CUT MEDICARE! Oh wait, Republicans said we need to expand it.

CUT DEFENSE! Oh wait, Republicans said we need to expand it.

SEQUESTRATION CUTS! Nope that's evil.

CUT HEAD START! AJ's idea. Except it's only $8 billion per year in savings minus the cost-shifting to public schools and Medicaid clinics. So $4 billion.

What else should we look at?

The President should get everything he wants in the budget, taxes, etc. The Republicans lost the referendum on the presidency and it is time to get out of the way.

The country needs to find out if the President's vision is correct and the only way to do that is for the Republican Party to do the right thing. They won't but they should.

Vette pulls an AJ and focuses on a single data point instead of the overall trend. Let me help you get your head screwed on straight.

1) What's the four-week rolling average?

2) What's the year-to-date average?

what are they?

 

[Busybody]

Funniest thing I've read all day.

Funniest thing I've read all day.

The leaders of the Republican Party are nothing if not thick-headed, stubborn dolts.

It's time to find out if President Obama and his top supporters are correct in their view of the economy and the government's scope.


The Republican Party got spanked but responds with "Thank you, Sir, may I have another?" to the American public.

I don't know your posting style, so I'm going to assume that's sarcasm on your part.

He's feverishly looking through the Coyote Acme Catalog as we speak.

Here's the four week rolling average:

But the less-volatile four-week moving average fell 13,750 to 367,750

My source is your own link from post #27012. Another day, another embarrassing incident of Vette not reading his own articles.

"Real final sales--GDP less changes in private inventories--increased a more modest 2.4% in the third quarter."
" Federal government spending, which jumped 9.5% in the third quarter after contracting each of the prior four periods, is unlikely to continue to grow at that pace as Washington prepares for deep spending cuts next year.

In fact those cuts and planned tax hikes, the so-called fiscal cliff, are dragging on the economy, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said at a press conference last week.

"It's already affecting business investment and hiring decisions by creating uncertainty or creating pessimism," he said.

Partially reflecting concerns about the fiscal cliff and the effect of Sandy, which stuck the Northeast in late October, Fed officials expect the economy to grow between 1.7% to 1.8% for all of 2012--well below the third quarter's pace."

As soon as it suits them conservatives openly acknowledge that government spending boosts the economy. Havin' it both ways is their bread and butter.

Hey clown, new taxes that take effect in January represent 3% of GDP. What do you think that growth will look like then?

He just read the headline and thought it looked cute.

Considering that the major one will probably be avoided on 98% of Americans, I think the impact will be there but not tremendous.

Where's Beco to tell us that GDP is growing at 1%?

Stocks tumble after budget fiasco

It's now up to the Senate to take up one of the House bills already sitting on Reid's desk. It's on Reid and the President now, their intransigence is coming home to roost.

That bill has no tax increases and is even further away from the Democrats' position than Plan B. Not to mention it just kicks the can down the road for a year and puts us back in the same spot before we know it.
