consumer confidence surges

[Rat in the Hat]

the right really doesnt want good economic news and will do anything to refute it

The right would really like good economic news, and not just holiday blips.

The right (and the left) would also like you to use capital letters, periods, and apostrophes too.

the left really doesn't want actual, in-depth economic news and will do anything to look the other way.

tell us all how increasing consumer confidence is a bad sign again?

 

[kwc57]

what makes you people think you will recruit voters by wishing this country back into an economic mess?

What makes you people think that wishing it so or proclaiming it so gets us out of the economic wish?

70 percent of the economy is consumer driven

Sure we do, we just understand that the reality of the matter is Obama's foolish and failed policies won't accomplish that, hence it won't get better until he vacates the Presidency on January 2013.

tell us the answers to my numerous questions I have asked.
And while you are at it...tell us the consumer confidence level in 2007...(hint..almost twice as good as it is today)

tell us all how increasing consumer confidence is a bad sign again?

Tell us all how Christmas holiday spending is a sign of increased confidence again.

And while you're at it, tell us all how a record $217 billion dollars in returned gifts shows increased confidence.

You didn't read my link, or the quotes, did you?

Oh, by the way, Christmas is always capitalized.

Economy Shrinks With Consumers Leading the Way - NYTimes.com


Whoever captures the White House seems certain to inherit a starkly challenging economic picture. The economy began slipping in the last three months of 2007, dipping at a 0.2 percent annual rate. Then it grew modestly for six months, aided by tax rebate checks, but has since succumbed anew to slowdown.

Consumer spending — which makes up more than 70 percent of American economic activity — dipped at a 3.1 percent annual rate between July and September, after growing at a 1.2 percent annual rate in the previous three months.

Haha!!
See??
This is what she does. She googles something or another...scans an article that seems to make a point she agrees with...and links it.

If I had the time - it would be hilarious to make a thread showing all of the links she has posted that actually showed the opposite of what she thought, years old articles etc. etc.

Consumer confidence in December surges 10 points to 64.5 as shoppers feel better about economy - The Washington Post

WOW, I suggest you get this article to Sears and Kmart. They just announced that consumer spending was so great they were going to close 110 stores..............

The deal is TDM is a believer that the messiah will be re elected. In order for that to happen, folks need to believe that he is doing a good job.

Consumer confidence increasing increases the chance that the average voter will line up for their cool aid next november. Low consumer confidence means they might be desperate enough to choose anything else.

So when consumer confidence goes from horrible to very bad, she rejoices. This means things are getting better. Obama can sell his Kool Aid.


I rejoice as well. I need an improved economy. I am fond of eating.

TDM rightly fears that if the economy is too pathetic, there will be no customers for the Obama flavor of Kool aid. I feel that it will be a hard sell for the One no matter what happens to the economy. The people are getting tired of him and his perpetual cry of "its not my fault., but it is my glory."

I have very high hopes that whatever happens over the next 10 months, next year the Economy will be someone else's problem, not Obama's.

What's amusing to me, TM is that people like you think an anemic recovery four YEARS after the recession began is something to crow about. The economy should have rebounded long ago but the policies of this Administration have dampened that recovery to what we have now. The public is feeling better about the economy? I really don't know why. Could it be that the economy has been SO bad for SO long that even the smallest good news makes people's hope's rise?

Are you saying that the consumer is doing this to make obama look bad? Are you also saying that no obama supporter is a consumer?
