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

Nothing new here... just more wingnuts too cowardly to answer simple questions.

I answered your question lil pussy chihuahua.

Only someone as stupid as you are could imagine that they actually answered my question.

When the benighted don't like your answer, they pretend you didn't give them one.

He's just sad, he didn't realize burrito sales dropped so much during Thanksgiving.

Still too cowardly to give a real answer huh?

How many buildings do you own other than your place of residence?

None, I am a silent partner in two businesses that occupy office space, some undeveloped real estate, and a 50% interest in two mining claims. I sold a second home a few years ago. That's all you get.

you're hilarious cornholio.

How much did your undeveloped real estate take a hit for?

Stocks must be up. Koala is far too quiet. It would be different if he wasn't pond scum.

That's an unusual phrasing.

He's making it up as he goes along... cut him some slack.

Have any of the wingnuts on here announced that the recession has officially ended?

perhaps these wingnuts are still losing money? Is that why they're upset?

if so, by their own judging methods, it's their own personal fault, and they should just work harder instead of blaming others for their misfortune.

"We own the economy. We own the beginning of the turnaround and we want to make sure that we continue that pace of recovery, not go back to the policies of the past under the Bush administration that put us in the ditch in the first place."
Debbie Wasserman Schultz

If you ask me, I think what we're experiencing isn't in fact closer to a "growthless" recovery than to a jobless one. Because GDP started to grow more than a year and a half ago, but with the exception of just a couple of quarters, growth has not been noticeably above its trend rate of about 2-1/2 percent a year. I don't rejoice at the news that we added 216,000 jobs in March. About a hundred thousand of that 216,000 is needed every month just to keep up with the growth in the labor force. At this rate of job growth, it would take most of the decade to replace the eight 8-1/2 million jobs that were lost in the recession.
Christina Romer
Chairwoman of Obama's White House Council of Economic Advisors

Are YOU doing better for yourself financially than in 2008?

Are you doing better or worse financially than in 2008?

Not a single wingnut is man enough to answer my question.

I guess that either means that they're doing worse, and don't want to admit it (because they're losers who deserve to die in the street), or they're doing better and they don't want to admit that the economy must be picking up.

I am doing better, but that is not due to the economy as much as it is frugality, that is, doing with a lot less, spending a lot less, staying home more, taking fewer trips and having had the foresight to get my money to safer haven before Obama happened.

But I am not the average American enraged to the point of joining in either with the radical Tea Party or OWS because I was already doing quite well before Obama happened because the Bush years were very, very good to us.

The people who are hurting were the true believers that voted FOR Obama and his programs. A lot of them are now out of work.

You are trying to engage in a false correlation, if you are doing better, it cannot be of your own effort and life's work, it had to be Obama.

Yeah, everything is just hunky-dory, we've turned the corner, we're awash in a new, transformative prosperity now that Government has decided to become the partner of business, no more invisible hand for us, we're going to rely on the likes of Frank, Dodd, MAXINE WATERS...,

“And guess what this liberal will be all about? This liberal will be all about socializing, uh, uh… would be about basically about taking over the government running all of your companies.”

As ever, evidence would be useful here. Your USA bureaucratic establishment, rightly in my view, decided to rescue your banking system which had gone derangedly out of control. This would have happened under Reagan, Obama, Clinton or Bush wouldn't it?

Why then does Obama get blamed for the consequent increase in national debt? I just don't follow. Much of the cost of that will be recovered.

USA politics seems to have become oddly parttisan in a way that a Brit doesn't understand. Why does a centrist like Obama and a centre-right person like you have such a vitriolic argument? Why is that a good thing?

So you're claiming that the only people doing worse are people who voted and believed for Obama?

Then I guess you have no problem with his receiving a 2nd term, since the only people effected by it will be his "believers".

Meaning they occupy real estate that I do not wholly own myself.

How much money are you currently making from it? Good return on investment?

I told you, that's all you get. The rest is none of your business.

Yeah, it would be hard to make up the rest.
Wait for it...
