If you would have looked within the source you would have seen links that would show that the economy is not getting better but getting worse. Just because the government says that the economy is getting better do not make it true.

Well, you're right that the sources within the article say the economy is getting worse. However, many of the sources are opinion pieces and mean nothing. Others, like the FRED link, link to data that is over a year old.

In short, there was nothing I could find in that article that factually proves the economy is getting worse. But, maybe I missed something. Why don't you present the evidence and the link. Thanks.

You do more harm by telling people things are getting better, they need to prepare so the shock when the bottom falls out will not be so bad. Why are you doing this? When the bottom falls and the government can no longer cov er up their lie people will panic. Why do you want people to panic why don't you want them to prepared now before it's to late?

I don't practice faith-based economics. I need facts.

Because various elements in the economy (like the RE market, or employment) do not move up or down in unison with the GDP.

Now honestly, lad, did you NOT know that?

Bacause if you seriously don't know that?

Really then there is no reason for anone to even consider you're POV about things economic


Go read a book, lad.

Was that command side step to the left? Do you really want a discussion on artificially inflated GDP? We could crank it further you know. Just have the government ramp up spending. It works every single time without fail.

I wouldn't want that on my head to lie to people for political gain. The economy is getting worse I suggest that you stop hunting for government talking points and prepare. You do realize you are practicing a faith based in government?

That's what some say. But what I can't understand is why do some people defend the government know full well they are doing more harm than good trying to defend the cooked numbers that the government releases.

Again, there is no evidence that the economy is getting worse or the bottom is going to fall out. You still have not shown any.

So, let me get this straight. You want me to prove that you are wrong, even though you have provided no evidence in support of your position.

Wait, unless, do you think the links contained in that article are evidence of a worsening economy?

Dude, we got it. There are links to sources within the article. We know. THAT is what I'm talking about! The links do NOT prove your point that the economy is worsening. They are opinion pieces and links to charts a year old. Did you look at the links?

Now answer the question, do you think the links in that article are evidence of a worsening economy?

Plus, just for the record, some of the claims in the article are neither good or bad things.

For example:

If the economy is getting better, then why has the number of self-employed Americans fallen by more than 2 million since 2006?

If the economy is getting better, then why did an all-time record low percentage of U.S. teens have a job last summer?

If the economy is getting better, then why is the average age of a vehicle in America now sitting at an all-time high?

If the economy is getting better, then why are 19 percent of all American men between the ages of 25 and 34 living with their parents?

To all of those I would answer "So what?"
