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

As was proven with FDR, history will show that he prolonged the calamity.

Who caused it?

Gross domestic product expanded at a 1.9 percent annual rate in the first quarter, less than the 2.2 percent the government had estimated last month. That compares to the 3.0 percent rate set in the fourth quarter of last year.

"The GDP number isn't a surprise, but anytime you dip under two percent we always head into recession,” said Todd Schoenberger, an investment adviser at The Blackbay Group. “The final read will be much more important. It doesn't look good for the economy right now."

Mostly Democrat spending priorities, underwritten and supported by a liberal Republican.

Prove it.

I could understand arguing that the economy isn't improving as fast as youd like, or debating specific policies you feel are detrimental. However anyone who says the economy is no better now, than it was 4 years ago is either willfully ignorant or simply lying to suit their agenda.

You need better analytical skills dear. I will leave you with this to play with. There is no greater economic fear for the future than money flowing into 10 year treasuries that pay less than the rate of inflation. Do you understand what that might mean?

People like the Vettebirther, who accept as fact that federal income taxes can never be raised, are led to believe by fringe-right blogs and hate radio that there is some sort of "bubble" in medium-term Treasury bonds right now.

Rush and the gang have promoted this alarmist scenario at least twice in the past three years, most recently in March of 2012.

This "bubble", of course, spell DOOM and GLOOM for American and can only be resolved by voting for a white President in November.

DERP!

I don't think you do understand my dear.

And while they blow hot air about Treasuries, I took a slightly different tack. I bought lots of them and have a tidy profit to show. Who's smarter here?

 

[TexasWife25]

What do you think the point of that post I made on treasuries was?

Where are you getting the rate of inflation? Yes yields are at a record low, with the euro in doubt and worry over the US economy, of course investors are going to flock to 10 year treasuries.

its a loss leader, adding more government workers. we need to downsize government by 47% and take back the pension system. then, put that money into the economy, then we will see growth.

obama plan isn't working yet we are adding lots of debt!

No, do your own research.

I'm not the one who made the statement, you are.... let me get this straight, you want ME to prove YOUR point for you?

That's some lazy shit, even for you.

 

[TexasWife25]

Do you think their flocking to 10 year treasuries that pay less than the inflation rate because they think the economy is turning around?

Strangely enough not everything revolves around the US economy Yes, they are being motivated by fear, fear of a slowing down of private sector jobs as well as the euro, Greece and Spain. You're basing your belief that things are no better today then they were 4 years ago, on 10 year treasury yields?

Hush you fat lazy fuck
When you learn what type of government u.s.a has then you can talk economics.

Yes the ten year treasury yields says a lot about how investors see the economy.
Why should they make a ten year investment when it's the same a three.

Do you understand that price and yield move in opposite directions. If you are losing money in bonds, you are one stupid fucker. Whose bonds are you talking about, Slovenia?
