and no one pays any attention,because they know it’s all lies
I don’t believe these numbers for 1 second. Must have changed the formulas or just picked a number from the air that they thought sounded good.
Dung. Pure dung.
Anyone believing these numbers should call me immediately. I have a bridge in NY available at a very reasonable price to a smart, discriminating owner.
Ah, yes...coming on the heels of predicting anemic <1% growth through the rest of the year.
Does the euphoria experienced on a real roller coaster ride really translate to the stupid people for which this garbage is intended?
Dunno...my stomach’s still stuck on economic ‘flat spin’...

“Oh, yes sir. Bit me right in the buttocks. They said it was a million dollar wound, but the army must keep that money ‘cause I still haven’t seen a nickel of that million dollars.”
The “numbers” will be “adjusted downward” right after the November elections, and a lot of the lies the RATS have been telling will stop. And probably Lois Lerner’s e-mails will turn up on a coffee table in the White Hut.
This is, how you say, “warmed leavings of a male cow.”

Because the next Quarterly report in November with “positive” news would be too late for the mid-terms ....
GDP is up because inflation is up.
Have you been to the grocery store lately?
Of course in a month or so from now they will quietly announce revised figures showing about a half point growth.
I call bullshit.
To be honest, there is very slow growth from the 4th quarter of last year until now.
The real question is this: how much more is the GDP now than it was at the end of last year?
Is it 4.2% more? Nope. It’s Not even 2% more. Why? Because it was revised so far down that any increase would look monumental.
Let’s say that something goes down 4.2% one quarter. That would be awful, right? But then if it goes up 4.2% the next quarter, should you be crowing about how great your growth has been? Nope. All you’ve done is catch back up. You’ve not really GROWN at all.
LIARS
The market is up 7.5% in the last six months, which is a nice gain considering all the international turmoil.
In the economy, wages are stagnant, and work force participation is way down, but there is plenty of welfare available to all comers, and the GDP has grown slowly in almost every quarter since 2010.
I don't think the Republicans have much to work with in those two areas.
And, since the Republican leadership gave up trying to repeal ObamaCare, since they gave up on the budget, since they gave up on debt increases, since they refuse to vigorously defend Israel, and since they search for every opportunity to betray us on immigration, I can't think of any other issues we can run on.
ISIS, maybe?
Last year, I predicted the GOP would win 4 Senate seats, 2 seats short of a majority.
Since the GOP stands for nothing, I'm sticking with that number.
