You really believe that we had a GDP of 5%?
It’s all and illusion, how can that be with almost 100 million people out of work and not looking for work?
Take away the government safety net and The Fed and your in a depression.

"Heck it seems half the Freepers are open border free traitors i.e. Libertarians" To me it seems that more and more we have Freepers who claim to be Conservative but spout unionista propaganda (A.K.A. liberalprogressivespeak) like "free traitors" and deride Libertarians...

Yep for years the dems said we couldn’t drill our way out of this. It was a “world market” so the supply side of the equation didn’t matter. They just wanted to keep the price high to wean us of evil gas. If you suffered ..so sad. Basterds.

How is the economy going to rip?
When your economy is dependent on the consumer being 70 to 80% of it and not having one that is balanced it can't work in the long run, we can't have a service based economy.
All the economists expect the consumer to start piling on debt again to make the thing work and that is ludicrous.

It would be negative and in truth it is negative. Check Shadow Statistics.com

As a High Information Tea Party voter, I agree. I don’t believe any of the government “statistics.” The economy is NOT growing and is NOT creating more jobs than it loses. And the REAL federal deficit has NEVER been higher!
To: blam
"The increase in real GDP in the third quarter primarily reflected positive contributions from PCE, nonresidential fixed investment, federal government spending, exports, state and local government spending, and residential fixed investment. Imports, which are a subtraction in the calculation of GDP, decreased," the BEA said. Obonics to English translation: The books are cooked.

Folks lets work with the truth here not the magic numbers from the magic Emperor of the USSA. Unemployment C-6 18.5%, GDP .04% after removal of true inflation number. Before you go crazy remember we are talking truth here not magic dust. We as a nation are so screwed you have no ideal.

The whole world... corporations, governments...folks just got a fat pay raise with this cheap oil. For some folks all news is bad news. I predict with pent up demand and folks finally coming out of their funk things will rip. I predict you’ll see Dow 25000 soon.

The standard of living depends on what you create and how much of it you get to keep, not how fast the government can shuffle money around.
Want to be a millionaire? Buy a paperclip from me for a $1. I’ll buy it back for $1. Repeat this a million times and we’ll both be rich! Sure we’ll owe taxes but imagine the benefit to the GDP!

I think there has been a 5% increase in the rate of wealth transfer from the dying middle class to the top 10%. Maybe that’s what the statistic means.

Next month, the revised figures will come out and we will see that things are not quite that rosy.
How many times has that scenario been replayed in the last 6 years?
