Business Insider that pointed out how much of the current consumer spending is occurring b/c they have no mortgages...

Disaster preparation? Blankets, warm clothing, large containers, bathroom tissue.........
If it weren't for Y2K, Clinton would have left us with less than one dollar to our names.

I’m with you, and I won’t be reading their BS. If and when this recovery ever takes place, it will be obvious, not smoke and mirrors from the media.

Last paragraph:
Change a few words (Reagan to Obama, Democrats to Republicans, 1984 to 2012) and you have an accurate description of the current political climate. Could the Republicans be as wrong now as the Democrats were then?

In 1984 we had a President who loved this country, dramatically cut taxes and regulation, stood strong against our enemies and never apologized for America let alone bowed to any foreign leader. In 2012 we will have an outgoing President who hates this country, dramatically increased taxes and regulation, showed weakness to our enemies and apologized for America at every opportunity and bowed to foreign leaders.

No, the only person wrong, aside from Obamao, is the putz writing this garbage.

There might be some signs of life after the swamp is drained of Democrats and RINO’s in November, and even more after Zero leaves office...

“Change a few words (Reagan to Obama, Democrats to Republicans, 1984 to 2012) and you have an accurate description of the current political climate. Could the Republicans be as wrong now as the Democrats were then”?

Retail spending is up slightly because people are getting income tax refunds. Meanwhile with a few exceptions, governments are bankrupt at all levels, from the Feds to municipal.

I have never seen so many stores closed in the 2 malls near me in NY and NJ.

If you look at the geographic distribution of economic gain, this much is certain. The recession is over...for government workers.

The economy is not the whole of our problems! Actually, if the economy picks back up everyone will go to sleep again while the nation slides towards Hell.

I don’t doubt it. Neither of those states are business friendly.

Have you been by that outlet mall by Bear Mtn? It must be getting like a ghost town, no?

Just another example of the MSM giving the Obaminator covering fire, just like they’ve been doing ever since about March of ‘09. Expect the stories about the “booming” economy to keep getting more stupid and banal as the weeks go by.

The MSM kept up a steady drip of toxic Bush stories from day one.

Nothing to see here...move along...

1 trillion dollars of suddenly printed "money" is not a recovery.

Didn't they just release multiple stories on an "unexpected" increase in jobless claims? This circling the toilet is making me dizzier than I expected!

I wish they'd sort their propaganda out.

Anyways, the mixed messages point to a disaster on the horizon. They can't even sort out their pets in the media to get the story straight. This doesn't bode well for the Obama regime, they make Hugo Chavez look like a model of efficiency.
