It's Boooosh!

The only recovery is in the Government sector at the expense of the private sector.

They just spent another $26 Billion we don't have. These people are insane. They have failed. Time for real change. Make 2010 count people.

61 Percent of Employees Live Paycheck to Paycheck

One-third reduce long-term savings plans to make ends meet. A majority of American employees are finding themselves hard-pressed to live up to their household budgets, according to a new report from CareerBuilder. The survey of more than 4,400 full-time U.S. staffers found that 61 percent of respondents reported that they always or usually live paycheck to paycheck, an increase from 47 percent in 2008.

One-in-five workers (21 percent) polled said they are taking money from their long-term savings to satisfy financial burdens and have decreased their personal savings or 401(k) contributions over the last six months.

One-third of employees have forgone long-term savings plans. They have increased their savings each month (33 percent) and do not participate in 401(k)s, IRAs or other retirement plans (36 percent). Of those who did attempt to save, 30 percent saved $100 per month and 16 percent saved less than $50 per month.

The stock market dropped 265 today, who wants to invest after the economy is so aenemic? The short-sellers just steal the investment. Until the Fed fixes the system to reward long-term investors they can deal with the "jobless recovery".

Yeh for the Obama Recovery......

I don't think this is something we should be happy about.

That all depends on whether you are the party in power or the party out of power. It's a sad fact in American politics that the party out of power will do practically anything to discredit those in power. If it requires taking action that will do harm to country so be it. There is nothing the Republican party would rather see than a big increase in unemployment, a double dip in the economy, even better. Anything that can be done that pushes the country in that direction is OK. When Democrats are out of power, they do the same thing as the Republicans.

Unfortunately, for so many politicians it's party first and country second. And we wonder why so many people don't even bother to vote.

That's why incumbents are not getting re-elected. People are tired of the lifelong politician who doesn't do jack except sit back and enjoy the good life while his people struggle. They don't care about us. Maybe come November we can get some people in there who actually care about us.

I waited 35 years for that to happen. It never did. I left.

Democrats love career politicians. They will seek out the most power hungry greedy communist nepotistic scum available & vote them into office. In Missouri they voted in a dead man Mel Carnahan for senator & had his wife Jean Carnahan take his senate seat, Now democrats have voted 2 of his children into office. Russ Carnahan is their US House rep & Robin Carnahan Secretary of State. Now his daughter Robin Carnahan just won their primary for US Senate & Obama has campaigned for her. Robin & Russ Carnahan also have another brother Tom Carnahan who just got $900 Million from the Stimulus Bill. Corruption & Nepotism is the Democratic Campaign Motto!!!

 

[Mr. Shaman]

I want to recover all that tax payer cash this President's wife just blew on her luxurious vacation in Spain. Lets start there. Yikes!

That shit does not bother me. What bothers me, even though I did not vote for him, his only accomplishment is healthcare.......

That's what Porky Limbaugh says, huh??

[Mr. Shaman]

There was a day where corrked business was regulated by the people.
You screw over a customer, word gets out and no one buys from you.
That system worked.
Now, it is all about being a victim and restitution...and, of course, daddy fgovernment protecting you from making bad decisions.

Aw, geeeeeeeeeeeeee....

Hey, looky here!!!

It's lookin' like the "socialists" are losing-their-grip!!!!​

"General Motors Co posted its biggest quarterly profit in six years on Thursday and CEO Ed Whitacre stepped aside on the cusp of an IPO expected to allow the U.S. government to relinquish its majority stake.

Whitacre, 68, who has served just eight months as chief executive of the top U.S. automaker, said he would resign on September 1, to be replaced by Dan Akerson.

Akerson, 61, was named to GM's board by the Obama administration a year ago when the automaker was restructured in bankruptcy with $50 billion of U.S. government funding.

Whitacre's departure had been expected, but the timing of his announcement caught even GM insiders off guard, just a day ahead of GM's expected filing for a landmark stock offering.

Whitacre, who continued to commute from his home in Texas during his stint as CEO of the Detroit-based company, had said repeatedly that he would be an interim leader.

"It was obvious that I was not going to be at GM for the long haul," Whitacre said at the end of a conference call to discuss the company's second-quarter earnings.

"We have put a strong foundation in place, so I am very comfortable with my timing."

Despite GM's recovery over the past year, analysts say it still faces a challenge in winning back consumers because of the lingering stigma from its bailout and the "Government Motors" label from critics."

Gee.....everything's working so smoothly, you'd think it was planned, this way, right from the START!!

Watch and (TRY to) Learn, "conservatives".

 

[Avorysuds]

By the way, you can continue to put all of those colors in your post but when you do I don't read them and I doubt many other people do either...

Haha that's funny because I don't read it either. At first I think WTF is this add doing here THAT BIG. Them I realize it's the guy that makes posts like that and scroll on by. It makes it easy to avoid once you know he is on the thread.

Even if I would agree with him, I would still pass it up. For some reason his posts make me think it comes from someone paid to post online rather than a real person.

How does me not wanting to read your posts because they are tacky and gotti even if I would have agreed make me “conservative?”

The point is your posts make you either look like an commercial or like you are screaming for attention. I only agreed with someone about generally scrolling over your posts (in this case you quoted me so I read on) because they look like a Christmas tree, and you have links attached to much of your post, making me think I might end up getting a virus if I clicked on any of it.

Being your response was calling me “conservative” (btw, it just makes no sense) I’ll just assume most of your posts are not worth reading and are prolly full of partisan hack links anyway.

Keep it up, as I said it makes it easy to spot and scroll passed, for lots of us.

Hey......hang-on to your (various) Absolutes, as tightly as you can manage.

There's really no requirement to inform me whether-or-not you've read any of my posts.

Neither party has had a good record of reducing spending.
Neither party has been successful in keeping us out of war.
Neither party has had any real success at making us energy independent.
Neither party has been able to keep us out of recession.

And neither party has the answer on how to pull the country out of recession. Republicans would keep taxes low for the wealthy which would increase the deficit because they will not be able to reduce spending. The Democrats will continue applying fiscal stimulus to the economy. As in the past, this will only provide temporarily relief.

Despite the efforts of both parties, the economy will recovery in it's on time. Once business is confident that consumer spending will return they will start spending the cash they are piling up and expand. Once individuals gain confidence that they will find a job or keep the job they have, they will start spending more. There is no way to know what will provide that confidence. It could be taxes, foreign markets, government spending, news that inspires both business and the public, or a combination of events. Both conservatives and liberals will claim they have the solution. Economist and politicians on both sides will claim they see exactly what needs to be done. But the only clear sight they have is hindsight.

Looks like it's "Recovery in a Few Years" now instead of the "Summer of Recovery"

Obama Says Recession Recovery to Take Few Years


Kind of like how it used to be "Global Warming" but since last winter was cold, it's now called "Climate Change"

If you can't convince the public of something, change the name and try again....

......Especially the ones who've been collecting a check, for two-year$, while all-they-did was kept repeating: NO!!!!!!!
(....And, accusing those, on unemployment, of being lazy. )​
