These idiots couldn’t predict the sun coming up in the morning....
Or an eruption of flatulence after a Boston Baked Bean dinner.
Underreported unemployment, low paying Census jobs, record personal and business bankruptcies, a shrinking economy, and these fools were expecting a good report????
Folks, this feels like the end of the tech bubble, when all the ridiculous tech companies would throw lavish parties for employees every Friday afternoon....all for the appearance of things going swimmingly. Except the checks to the caterers were bouncing and then payroll checks to employees. Then everyone's stock options were "unexpectedly" not worth the paper they were printed on.
The lamestream media is sugar coating everything. Forget Double Dip....that is a treat you can get at Dairy Queen. Everything is artificially better right now through the end of the year as people rush to get all their income they can into 2010...when the Bush Tax cuts expire any breath of recovery will be crushed.
