Economy Shrinks…Obama & Pals Blame Republicans​

By: Curt

Another ‘who woulda thunk it’ moment:

The U.S. economy posted a stunning drop of 0.1 percent in the fourth quarter, defying expectations for slow growth and possibly providing incentive for more Federal Reserve stimulus.

The economy shrank from October through December for the first time since the recession ended, hurt by the biggest cut in defense spending in 40 years, fewer exports and sluggish growth in company stockpiles.

Get outta here! You mean with businesses fretting over the unknown cost of ObamaCare, with taxes being raised for almost every American, and government spending continuing to spiral out of control that our economy is contracting?

Shocking!

The economy shrunk due to Hurricane Sandy. Would you like to make a bet that we see positive growth again in the first quarter?

That is like saying that the economy under George W. Bush was shrunk due to Hurricane Katrina. To which, BTW, the response was no worse than Obama's response to Sandy.

Sure there were hugs and kisses. But ask the people of New Jersey and Long Island.

Oh... and BTW.. overall government expenditures actually ROSE in q4... up over q4 expenditures in 2011 and 2010

So this whole myth that the reduction in GDP was because we did not spend enough shows further to be bullshit

Keep lying... it just shows more and my the hyper-partisan asshole you are

Defense spending INCREASED 13% in Q3

And in the three quarters prior to the 3rd Quarter, Defense Spending decreased, as your chart shows. Care to explain how was that is a lie?

No.. 2 quarters.. basically dead even the other... .. PER USUAL in the way governmental spending goes

And the spike down in q4 was only because of the abnormally high spike up in q3....

Boo... you keep beating that dead horse, but it is not going to take you across he finish line for a win

Nope 3 quarters, even if one of the quarter was a very small decrease. Not a lie.

Yep, must be those dam Republicans, Bush, and that Dick Chaney guy conspiring to bring down the country, not the policies of the self righteous. Its a conspiracy centered on destroying jobs and markets to make the Messiah look like a fool. The problem is he already is a fool and the three named above are not in control. FYI expect defense spending to remain flat or decrease over the next 4 years as the war in the Mideast ends and US policy makers inflict further cuts.

Obama; GETTIN' 'ER DONE!!!​

"5.5 million lost jobs have been recovered. As Bloomberg News noted, “The economy has recovered 5.51 million of the 8.74 million jobs that were lost as a result of the last recession.”

DickheadDave. Military spending was down in the 3 quarters prior to the 3Q. It was the threat of the fiscal cliff.

Plain and simple Dems will never accept guilt and will forever be looking at someone to point the finger at, or in some cases, give the finger to.
