Wow..."Brutal 2015 Winter Took A Toll On The U.S. Economy"

[healthmyths]

Brutal 2015 Winter Took A Toll On The U.S. Economy
Brutal 2015 Winter Took A Toll On The U.S. Economy
The U.S. economy shrank at a 0.7 percent annual rate in the first three months of the year, depressed by a severe winter and a widening trade deficit.

The government's revised estimate for last quarter was weaker than its initial estimate of a 0.2 percent growth rate. The U.S. trade gap — the difference between the value of exports and the larger value of imports — was found to be wider than first estimated. And consumer spending was slower than previously thought.

But steady job gains are expected to fuel modestly healthy growth for the rest of 2015. The harsh winter, which kept many consumers home and businesses closed, and a labor dispute that slowed trade at West Coast ports are both over.

OK...
"Brutal winter" excuse....
How about these events...was there ANY AFFECT on the economy?
Recession
1) Are you aware that a recession started under Clinton and became official 3/01 ended 11/01?

A Major $5 trillion market loss
2) Are you aware that the dot.com bust occurred and cost $5 trillion in losses?
According to the Los Angeles Times, when the dot-com bubble burst, it wiped out $5 trillion dollars in market value for tech companies. More than half of the Internet companies created since 1995 were gone by 2004 - and hundreds of thousands of skilled technology workers were out of jobs.

3)Obviously most of you are UNAWARE 9/11 cost 3,000 lives, $2 trillion in lost businesses,market values assets. Jobs lost in New York owing to the attacks: 146,100 JUST in New York.
Year 2001: September 11 Terrorist Attacks
The 9/11 terrorist attacks were the events that helped shape other financial events of the decade. After that terrible day in September 2001, our economic climate was never to be the same again. It was only the third time in history that the New York Stock Exchange was shut down for a period of time. In this case, it was closed from September 10 - 17. Besides the tragic human loss of that day, the economic loss cannot even be estimated. Some estimate that there was over $60 billion in insurance losses alone. Airlines didn't fly for 3 days!
Approximately 18,000 small businesses were either displaced or destroyed in Lower Manhattan after the Twin Towers fell. There was a buildup in homeland security on all levels. 9/11 caused a catastrophic financial loss for the U.S.

Anthrax Attacks...
The 2001 anthrax attacks in the United States, also known as Amerithrax from its Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) case name, occurred over the course of several weeks beginning on Tuesday, September 18, 2001, one week after the September 11 attacks. Letters containing anthrax spores were mailed to several news media offices and two DemocraticU.S. Senators, killing five people and infecting 17 others.

4) $1 trillion in losses due to the WORST Hurricane SEASONS in history.
The worst, Katrina made landfall in Louisiana as a Category 3 in 2005. It took 1,836 lives and caused $81.2 billion in damages. It quickly became the biggest natural disaster in U.S. history, almost destroying New Orleans due to severe flooding.

Right!
And remember Obama even told people BEFORE he was elected he was going to make them "FOOLS"!
Obama's book... "Dreams from My Father"...
"It was usually an effective tactic, another one of those tricks I had learned.
People were satisfied so long as you were courteous and smiled and made no sudden moves.
They were more than satisfied. They were revealed.
Such a pleasant surprise to find a well-mannered young black man who didn't seem angry all the time."

Then Obama hires as the Obamacare adviser a guy who said it took the "Stupidity of American voter" to pass Obamacare!

Recessions don't like the water faucet IMMEDIATELY HAPPEN! Dummy!
It takes months before you have 2 consecutive quarters per the NBER
DEFINITION of 'Recession'
The technical indicator of a recession is two consecutive quarters of negative economic growth as measured by a country's gross domestic product (GDP); although the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) does not necessarily need to see this occur to call a recession.
Recession Definition Investopedia
2 consecutive meaning:
Jan 2001 to March 2001 is ONE of the two...
Oct 2000 to Dec 2000 in the first of the two.... ahem.... Who was President at the end of 2000?

The 2001 anthrax attacks in the United States, also known as Amerithrax from its Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) case name, occurred over the course of several weeks beginning on Tuesday, September 18, 2001, one week after the September 11 attacks. Letters containing anthrax spores were mailed to several news media offices and two DemocraticU.S. Senators, killing five people and infecting 17 others.

The worst, Katrina made landfall in Louisiana as a Category 3 in 2005. It took 1,836 lives and caused $81.2 billion in damages. It quickly became the biggest natural disaster in U.S. history, almost destroying New Orleans due to severe flooding.

It takes months before you have 2 consecutive quarters per the NBER
DEFINITION of 'Recession'
The technical indicator of a recession is two consecutive quarters of negative economic growth as measured by a country's gross domestic product (GDP); although the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) does not necessarily need to see this occur to call a recession.

Brutal 2015 Winter Took A Toll On The U.S. Economy
Brutal 2015 Winter Took A Toll On The U.S. Economy
The U.S. economy shrank at a 0.7 percent annual rate in the first three months of the year, depressed by a severe winter and a widening trade deficit.

The government's revised estimate for last quarter was weaker than its initial estimate of a 0.2 percent growth rate. The U.S. trade gap — the difference between the value of exports and the larger value of imports — was found to be wider than first estimated. And consumer spending was slower than previously thought.

But steady job gains are expected to fuel modestly healthy growth for the rest of 2015. The harsh winter, which kept many consumers home and businesses closed, and a labor dispute that slowed trade at West Coast ports are both over.

OK...
"Brutal winter" excuse....
How about these events...was there ANY AFFECT on the economy?

Year 2001: September 11 Terrorist Attacks
The 9/11 terrorist attacks were the events that helped shape other financial events of the decade. After that terrible day in September 2001, our economic climate was never to be the same again. It was only the third time in history that the New York Stock Exchange was shut down for a period of time. In this case, it was closed from September 10 - 17. Besides the tragic human loss of that day, the economic loss cannot even be estimated. Some estimate that there was over $60 billion in insurance losses alone. Airlines didn't fly for 3 days!
Approximately 18,000 small businesses were either displaced or destroyed in Lower Manhattan after the Twin Towers fell. There was a buildup in homeland security on all levels. 9/11 caused a catastrophic financial loss for the U.S.

Weather can definitely negatively affect various businesses, particularly retail ones.

As a board member of a company that made a well-known consumer product, a brand name virtually everyone in here would recognize, our distribution included 6,000+ independent dealers across the country as well as 700+ of our own retail stores.

Every Monday morning those members not out of town met to recap the previous week's business, which naturally included sales in our company-owned retail outlets. Those reports always compared sales to the same week the previous year as well as where their sales stood overall year-to-date. And it was always quite interesting to see the impact weather could have on them. Had one been living under a rock the previous week, one could tell from those sales reports where weather had been an issue in various parts of the country that week. And not just snow and cold either. Bad rains, heat and humidity, especially in areas not known for such weather, etc. would keep folks and their dollars out of the stores.

Year 2001: September 11 Terrorist Attacks
The 9/11 terrorist attacks were the events that helped shape other financial events of the decade. After that terrible day in September 2001, our economic climate was never to be the same again. It was only the third time in history that the New York Stock Exchange was shut down for a period of time. In this case, it was closed from September 10 - 17. Besides the tragic human loss of that day, the economic loss cannot even be estimated. Some estimate that there was over $60 billion in insurance losses alone. Airlines didn't fly for 3 days!
Approximately 18,000 small businesses were either displaced or destroyed in Lower Manhattan after the Twin Towers fell. There was a buildup in homeland security on all levels. 9/11 caused a catastrophic financial loss for the U.S.

Anthrax Attacks...
The 2001 anthrax attacks in the United States, also known as Amerithrax from its Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) case name, occurred over the course of several weeks beginning on Tuesday, September 18, 2001, one week after the September 11 attacks. Letters containing anthrax spores were mailed to several news media offices and two DemocraticU.S. Senators, killing five people and infecting 17 others.

4) $1 trillion in losses due to the WORST Hurricane SEASONS in history.
The worst, Katrina made landfall in Louisiana as a Category 3 in 2005. It took 1,836 lives and caused $81.2 billion in damages. It quickly became the biggest natural disaster in U.S. history, almost destroying New Orleans due to severe flooding.

The recession started under Clinton? WTF??? Your own link says it started under Bush.

Recessions don't like the water faucet IMMEDIATELY HAPPEN! Dummy!
It takes months before you have 2 consecutive quarters per the NBER
DEFINITION of 'Recession'
The technical indicator of a recession is two consecutive quarters of negative economic growth as measured by a country's gross domestic product (GDP); although the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) does not necessarily need to see this occur to call a recession.

2 consecutive meaning:
Jan 2001 to March 2001 is ONE of the two...
Oct 2000 to Dec 2000 in the first of the two.... ahem.... Who was President at the end of 2000?

You remain a lying piece of shit. You claim 2000-Q4 was negative, when in fact, it was positive 2.3%.

http://www.bea.gov/national/xls/gdpchg.xls

Why do you lie if facts and figures were on your side?

Wrong, those gdp values were revised into the negative at .5 for the q4 of 2000.

Umm ... check out the link I provided. Actual current GDP values. Q4-2000 was +2.3%

I stand corrected. 2.1 percent growth, revised .5 downward but still positive. The first and second quarter of 2001 were negative.

Q: The financial press often states the definition of a recession as two consecutive quarters of decline in real GDP. How does that relate to the NBER’s recession dating procedure?

A: Most of the recessions identified by our procedures do consist of two or more quarters of declining real GDP, but not all of them. But our procedure differs in a number of ways. First, we use monthly indicators to arrive at a monthly chronology. Second, we use indicators subject to much less frequent revision. Third, we consider the depth of the decline in economic activity. Recall that our definition includes the phrase, “a significant decline in activity.”

Weather can definitely negatively affect various businesses, particularly retail ones.

As a board member of a company that made a well-known consumer product, a brand name virtually everyone in here would recognize, our distribution included 6,000+ independent dealers across the country as well as 700+ of our own retail stores.

Every Monday morning those members not out of town met to recap the previous week's business, which naturally included sales in our company-owned retail outlets. Those reports always compared sales to the same week the previous year as well as where their sales stood overall year-to-date. And it was always quite interesting to see the impact weather could have on them. Had one been living under a rock the previous week, one could tell from those sales reports where weather had been an issue in various parts of the country that week. And not just snow and cold either. Bad rains, heat and humidity, especially in areas not known for such weather, etc. would keep folks and their dollars out of the stores.

But of course the below EVENTS had NO affect on the USA economy right? We can excuse Obama's management of the economy because of a brutal winter...
but none of these events caused any problems. Right?

1) Are you aware that a recession started under Clinton that officially started 3/01 and ended 11/01?

Source: USATODAY.com - It s official 2001 recession only lasted eight months

A Major $5 trillion market loss
2) Are you aware that the dot.com bust occurred and cost $5 trillion in losses?
According to the Los Angeles Times, when the dot-com bubble burst, it wiped out $5 trillion dollars in market value for tech companies. More than half of the Internet companies created since 1995 were gone by 2004 - and hundreds of thousands of skilled technology workers were out of jobs.

Who said those events didn't affect GDP? You're arguing a strawman and not responding to the lies you're telling.

You claimed Q4-2000 GDP was negative ... it wasn't. You claimed the 2001 recession started under Clinton ... it didn't.

And of course major weather events can hurt GDP. This isn't new since Obama became president. Here's the BEA preliminary report for Q3-2005. It attributes some slowdown in the economy to Hurricane Katrina....

What does that have to do with your bald-faced lie that Q4-2000 GDP was negative?
