When the 0.2% GDP growth number came out on Wednesday, economists were quick to emphasize that it was just a temporary blip. [snip] Such words would be comforting indeed if it weren't the fifth April out of the past six that economists made almost the exact same claim

Economist are just another title for glorified/overpaid salesman that are hired to pump up the economy
Just saying.
America is currently running a 342 billion dollar/year trade deficit with China.
That grows every year.
Our economy is a mess. Bring back American jobs.
Get our government out of our way, and spend less money, and the jobs will come back on their own without someone like you yammering about raising our taxes to bring them back.
Someone needs to stand up for American jobs.
Stand up, Republicans.
Who is not surprised? The Big Brother Democrat news channels are a lot like the newscasts that Winston Smith and the other proles had to watch on the telescreens in “Nineteen Eighty-Four”.
Who says I’m against a 100% tariff on imports?
America goes further into the economic pie-hole every day.
We need to bring back America’s economy. Somehow. If tariffs on all imports will work, I’m all for that.
But we need to do something.
Oh, idunno. Fine art, super-mansion and mega yacht sales are doing pretty good.
I think there was a mispelling in the title, should be “Obananist”
Well, once people started explaining to you what a stupid idea it was to double the price of gasoline in the name of economic prosperity (or to “bring our jobs back”), you dropped it all for economic populism, aimed at low-information voters.
Oops, I got it wrong as well “Obamanist”
I don’t recall dropping the subject at all.

I’m not stuck on the idea, but I’m hardly against it. What gave you that idea?
Not at all.
I work for a large industrial conglomerate. We are and have been prepping for a full blown recession by September. Worldwide, the economy is barely moving and slowing....even in China. No good news. If Iranian oil hits the market, oil will crash as well. Not good.
How can any economists have a shred of credibility after none of the saw the greatest crash since the Great Depression coming in 2008? They have never explained that colossal failure.
I thought we were at peak oil 10 years ago. /s. At this rate it’s going to be cheaper to fill So. Cal. swimming pools with oil than water.
“Stand up, Republicans.”
Sorry, but they are sitting down for a snack at the country club while their company hires more H-1B’s and keeps the stock price up!
“Prosperity is just around the corner”
—may or may not have been said by Herbert Hoover.
I think there is something else at work here.
