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

[Ulaven_Demorte]

if you like 1% growth, sure......

2012
Q1 GDP was +2%
Q2 GDP was +1.3%
Q3 GDP was +2.7%

To get to the <1% you're looking for you have to go back to Q1 2011.

I see the good jobs numbers tossed the RWCJ crowd into full alert mode. A seven on the Dizzybooby scale.

Government employees, producing nothing for sale, are in fact drawing benefits not really covered by their labor, some are necessary, some aren't, but none produce wealth. They consume it.

And then they take their government paychecks and walk into Target and put it all into the private sector. Alternately they have no job and stuff stays on Target's shelf. See how that works?

Wealth is not "consumed" when it's taken from the private sector in taxes and then given right back to the private sector. What part of this are you unable to grasp?

More productive economic activity would have occurred had they left it in the private sector to start with, ya big dummy.

Someone's gotta operate the machinery that sends you your government check each month, my bootstrappy friend.

The drop in the jobless rate, from 7.9 percent in October, wasn’t great news because of why it happened: More people dropped out of the labor force so they weren’t counted among the unemployed. The labor-force participation rate remains depressed more than three years after the end of the 2007-09 recession. If it were at normal levels, the unemployment rate would be substantially higher.

A number of people dropped out of the labor force: about the same number that entered it in October. Except in October when half a million workers entered it, conservatives refused to consider it a positive factor. Not one of you said it was a good thing. All you talked about was the rate of unemployment ticking up .1%.

Your argument is dishonest and gamey. Would you agree?

And that halved your "expected growth" projections how exactly?

It depends on what aspect of the private sector the tax revenue is coming from.

Small businesses continue to fall short of their billing as the nation’s most prolific job creators, and the latest reports provide no reason to expect hiring to pick up anytime soon.

In the month since the general election, which many economists had hoped would alleviate some of the uncertainty they believed was restraining job growth, small employers have instead pulled back further on their already bleak hiring plans. In fact, a new Gallup poll shows that small business owners expect to add fewer new jobs in the coming year than they have at any point since the depths of the recession in late 2008.

I hope that wasn't your attempt to answer my question...

Nonsense sentence.

Using your own logic, this country would be better off - Target and Walmart included - if everyone worked for the government. You know, full employment. But you ignore the wealth creation aspect in favour of mere wealth re-distribution.

That's called 'stagnation'.

Obligatory .
