If The Economy Is Improving….

Like I said in another thread, I find it wonderfully ironic that with all the comparisons to Carter, it's this President that's talking positive while it's the opposition that has to cry gloom and doom.

And we all know why.


:D
 
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?"

Do you think the links in that article are evidence of a worsening economy?

I find it ironic that you don't.

And I find it cowardly that you won't answer a simple question.

:D

Dumb ass this has nothing to do with politics there are people if not prepared will die. But you continue with you partisanship. Why can't you get past your political partisanship and and try to help people?


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?

It might be because I think your so-called evidence is crap and that going the way you want things to go ISN'T helping people, at least not as many.

Piss off with your superiority bit over me. I have been looking around and I don't like a lot of what I see, but that doesn't mean I have to come to the same conclusion and I don't.

Still won't answer the question I see. Ok coward. I'll help out and get more specific.

SNAP Monthly Data

Link for one of the sources in your article. It shows a chart of people receiving food stamps. It also shows that the increases have been slowing year over year since Bush left office and that in fact, the past 3 months have seen a decline in the total number.

So, how does a decline in the total number of people receiving food stamps mean the economy is getting worse?

Here's another one for you, Coward.

Nearly 20% of Florida homes are vacant - Mar. 18, 2011

From your article, the link showing vacant homes in Florida .... from March of last year!

What's going on today?

South Florida's single-family home move-ins rise in Q4 - South Florida Business Journal

Homeowner vacancy, rental rates fall in Q4 | Reuters

NOW, we see vacancies falling both in South Florida and nationally.

So, how do vacant homes from 11 months ago prove that the economy is worsening now, as you claim?

Do you need help reading your own links?

What was the total in Sept 2011? What is the total in November of 2011?

Which number is higher?

Bush was the DEVIL when his rose to 5.2%...and 7.3% at the end of his term... (5.2 was average over the span of his two terms).

He won't. Statist supporters won't. Their Party and Obama are more important as they continue to soak the 'rich' and demand more...fucking lazy ass moochers.
