The definition of “improve” is in the eye of the beholder (not just Holder)!
Everything is wonderful according to the cheerleaders on CNBC.
It’s frivolous now for me to refill the bird feeder.
It’s going to get worse. Pleas do not forget who is at fault. Obama Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid plus ever sons of *itch in the Congress who voted for Obamacare.
Simple answer: the economy will not improve...it may even fail.
When it does, every dumble is on my a$$ whoopin list. And a buch of rinos too.
improving the economy is now measured by how much better off nonproductive government dependents and union/gov employees are doing. How the resources to pay for the party are doing is irrelevant. Caring about the makers instead of solely focusing on the takers is racist or insensitive.
The Margaret Thatcher rules is coming - like an atomic freight train.
Well, D'UH!
The Money Witch Pelosi gave us a hint. We just haven't done enough!
Increasing welfare payments, food stamps, unemployment checks, subsidies to everybody who wants healthcare and doubling the minimum wage all contribute to a more active and robust economy!
When the takers ourbumber the makers 3 to 1, it's only a matter of time before we are all singing the "Hope and Change Kum-BA-yah" song!

All that money going to pay for higher priced healthcare is money that would have been spent on other, more productive, things.
Not to worry. Soon Yellin will take over Bernanke’s job of pumping Fed funds into their cronies accounts, and the business media will tell everyone that happy days are here again...even if you can’t afford decent hamburger at $4.00/lb. (There is no inflation, you know.)
When everyone has less money to spend, people will feel less envious of those who have more. Then a sense of equality will take over and morale will improve. We will all be so euphoric that the rich have been brought low that nobody will feel the need to buy anything. No need to buy anything means businesses will fail by the truckload, teaching the greedy business owners a lesson, further improving the morale of the envious have-nots who now have many more among their number. As a feeling of contentment spreads over the nation, nobody will notice that Pelosi, Boxer, Kerry, Obama and the rest of the scum have become rich beyond belief without having to produce a single thing. But that’ll be okay, because they care so much. And therefore the economy will improve.
Next question?
The economy is being shrunk to fit a few with no plan to re-expand it. It’s been going on for decades. Policymakers have been concerned about over overpopulation, the environment, appearances, etc. (in other words, they despise their neighbors for existing).
So do we buy puts on retailers like WM, Target, etc and make a killing when their earnings tank?
Improve the economy by decreasing prices.
The velocity of money is the frequency at which one unit of currency is used to purchase domestically- produced goods and services within a given time period. In other words, it is the number of times one dollar is spent to buy goods and services per unit of time. If the velocity of money is increasing, then more transactions are occurring between individuals in an economy.

The 10K earnings by 25% is bunk, because most of them are supplemented by: EITC, welfare benefits of other sorts like food stamps and free childcare, child support or retirement income. Or they are living at home with relatives, such as teenagers or wives working part time, so the 10K is only part of the household income.
A quarter of the population is not living off 10K per year.
The reason is that the USA is adding another 1 million barrels @ day to oil production. Plus keeping the supplies of natural gas low and plentiful.
The oil patch will basically add about 2% to gnp.
Anyone anywhere near it will make more money. The feds will collect an extra 200 billion in taxes. States and localities will collect another 20 billion or so,
Something big is coming; there’s no denying it now.
Depression, dictatorship, anarchy, Atlas Shrugged, who knows for sure?
You can’t push this kind of stupidity in the name of “economic recovery” by accident, so there should be no doubt among rational people that there’s a goal behind it all.
As long as the tax revenues continue to be pocketed by bogus gov. spending programs... in order to line the pockets of our politicians and give them bartering tools among one another, what makes anyone think for a minute they have any concerns whatsoever of what Americans have to spend!
Their concern is only to continue whatever lines their pockets and their ventures....to think otherwise is simply foolishness. We are simply the production line to their endeavors...as they "play" on the International game board to attain their places and clout there.
