Republicans efforts to keep the economy down are failing

[JoeB131]

No headline - Economy » Abilene Reporter-News

Consumers, who drive most economic growth, spent more on cars, furniture, electronics and other goods in July and more in May and June than previously thought. That burst of activity is encouraging because it shows many Americans were willing to spend despite high unemployment, scant pay raises, steep gas prices and diminished wealth.

If it keeps up, the economy might rebound after growing at an annual rate of just 0.8 percent in the first half of 2011.

Now if the corps hire like they say they plan to in the third quater then you will have to work even harder to find a way to trash consumer confidence

Consumer confidence just dropped to the lowest level since 1980....

Now, maybe, just maybe we might avoid sinking into another recession, but that isn't saying much.

This thread is about the rights attempts to kill the recovery and NOT MM

TM you don't even know how to do a recovery. You have started tons of threads with undeniable proof the recovery was in FACT happening and now you are debating why it’s NOT happening.... DO you even see just how fucking moronic you sound to anyone that that knows you on these boards?

SO TM, did the recovery happen in the past?

How did it happen when you claim Republican stalled and killed the recovery?

Did the TP kill the recovery by holding the country hostage as you believe?

How can we be having another recovery just weeks after the TP killed the recovery and
held the nation hostage and when Bonehard said Republicans got 98% of everything they wanted?

Do you agree with Obama that a downgrade would be “devastating” to the economy?

How can we be seeing another “recovery” when the country was downgraded?

If we are seeing another recovery after being downgraded and devastation is not what’s
happening then shouldn’t you be thanking the Tea Party?

You go back and forth so much that you make your average liberal person scared to admit they are liberal because that might mean the identify with a crazy fringe bigoted hater like you.

The biggest threat to the economy right now is a group of Americans who will do ANYTHING to trash the economy so they can win the next election

What are they doing to trash the economy?

She is out of "triger words" atm... She can't say "held the economy hostage " or some bullshit soundbite like that because if she wants to argue the economy is getting better the downgrade/hostage/TP shit won't fit in due to timeline issues... Giver her 2 weeks to a month.

Republicans efforts to keep the economy down are failing

There are no republican ‘efforts’ to keep the economy down – but they do cheer, quietly, privately, with each bit of poor economic news. They hope the economy continues to struggle, for perceived political gain, although it means continued hardship for millions of Americans.

Generally, I agree with you on every post I've ready. But if they aren't making efforts to keep the economy down, then where are the jobs? And why did Michele Bachmann have this to say?

The same regulations are not evern in place.


Why are the corporations sitting on mountains of cash if the regulations are so onerous?

Because they have no confidence in the morons that you placed in Washington.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that out, but it does take someone that actually graduated from kindergarten. The lack of which is why you should be excused from your ignorance.

Oh yes they are.

They are beating up any positive sign the economy shows.

This is now a consumer confidence game and they are hurling rocks at anything that looks like a positive reaction from the consumer.

I hate to point out the glaringly OBVIOUS, Truthmatters...but there really haven't been a lot of positive signs regarding the economy to "beat up on". Consumer confidence is down because consumers are looking for leadership and they are seeing a President who seems to have nothing to offer except finger pointing. What's his plan to fix unemployment? What's his plan to stimulate the economy? You've got someone who is campaigning for another four years as President when he seems to have run out of ideas two and a half years into his FIRST term. Why would anyone support such a person?

What's his plan? Why another failed Stimulus plan of course.

What can Congress do to create jobs? Five Democratic proposals. - Extend stimulus spending, lite - CSMonitor.com

But liberal Democrats are calling for a program along the lines of the $809 billion stimulus plan that Congress passed in 2009 – only more. Many Democrats still say that their stimulus failed only because it was not robust enough.

What's that saying about "Screw me once shame on you; screw me twice shame on me"?

I see that TDM ran away from the thrashing she took yesterday and right into another one today. That is not at all surprising.

If you are a Republican please realize this; The Republican party is STILL in favor of deregulation even after this policy caused the meltdown of our economy in 2008. The GREEDY Wall Street people were given free-reign with the deregulation policy and they showed their true colors. They ROBBED US BLIND! Please understand that when Republicans say "Big Government" what they are really saying is "Let us run free with no oversight, we can be trusted". Really? We have to be smart enough to abandon party when their ideology is so transparentally selfish in favor of the greedy rich! Deregualtion is not "Big Government" it is keeping an eye out for us, the middle class and poor. These beurocrats are bought and paid for by big corporations and again, if you are not wealthy you have no business being a Republican. By the way, it's not big government when they decide to interven in women's health issues is it? No, of course not. The Republican's are hypocrites and their policies will only further destroy the middle class and the poor among us. Please see through them!!

 

[asterism]

You people really dont care about the country do you ?


Consumer confidence is critical at this momment in a recovery.

You are either on the side of American recovery or you are on the republican side.

You cant be both.

Its either trash the economy to win the next election or help the country.


We all know what it is you will do.

What do you think this comment did to consumer confidence?

Regulation and threats by democrats keep American business sitting on the sidelines.

Which regulations? Which "threats"?

Regulations for clean air and clean water.

Threats Republicans made to cut unemployment benefits for millions of Americans unless Obama extended the tax cuts for the wealthy.

Maybe you are starting to figure this all out.

Why would they invest when the promise is to take more from them in taxes and regulation?

Because this country makes their profits possible

Because this country makes their profits possible

Too much risk, not enough return on investment.

The democrats have screwed investors out of billions.

You can go just about anywhere for a better return. So if its this country. How is that possible?

 

[Truthmatters]

Then they can get their asses out of the coutnry if they think that instead of trying to hold our econoomy back so they can pick our president.

Oh Lord, how funny, you actually believe your delusions.

No one elected you as arbitrator of who gets thrown out of the country, you delusional little bitch. Stop hating people just because they don't follow your Messiah.
