How Did We All Miss This?

[Moonglow]

It seems as though America's image in other countries is gaining prestige. We are once again seen as the leading economy...stealing that title back from China.

That's good news, right?

We also have a favorable image in general. As does the POTUS.

yes it is good news, but we can sure use a leader right now that can unite this country and get people fired up about the country they live in....

Then hire a pretty speech writer...

to fire you up moon all anyone has to do is get you some Bubba Kush and your fine....

I could write a hell of a speech then..

Should we be grateful China went capitalist on the People after building entire cities with the (other) Peoples' tax monies.

Just imagine if they started issuing housing according to the need of the State, merely to have their citizenry make fun of Capitalists from the rooftops of the entire cities created by Socialism, by claiming, y'all Capitalists are nothing but Hoover-ites compared to Good Socialists.

Amazing things happen. Change happens by the minute. Never be shocked by polls, research data, charts, or any other information that's fed to us by various sources. It's fun to watch the changes take place in research and the data that's released to the general public. A year from now, you may read something entirely different, showing a much different picture.

What? Are you saying that things change over time? Is that what you are trying to claim here?

What I said was meant as sarcasm. Look, I read the news, I look at research data, I keep up with the stock market, the price of oil, the piece of gold, etc. etc. etc.. It wasn't long ago when a lot of economists were saying that gold would hit $2,000 an ounce by the second quarter of this year. It's now down to between $1,000 and $1,100 an ounce. The same with oil. The same with the stock market. I read what economists say, and I keep up with the news. Yes, things change very rapidly. Some so-called experts say one thing, and another group of so-called experts say just the opposite.

Always read between the lines, pay attention to your community, your state, and listen to what folks on Main Street America are saying. For example, we're hearing how everything is getting better, and in some areas, they are. But, look at the cost of rent, utilities, health care, higher education, and then look at real wages and the benefits no longer offered by employers. Look at our rundown infrastructure, illegal immigration, racial tensions, the headlines concerning the gay community, 50% of our children are living at or below the poverty line, home ownership has declined, we have troubled pension funds, cities near bankruptcy, mounting government debt, military engagements on foreign soil, college grads working in the jobs as high school grads, our import dependency, our open borders, etc. etc. etc.

We are not doing good, nor are we anywhere near doing good.

We are not doing good, nor are we anywhere near doing good
some are some are not....here in Orange County things seem to be cruising along,lots of construction going on, UE is around 4.2% ....depends on where you are at and how many wealthy people live in the area...

since our good progressive friends got power on a national level the very richest got richer; the poorest got poorer

facts

the economy is doing great in my area, hell they are so desperate for workers they ask me to work..

You're 110% correct. There're areas of the country that are booming. Some areas have seen home prices bounce back to where they were pre-2008. Some areas have full employment and the economy is doing very well. Some areas are seeing new construction projects, and some are seeing commercial office space getting full again. The whole country is not in a funk, but a lot of areas are. But, the big picture shows a weak and fragile economy, and there're very few signs that things will get better any time soon. We still have a long way to go in order to consider ourselves on solid economic ground.
