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

[Ulaven_Demorte]

Dear Everyone,

We know the economy is just struggling along and we also know that we're probably going to dip back into recession once Europe crosses the pond, but fortunately, we also know there is an election coming and the stakes are QE3, a tax bill that will save the world and the desperate hope that the next dip can be held off until late November or that

OH MY GOD< LOOK OVER THERE< A SHOOTING < A TERRORIST < AN OLYMPICS <

something can keep the voter from realising that we are pretty much where we were when the policies of the previous administration were the benchmark of disaster. Can you inherit a mess from yourself?

Yeah, 1.5% growth in GDP is "pretty much" where we were when it was -5.3%

Gaining 200K jobs (Jan 2012) is "pretty much" the same as losing 600K+ (December 2008)

Yup, "pretty much" exactly where we were..

U.S. economy slowed, growing at rate of 1.5%
Associated Press 8:46 AM ET
U.S. economy grew at an annual rate of 1.5 percent in the second quarter. The slowdown adds to worries that the economy could be stalling three years after the recession ended.

yes, the economy is simply glowing, isn't it?

Nope, and I never said it was, but it is growing. Which is a hell of a lot better than it was in 2008, not even close to "pretty much" the same place.

STFU, NIGGERUD, you SCHMUCK

obviously 'pretty much' is an unquantifiable term

but i think it still applies, since the economy still sucks, and in many ways is actually suckier than it was in 2008. and while growth is there in tiny doses, confidence very much is not

How do you figure it's "growing?"

Gross domestic product grew at an annual rate of 1.5% between April and June, down from 2.0% in the first quarter and 4.1% late last year.

What a puzzle. How can it be called a growing economy when it actually grew?

the same way a baby cant be called GROWING if he grows an inch a year when all other babies grow 2-3 inches a year

IDIOT!

the same way you cant say your income is growing if it gains 1% when all else is growing 3-4 times as much

IDIOT!

When you post carp like that, don't you become embarrassed when you read it?

This is where Obama really falls short, he becomes arrogant and a pompous ass. Winds of change only brought us more of the same and I think the Obama supporters are too embarrassed to admit that.

Again, I fall back on Clinton, times were hard at times but that guy knew how to pull people together. At least that's what others tell me (right and left)

 

[RobDownSouth]

Yeah, it grew down from 2%, dummy, and 4.1% same time last year.

It's still a net positive growth rate for teh year, you dumb son of a bitch.

Obama Administration On Today’s Dismal GDP Numbers: Hey, At Least We’re Kinda-Sorta Still Growing…




Remind us again, what did you promise after the stimulus bill?


(Politico) — The White House chose to focus on the positive when it comes to GDP estimates released Friday.

The estimates found economic growth slowed to 1.5 percent last quarter – down from 2 percent the previous quarter and 4.1 percent in the fourth quarter of 2011 — but the chairman of President Obama’s Council of Economic Advisers said that at least it’s still growing.

“Today’s report shows that the economy posted its twelfth straight quarter of positive growth,” Alan B. Krueger wrote in a statement. “Over the last three years, the economy has expanded by 6.7 percent overall, and the private components of GDP have grown by 9.9 percent.”

Krueger did say that more needs to be done. “While the economy continues to move in the right direction, additional growth is needed to replace the jobs lost in the deep recession that began at the end of 2007.”

Kid’s Hot Dog Stand Shut Down by City Officials Before It Even Opens

Reason

This summer, 13-year-old Nathan Duszynski wanted to make some money to help out his disabled parents—his mom has epilepsy and his dad has multiple sclerosis. So he decided to open a hot dog stand. He saved $1,200, mostly money made by mowing lawns and shoveling snow. He checked with the city to make sure he didn’t need any licenses or permits, even going to city hall in person with his mom. And then he bought a cart. (Yep, that’s hot dog’s from Nathan’s, for those who are keeping score at home.)

He arrived to set up shop on his first day and 10 minutes later, a zoning official arrived to shut him down. The problem: The cart, which is in the parking lot of a sporting goods store, is on the edge of official downtown commercial district of Holland, Michigan. The city bans food carts in that area in order to minimize competition for the eight tax-paying restaurants a couple of blocks away.

Positive growth is positive growth.

Especially when compared to the negative GDP he was handed on a tarnished platter.
