Bad Obama Economy growing Worse!!!

[asur]

Obama and the Fed are lying about the state of the US economy.

There is no stabilization, it is getting worse actually.
No exaggeration needed here.

The job and housing markets deteriorated in July. This is proof
that Porkulous spending hasn't helped. Now retail sales are tanking and
this spells more pain to come.

The stock market has improved in July, but that can change!

Breaking News: Aug 13, 2009
Retail sales disappointed in July and the number of newly laid-off workers filing claims for unemployment benefits rose unexpectedly last week. The latest government reports reinforced concerns about how quickly consumers will be able to contribute to a broad economic recovery.

The Commerce Department said Thursday that retail sales fell 0.1 percent last month. Economists had expected a gain of 0.7 percent.

While autos, helped by the start of the Cash for Clunkers program, showed a 2.4 percent jump -- the biggest in six months -- there was widespread weakness elsewhere. Gasoline stations, department stores, electronics outlets and furniture stores all reported declines.

If people can not find jobs is this a recovery?


This is called CHANGE!

One of the things that cracks me up is that the released data for a month IS based on estimates--they don't actually have completely collated real-time data. In July, there is typically an artificial boost applied to account for the "seasonal" drop in employment that occurs due to "July Downs" in auto manufacturing plants and the like. Fact is this year that a lot of those same plants have been shut down on a permanent basis so an awful lot of that particular tweak will have to come off quietly a month or two later. 247,000 will rise but the news article to announce it will be buried deep in the paper.

This is the kind of stuff that we've learned to expect.

I don't mean to bore anyone, but today stock market investors did show
a lack of confidence in a recovery. You can read the story yourself here.

But the point is that the US consumer isn't spending, which means there is no recovery, which
means Obama is lying and that Porkulous didn't work. This is called CHANGE!

The jobs are disappearing so how could there be a recovery anyhow?

Just be happy the market is so volatile right now. It has gotten fairly easy to read, do yourself a favor and make some easy money day trading.

Volatile hardly says it. Market was Down > 2% just today.

Reality sinking in that Porkulous is making things worse.

Economy gone now, thanks to Obama!

It's called change!

Yes it was down about 2% today, but that comment ignores what it has done during its last run up. You cannot look at it through such a microscope.

 

[asur]

Tomorrow will be interesting.

If the market drops further, it can wipe out all gains rather quickly.
Markets drop more quickly then they rise.

Listen, the U6 > 16% now but real unemployment rate > 20% in US
right now! That's Great depression territory.

I think you know where the US is headed under Obama, down the toilet!

Actually, it is the beginning of a recovery. There is no proof that it will continue, but the signs are hopeful:

Do you remember when it was being said that the Democrats wanted America to lose the war in Iraq, as that would give them a better shot at the White House?

Well, we didn't lose the war in Iraq, yet the Democrats did win the White House.

Now, it appears that the Republicans want the economy to go sour, as that will give them a better shot at the White House.

I'm going to stick my neck out and predict that, unlike the war in Iraq analogy, if the economy does continue to rebound, the Republicans will have as much chance of winning the White House in the next election as a snowball has of surviving the summer on the sidewalk in Phoenix.

Anyone taking bets?

How comical to watch "conservatives" slowly loosing-their-grip on Reality!!



Face facts....this year is gonna END, just like it started-OUT....but, I'm sure you folks will find plenty-more things to freak-yourselves-out. ​

Mr. Sharman -More bad news from retailers like Home Depot today!
Target Corp.'s quarterly profit also fell!
Hewlett-Packard Co.'s profit dropped 19 percent in the latest quarter, dragged by ongoing weakness in sales of personal computers and printer ink.

The list goes on and on!
You know where the job losses will soon come from now!

It's called CHANGE!
