Don rsquo t believe what you hear about the US economy Al Jazeera America

That is a very interesting article about current situation in the US economy.
The statistics shows us that 5% economy growth is not a cause for rejoicing but a canary in the coal mine.

Do you agree with it? I mean do you think that this economy growth is the real success criterion or just calm before the storm?

Still a lot of mixed signals. Factory orders down three months in a row and bond yields, ******* amazingly, back down below 2% for the 10-year.

At the same time, the foundation is there, employment numbers have improved, sentiment much better.

Anyone who thinks they can predict the short term is fooling themselves. Or a political partisan. Well, same thing.

Lol....lol.... lol.....

1% growth means that Obama sucks, 5% growth means don't believe it....

meanwhile, people who understand that economies are cyclical know that neither of these things are true.

Employment and sentiment are both lagging indicators. The rest of the world is slowing down. China is slowing. Europe is practically moribund. The price of commodities is a good indicator of demand, which is weak. The economy is not doing that well, and the UE rate is artificially low since many have left the workforce.

This oil crash has been perplexing. There's at least as much bad news in it as good news.

And many "experts" have been predicting that we'd escape the international problems.

We could go either way here.
