Economy grows at fastest pace in 6 years - Stocks & economy- msnbc.com


The U.S. economy grew at a faster-than-expected 5.7 percent pace in the fourth quarter, the quickest pace in more than six years, as businesses reduced inventories less aggressively, the Commerce Department said on Friday.

The first estimate put fourth-quarter gross domestic product growth at its fastest pace since the third quarter of 2003. The economy expanded at a 2.2 percent annual rate in the third quarter.

LIES, LIES AND EVEN MORE LIES FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. NOTHING BUT LIES EVERY DAY.

The fact remains, if you take the increased Federal money out of the GDP equation, the Economy collapsed at a 6 percent or greater rate in the fourth quarter.

dream all you want.

The stimulus worked.

This country will recover instead of diving into a depression and the stimulus worked to stop the slide.

Imagine what this country would have looked like without the stimulus.

We would have been in a Massive mess.


Your ideas caused this mess and it took the ideas of the left to save it.

Obscene Debt Aside... Are you Expecting 5% Growth Consistently because of the Stimulus?...

And which Stimulus are your Crediting?...



peace...

 

[Truthmatters]

do you know what the definition of a recession is?

 

[Big Black Dog]

So I guess all of those people who are unemployed can begin to look for replies to their resumes, huh?

 

[Truthmatters]

The stimulus worked and now you know why not every dime was dumped into the economy all at once.

The money will be stimulating the economy for the next few years to try and head off a double dip recession.

You can pretend that jobs are not a lagging indicator just like you deny all facts to keep pretending this country cant recover.

Why would anyone trust you people on anything anyway, you CHEERED while this mess was made and called those of us who told you it was coming "whiners".

Quit your whining and be GLAD the country is recovering.

You sure were happy about the messes creation under your guy. One would think that us fixing it would be a good thing.

This is not going to end well for the conservative theorys and ideas.

This will be the second time Rs have screwed the economy and that dems had to FIX the mess the republicans made in ONE lifetime.

This is not a repub or demo thing. It was created by the whole process that was in place for the past thirty years and in that regard both sides of the aisle are responsible Rep or Dem or Cons or Lib.

DURABLE ORDERS
NOV 2009 +0.2%
OCT 2009 – 0.6%
SEP 2009 +1.0%
AUG 2009 – 2.4%

Durable orders show you that there has been no improvement in the economy. Only a decrease.

INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTION Is down about 7% for the past 12 months. In August when car sales were “soaring” we had a brief uptick in production that slowed down in September. After that it has been acting like a weak, barely flopping fish out of water.
DEC 2009 + 0.6%
NOV 2009 + 0.6%
OCT 2009 - 0.0%

AND HERE IS THE REAL REALITY.

Weekly INITIAL UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE CLAIMS These are the actual numbers of UI claims as reported by the states. Soaring in the past 19 weeks.

To hacks like Truthmattersnot, everything is "us v. them."

Didn't you know that?

 

[Skull Pilot]

Chances are (and this is more likely) the economy would have recovered on its own and faster without government meddling

 

[Truthmatters]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

you people are all cheering the demise of our economic system because Obama is at the helm and then come back at me for pointing out this GOOD news is bad for republicans which is why they deny any good is happening on many threads here.

When you people cheer on ideas that fuck us up this bad then YES this is about Dem abd R.

I never want to see this happen to the US again. The best why to protect us from this happening again is to keep yuour ideas away from the helm of this country.

The Rs have crashed our economy twice in one lifetime with their idiot ideas of a corporate utopian state.

 

[Midnight Marauder]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

you people are all cheering the demise of our economic system

Who's cheering that? No one.

You're cheerLEADING, is all I see.

Folks here in the real world understand that this latest bit of good news is a drop in the economic ocean compared to all the bad, and isn't anything like enough positive development to be crowing stupid shit like "the stimulus worked."

You don't even see Obama or any of his staff, or anyone in Congress saying anything that stupid. You see them saying we need ANOTHER stimulus even before half of this one is spent.

You're like the idiot ignorant cheerleader who, after her team scores in the 4th quarter making the deficit now 58-6, jumps up and down yelling "we're WINNING!!!"

I put my money back into the stock market once the stimulus bill passed, but spending trillions we don't have is always a bad idea so I'll definitely keep a close eye on it. America will pay for the stimulus, but I'm not sure when that will happen.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

That settles it, Dems will lose 100+ seats in the House in 2010

 

[uscitizen]

TM most of this "growth" was due to increased oil/energy costs and govt spending.
Not really a good thing for the average person as they have to pay more for energy and the govt spending growth is fleeting.

Just how I see it.

 

[Midnight Marauder]

govt spending.

But.... But.... But....

That's the FIX-ALL!
