So we are to believe that we are in an economic recovery?
No, not if youre a partisan rightist hack.
Sears closing 100 stores has more to do with Wal*Mart and Home Depot/Lowes than the economy.

The Post Hoc Fallacy is committed whenever one reasons to a causal conclusion based solely on the supposed cause preceding its "effect". Of course, it is a necessary condition of causation that the cause precede the effect, but it is not a sufficient condition. Thus, post hoc evidence may suggest the hypothesis of a causal relationship, which then requires further testing, but it is never sufficient evidence on its own.
Post Hoc also manifests itself as a bias towards jumping to conclusions based upon coincidences.
Logical Fallacy: Post Hoc
Did I also lay off my employees because I'm a partisan hack?
Did I sell off new trucks and equipment because I'm a partisan hack?
Is my business close to going under because I'm a partisan hack?
Did I invest in additional advertising because I'm a partisan hack?
Your ignorant assumptions about my motives only prove it is you who is the partisan hack.
Fuck off scrub
