Real GDP Collapse: 1.7% For Year...

[Mad Scientist]

I seem to recall reading in the CBO numbers that in order to pay for ObamaCare the economy has to grow at a 6-8% clip.

Tell us Liberals, when's that gonna' happen?

It makes my brain hurt as if the stupid is contagious from hanging around here.....I'm gonna have to take a long break.

How do Democrats win more than 1% of the vote? Look at the stupidity out in the trillions column

Stop it, just stop. You sound like a real ignoramus.

You support Ron Paul and you call ME the ignoramus?

Yeah, i do. Because it's true.

It is true what?

You're an ignoramus.

So when Mitt is nominated by the GOP, are you going to vote for him or maybe write in the old racist, Ron Paul's name. You and your idol, Ron Paul, are one step away from being over the edge. PLEASE DON'T LET ME STOP YOU!

Gee, you're so smart. Think that up all by yourself? Yeah, you are an ignoramus. I was right.

I am not sure of they said 6-8%, BUT they did use a growth rate that puts us behind the curve already.

it means making headway as in picking up ground, over and above slithering along the baseline where we sit now....

2.8% growth is higher than the historical average, higher than the eight years prior to Obama and higher than most decades in US history. It's not slithering.

you know, you do this with the montly employment numbers too, who gives a poo poo what a 'normal' rate spread out of 10 years is? hell, the rate from 1946-74 was 3.8%..... and?????

And...That was the apex of Bretton Woods. Maybe we could learn something from that, huh?

we are not IN normal, stop with the smoke screens.

we are coming out of a recession? in a 'recovery' phase?

It doesn't matter. The fact is we are growing, and at a decent rate.

q4 last year started out at 3.2 then wound up at 2.3%. We need to get above 4.0 for a sustained period to start making a real dent. and 2.8% was for the quarter, hello. its 1.7% for the year. that blows chunks.

4.0 to make a real dent in what, exactly? We are making a slow but meaningful "dent" at 2.8%.

 

[Trajan]

1.7% is decent? or is that the new yardstick?

yes is does matter, but hey if you're employed I guess it doesn't.


in what? my sock drawer. your middle name must be inane pugnacity.
