LOL...maybe you should stick to idolizing women with big breasts. The economic thing seems like it's a challenge for you...you don't seem to have any idea what the issues are, or what's going on with them.
Just some friendly advice!
What happened to all of the doom and gloom economic threads?

Pffffft! You can't even spin this one, so you go for the classic passive-aggro belittlement tack. That's a little too third-grade for you, don't you think?
Ah, well. You do as you can when you can't do as you would like. No worries, guy. I know very well already that you don't like losing face.

Oh, come on, evil twin. You are acting like you got no brains at birth.
Passive-aggressive would be remaining silent about your obvious limitations here while ignoring you and undermining you in other ways.
Wheras I was just taping a sign to your back that said "Kick me, I don't know anything about economics!"
That's what brothas do!

Hold up hold up hold up...lemme stop your spinning for a brief second so the focus doesn't get sidetracked.
It's no lie that every mouthbreather on here against Obama & Co. heralds the End Of The World when any number concerning him whatsoever goes downward. You know it's true and that's why you're not pasting your trusty graphs or charts or stats in rebuttal as you usually do when you think you can answer back. You're just spinning around like a top here and that's what you always do when you can't answer back. And I know this pirouette of yours very well. It's the "Watch Me Get The Last Word In" spin that won you the Olympic gold at Salt Lake back in '02!
Now that we've gotten the real point here clear, you can go back to spinning.
Ahhhh, that's the stuff...Baryshnikov would've pissed himself in the shining light of your talent!

so it has a 60% success rate? And without the program it would have been a 100% fail rate? 60% isn't great, but it is a hell of alot better than a 100% fail rate. I think the real question is more about sustainability...is it still profitable with a 60% success rate? I wonder what the market would look like today without that 60%? Yet, you feel it wasn't worth it? Please explain how it wasn't worth it to the 60%.

From the AP.. that liberal bastion of News reporting..
Better days here? Economic rebound gains strength
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Shoppers and businesses are feeling better about the recovery.
That was the encouraging message from a trio of economic reports Wednesday - and from Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke, who told lawmakers that the country's modest rebound is sustainable.
Retail spending rose sharply in March. Consumer inflation remained all but invisible. And businesses boosted their stockpiles in anticipation of higher shopper demand.
The improving economy also lifted first-quarter earnings at JPMorgan Chase & Co. That was the latest sign that the biggest banks are gradually putting the financial crisis behind them.
Bernanke spoke on the same day that the Fed reported the recovery is spreading to most parts of the country. Merchants are enjoying better sales and factories are boosting production, but companies are still wary of ramping up hiring, the Fed reported.
Who woulda thunk it.. Jobs are a lagging indicator of a recovering economy..
Doomed! We're all DOOMED!

America's Back!
Posted Apr 14, 2010 10:38am EDT by Peter Gorenstein in Investing, Recession
America is Back!, Newsweek declares this week.
Cover-story author Daniel Gross says the economy is making a strong comeback, defying the odds and surprising the naysayers. "The turnaround we've had since [Lehman Brothers' bankruptcy], while not completely satisfying, has been pretty remarkable," he tells Henry Blodget in the accompanying clip.
A combination of unprecedented government intervention matched by rapid restructuring and increased productivity in the private sector has resulted in an economy stronger than anyone would have imagined just 18 months ago, Gross argues...
Gross points to several factors to back his case:
- The economy is growing. The U.S. economy has gone from shrinking at a 6.4 percent annual rate in the first quarter of 2009 to growing at a rate of 5.9 percent at the end of the year.
- Bull market. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is now hovering around 11,000, having rebounded 70% off the bottom.
- Job creation. The unemployment rate remains stubbornly high; however, 162,000 jobs were created in March. That's a long way from losing 800,000 per month at the height of the panic. Job growth "is going to be slower than many people would like it to be but I think it's going to be faster than many of the professional forecasters are expecting it to be," he says.
- Productivity. From the fourth quarter of 2008 to the fourth quarter of 2009, productivity rose 5.8 percent.

There's going to be a correction, no doubt. But it might not be for a little while still.
After the correction the Dow will once again trend upwards.
You're 100% doom and gloom though, aren't you?

If financial reforms are not enacted, which the GOP is dragging it's feet on (surprise).
An important caveat you neglected to mention.

Keep hoping for the failure of America Cap'n Patriot.
Who's hoping for the failure of America?
We want the failure of Obama to be clear and evident for the election.
It's Obama who hopes and dreams of American failure and the first post-American President where the Science Czar tells us we're crazy you think we'll continue to be #1...
That's why we kow-tow to Hu, Obama's hand-picked new #1.
So, I guess Soros is rooting for the failure of America too?

Everything that's been done to us has been done without the need of Republicans.
They've been excluded from the conversation again, which will soon be followed, again, by the cries of, Republicans have no ideas to offer, and then when the reform IS passed and proves to be unpopular, we will be told that it is based on "Republican Ideas..."
Did you not read Dick Morris about the impending legislation?
Here's a link:
http://forum.literotica.com/showthread.php?t=702621
And, why are the Democrats afraid to do a budget as required by law, preferring to kick it down the road for the next Congress?
Is it because things really are as bad as us wingnuts keep saying when not viewed with a day-to-day desire for an AH-HA! GOTCHA moment?
(Also, it allows them to raise taxes by not addressing the sunsetting of the Bush tax cuts and at the same time claim, "Wasn't me," 'cause they so know we're looking forward, economically, to the good times higher taxes afford us...
Obama can also say, I didn't raise your taxes, it was Republican obstructionism! )

It's clear what your motivations are Cap'n, has been for several years now.
Hoping that the economy crashes "and burns" inflicting misery and devastation on your fellow Americans. All in the name of partisan victory, to hell with the costs.
After all, they're getting exactly what you think they deserve.
You're a despicable excuse for a human being.
Soros issued a warning that financial reforms like those in the works are desperately needed. Regardless, since when did your lot cite him as an authority on anything? Other than stealing elections.

They should be worrying about what a Republican will do with those laws, but as we know, by the tenor and contents of the threads after the election that they think the Republicans have been defeated forever and that we, the people, love the Democrats so much, that we will keep them in power in perpetuity because the lavish us with milk and manna from the teats of the Public Weal..

My motivations are clear. Washington DC has gone insane with power and lust for ever more and is looting us.
Your motivation is also clear: Democrats are our salvation.
They're the "smart" looters with moral authority...
