Problem for you is that real estate is still in the gutter. 2011 was a record all time low for new home sales. Sales in general are still pathetic.
The only reason parts of our economy are inching in "growth" is that Republicans have deadlocked what used to be an all Dem congress. Preventing them from continuing to implement policies aimed at destroying our economy, has at least stopped the downward spiral. We're not going to have real growth of any significance until the Dems are thrown out of office, either Congress or the White House or both.
Home sales hit 11-month high | Reuters
WASHINGTON | Fri Jan 20, 2012 4:52pm EST
(Reuters) - Home sales hit an 11-month high in December and the number of properties on the market was the fewest in nearly seven years, pointing to a nascent recovery in the housing sector.

Sales of both multifamily and single-family homes rose.
Economy improving, leading indicators say - Economic Report - MarketWatch
The U.S. economy is expected to improve early this year, though global conditions present a risk, the Conference Board said Thursday as it reported a gain in its index of leading economic indicators.
The private research groups leading economic index rose 0.4% in December, led by the interest-rate spread. In November, the index rose 0.2%. The LEIs a weighted gauge of 10 indicators that are designed to signal business cycle peaks and troughs.
I sure hope it takes off....all the indicators show that this could be a good summer for the american economy and job market.....PLEASE LET IT HAPPEN
Now that the stimulus is done and the govt has no more money to tinker with the economic balance I think it be a good summer.
Economists agree: Stimulus created nearly 3 million jobs - USATODAY.com
Eighteen months later, the consensus among economists is that the stimulus worked in staving off a rerun of the 1930s. But the spending's impact was dwarfed by other crisis-fighting tools deployed by the Bush and Obama administrations, including costly efforts to stabilize crippled banks and the Fed's unconventional monetary policy.
Economist say it worked.
ONLY partisan hacks claim it did not
One more time, are there more or less jobs, overall, today then there were when obama took over?
The facts say there are less jobs today.
How about the US population, did it grow or shrink at the same time? It grew
More citizens + fewer total jobs = no success yet
why do you scrape and scamble to find ways to deny the economy is improving?
Now you need to apologise to me for claiming you dont deny good econonic news.

This is news, it is good news for the economy.
You deny it
It's impossible to determine precisely how many jobs or how much growth the stimulus program caused. In a nearly $14 trillion economy, economists can't go employer to employer counting new hires. And there are too many moving parts to confidently link any single factor with individual hiring decisions.
Among the 10 indicators that make up the LEI, seven made positive contributions in December: interest-rate spread, jobless claims, manufacturing hours, stock prices, a new orders index, manufacturers new orders for nondefense capital goods excluding aircraft, and manufacturers new orders for consumer goods and materials.

Yeah Right. that's why Bernake is keeping the interest rates artivically low..
Suppressing interest rates for three more years is telling of the quagmire that we're in. That can happen for only so long in the pressure cooker. We're already seeing higher inflation manifest itself in groceries, clothing, and other commodities.
I wish you guys cared more about this country than your damned party
your not the only one here
