Well, here we go again.

1) The American people assign responsibility for the economy to Obama/Democrats..

2) The (actual) unemployment figures dabble with 30% in several Democrat controlled States, the first of the State bankruptcies are recognized.

Eh... it's a start.....:dunno:
 
The Year of 2013 Predictions...

U.S.
Global "Bright Spot"

"The U.S. may be a “bright spot” for the global economy in 2013, with Europe and Japan “not optimistic,” said the official who oversees day-to-day management of China’s $3.3 trillion foreign exchange reserves.

Credit expansion and the development of the alternative energy industry will help make the U.S. “the major power promoting global economic growth in the future said Huang Guobo, director of the foreign exchange reserves management department at China’s State Administration of Foreign Exchange. A summery of Huang’s comments, made Dec. 16 at Tsinghua University’s Shenzhen campus, was published on a school website today.

China, the largest foreign lender to the U.S. government, increased its Treasuries holdings in October to a five-month high of $1.16 trillion, according to U.S. Treasury Department data released on Dec. 18. SAFE doesn’t publish data on its investments and Huang, also the foreign exchange regulator’s chief economist, didn’t directly comment on China’s holdings.

“Buying U.S. treasuries is a good choice for China now because the dollar is expected to appreciate,” Liu Dongliang, a foreign exchange analyst with China Merchants Bank in Shenzhen, said by phone today. “Also, the credit risk of U.S. government debt is lower than European and Japanese bonds.”

2013 predictions? Okay, what the hell. I predict the world will not end, the economy will not crash and there will be another season of American Idol that gets more people voting than National Elections do.
 
2013

We figure out that the Mayans forgot to carry the one and the world ends
 
Your Christmas wish list is kind of dark.

It's kind of all they have.

Imagine if Obama's second term ends with low unemployment and a vibrant economy?


They'd call it "The Bush Economy".

:lol:

.

LOL Good thing I won't be holding my breath for a vibrant economy and low UE as long as Barry Boy is in the WH.

The last four years proved he doesn't know what he's doing. I suspect the next four will be just the same.

Last miracle I heard about happened a couple of thousand years ago. I doubt Barry is on that train.
 
1) Massive debt increase, again
2) Working class people do start to realize that their taxes have increased
3) True unemployment hovers around the same level, at best
4) Higher taxation slows economy
5) Government says it needs to spend even more, restarting the cycle all over again

How exactly does the last for years "prove" the President doesn't know what he's doing? Cite some examples.

Ya'll say that the President made the promise that he'd get unemployment below 8% in his first term. While he never actually made that claim, unemployment is now below 8%. We've had over two straight years of job gains...this after losing 700,000 jobs a month when he took over from Bush II.

How about corporate profits? How are those doing under this "socialistmarxistkenyannazi"? Don't go scrambling to find out, 'cause I'm in the giving spirit so I'll tell you. They are at an all time high. All time!

The economy is improving. I'm sorry if that actually upsets ya'll, but it is. The real issue here is why does an improving economy upset you all so much?
 
1. Fiscal cliff will be resolved in a way that satisfies nobody
2. After a weak first half, the economy creeps upward with unemployment dropping around a percent.
3. Minor gun controls are passed
4. Copycat massacres continue as gunmen try to outshock Sandy Hook
5. Deficit spending decreases slightly but debt increases overall
6. Supreme Court strikes down DOMA but upholds Prop 8. Three more states allow gay marriage
7. Obama replaces one Supreme Court Justice. Liberal for a liberal
8. A major hurricane will hit North Carolina

3) Truthmatters finally figures out the difference between your and you're. Oh, wait. Is it okay to include miracles in the predictions?

Oh its improving all right. About as fast as molassas moving uphill in Winter and if he did know what he was doing it wouldn't have taken four years to get where it is. Its improving despite his crappy policies.

Glad you think that UE at what 7.9 percent is good. I'm sure those still looking for jobs will have a hard time agreeing with you. Granted its better that 8 or 8.3 percent but nothing to write home about.

Lets just see what the next four years bring. With Obamacare looming on the horizon you can bet it won't be good.

Six trillion in new debt + interest - you think that things have improved :confused:
