US Economy Improves

[nova]

Gotta love that math. Lets only count the investments with positive returns in the profit/loss calculation :24:

Sure wish they count the return on my 401k like that I'd be a millionaire.

I also really love the media accounts of the economy these days.

5 years ago, with a 5.4% unemployment rate and a growing GDP, the news stories we were greeted with almost invariably read "Jobless Recovery this" "Jobless Recovery That."

The Joyless Recovery - The New York Times

Now with 9.6+% unemployment and a GDP that last I checked was still shrinking, all we hear about is the damn green shoots economy getting better, blah blah blah. And worse yet, its attributed to the Democrats and their stimulus of which <15% has been spent so far. I still can't figure out how money that hasn't been spent is spurring a recovery that hasn't appeared yet...

What a difference the letter after the name of the guy in the white house and the people controlling congress makes. I swear the media will do anything to protect them...

Detroit..... led by democrats for the last 50 years

Michigan....led by a democrat the last 6-7 years

I detect a pattern

being a conservative does not mean I am a fan of the reps by the way

both parties are trash.

America led by REPUBLICANS for the last eight years...not hard to see who sunk the ship in my mind.

I never said they did a great job.

The spent money like liberals.

We could restore every damn program back to 1980 and there would not be a think different here IMO. And we would have a whole lot let debt to worry about.

They should have had a class back in high school on how to educate a voter. You fail it you never vote.

No, they got us into unnecessary wars threw money and lives away wholesale. Flaunted our Constitution, alienated our allies, ruined our economy and just generally fucked us.

Actually if you paid attention the economy only really went south after the democrats took control of congress

Yeh! It's the Dems turn to throw and flaunt, alienate, ruin, and fuck, dammit! Why should the Repubs have all the fun? :rant:
