Increased jobless claims always point to a recovery. And my massive beer gut always entices bikini models to my front door.
What utter BS. The NYT is still trying to tell the rest of the us how stupid we are that we don’t see a recovery.
Nothing is recovering, it has just hit rock bottom and can’t go any lower. The quicker we get rid of this Commie occupying the White House the quicker we can get to real recovery.
He got the weekend talking points a day early.
I believe the stimulus money is being held back till just before the election where the WH will release billions as payoffs for votes.
Even assuming the bloodied economy is stumbling to it’s feet, it won’t be long before the club of all the new taxes
will club it back down to the ground!
The Audacity of the NYT... why am I not surprised.
Uh....we're losing @ half a million jobs per WEEK. What "recovery?"
The next round of sub prime mortgages are coming due. How many will be homeless - and unemployed - this time?
The private sector has cut costs, in some cases drastically, to navigate through the recession. The public sector is spending more than ever at the federal, state, and local level. Recovery cannot begin in ernest until this government bubble bursts.
Sure...the economy is recovering....and Tiger Woods is really a virgin...
As Mark Twain put it, "There are lies, damned lies, and statistics." I think this article has all three.
Obama: No recovery will go unpunished! ;-)

Not where I sit and, believe me, I wish it were so.
Personally, I’ll start to have more confidence when commercial real estate begins moving again but, where I am, there is only an ever-growing glut as small businesses continue to shut down.
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...
Afetr all that blather, here are the writers hopes
“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.
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.
