or neither.

you look long and hard enough, you'll find evidence of some good things happening in the economy. but there's very much evidence that things are still down overall, and improvement isn't coming fast enough (it's been almost 4 yrs now).

how are things down in texas? i have a good friend in midland, where the economy is pretty much kicking ass no matter if the rest of the country is up or down

A lot of jobs that part of Texas but if you don't like heat, sand storms , raining mud and rattle snakes don't go
it's flat you can stand on a can of tuna be the tallest thing around.

Dear Clown,

the tax hasn't taken effect yet.

So if the markets and jobs remain steady in a few years when the tax shows up will you admit to being wrong or is this a waste of time?

So the day it comes into effect the market will plunge? Is that the prediction you wish to make?

Lol there's nothing steady in the market today and jobs numbers coming tomorrow going to show the biggest decline in two years. With that said why look down the road when it's not looking better then it is now

What the fuck does "mattress lifting" mean?

the day zombies take over the world. point is the market will not cash due to obama care. however, companies will not hire and spend all that cash they have horded due to the piece of shit some call obama

It's just another nail in the coffin. The market is flat lined now. Wait until the jobs numbers come out tomorrow, even the best projection is a fucking disaster for the economy.

The ADP numbers said +176,000 in June. Why are you thinking it's going to be the biggest decline in years?

Vette - you've cited ADP numbers as more reliable than BLS numbers in the past. Do you still stand by that or are you waiting to see what the BLS figure is in order to cherry pick the lowest one?

Here's Fox News reporting that ~100k jobs are expected to be reported. Fox News is also saying in that article that GM and Chrysler likely wouldn't exist without Obama's intervention. Of course this is Fox Business News which is a legitimate source of economic news. That's why the rest of their network pretends it doesn't exist.

If jobs aren't lost it's not a disaster. Period. It might not be what everybody was hoping for but a disaster it's not.

I watch it, Bloomberg, CNBC, everyday. How will Obama spin the 120,000 jobs the defense industry is going to shed the week before the election due to mandatory budget cuts?

By explaining the simple fact that people don't want higher taxes and were bitching about the deficiet. Either shut up and let the man spend or shut up and let the man spend less but for the love of Hecate shut the fuck up.

merc, pull that thick head out of your ass.

the point about GM, was that the company is bloated. costs are out of whack. so thanks to obama, gm and obama fucked over the investor.
