The price for food is PLUMMETING! Energy costs are getting CHEAPER! Wages are UP! So many hours of overtime, TOO MANY TO TAKE! Health care costs are almost NOTHING now, and there are SO MANY jobs!
Do these operatives at Reuters even talk to each other anymore after reading their morning White House Fax talking point memos?
Here, this dweeb is foretelling 3.5% growth and last week, the other dweeb was forced to acknowledge a 0.5% minus growth in 1st quarter GDP for 2014.

They aren’t even policing their own lies any more. Just straight off-the-fax BS.
If the economy was growing and the democrats didn’t want to talk about it, than I would guess that the growth was a consequence of some part of the economy that the democrats had been trying to kill.

The Propaganda Ministry seems to be phoning it in, lately.
Here we go again, folks - straight from the 2012 playbook. “Don’t believe your lying eyes - the economy is improving”; soon to be followed by “Republicans want to impregnate women against their will and force them to bear children”, “Republicans will put black people back in chains”, “Republicans hate Hispanics and want them all deported”, and of course, “Republicans are white devils”....
the national media has gone all Orwellian, all the time
unbelievable
we used to feel appalled at the propaganda fed to the people in the USSR, Albania, East Germany and North Korea,
now I swear those countries have sent advisors to help obamas handlers manage the US media
now I think I’ll go read the latest obamacare puff piece in Forbes
Just because the MSM says its so doesn’t mean it’s the truth, especially if you look at the reported findings in context. The MSM has succeeded in becoming the most untrustworthy source for truthful and unbiased news. The truth is no longer in them; they’ve become the propaganda directorate of FedGov.
try -0.8%
Really? cut off unemployment benefits and see the actual rate. Many people on the benefits aren't looking for work and thus not counted.
I have 2 relatives laid off in the last month. One a 10 yr. employee. The other a 28 year.
Milk was $7 a gallon this week.
Rising U.S. economy could help Democrats stave off election loss

Wishful thinking.
And it's only that good because of massively increased spending on health care insurance caused by Obamacare.
They probably under reported so they can report a snap back right before the election. They are sending out the message early to their minions, “Don’t worry, when the time comes we will lie—again—big time. Get ready to jump back on the bandwagon and save our fellow commie RATS.”
This administration is never runs out of lies.
The author of this article is taunting us with his reckless drug use. His supplier must be the CIA.
Horse crap.
“Improving economy”?
If you look at the percentage of folks who’ve stopped looking cause there ain’t no jobs you understand this economy sucks,
Just more LIES from obammy and company
I see more economic activity where I am...... The Federal Reserve has been fast n furiously pumping money into it for five years. What do you expect?
This is another Federal Reserve bubble. Not a genuine organic healthy increase in economic activity
Whistling past the graveyard.
0.1% GDP.
Lowest labor force participation rate since 1978.
Record gas prices.
Record food stamps.
Record long term unemployment.
Yep. Improving economy.
If ifs and buts were candy and nuts, we’d all have a Merry Christmas (and the Democrats would avoid an election blowout in November).
In 1992 James Carville orchestrated a brilliant spin campaign about an improving economy to help Bill Clinton defeat George H.W. Bush. Through talking points and media spin an economic recovery was positioned as the worst economy since the Great Depression. George H.W. Bush’s team was unable to defend itself.
Fast forward to the 2012 election. For some reason Mitt Romney and his handlers failed to pound home the economic message in a truly abysmal economy. Now we are in 2014 with more working age Americans unemployed than at any time in our history, food, health care and energy costs skyrocketing under Democrat policies, low interest rates crushing the savings of the elderly, large numbers of Americans shifted from full time to insecure part time employment, and entire industries under assault by regulatory authors.
Where is the Republican drumbeat about the worst economy since the Great Depression? Silence. It is the perfect issue to resonate with millions of working Americans scared they will lose their jobs or they cannot make ends meet due to inflation. Instead of pouncing on the issue they are letting Obama control the economic issue through demands for an increase in the minimum wage as well as false claims his policies have created 9 million jobs.
A unified party, pounding the ruling party for its abysmal economic performance as well as the healthcare debacle should win in a walk. However, the Republican establishment has no message and seems determined to let the ruling party control the conversation. Unless the Republicans come up with a message and communications strategy 2014 will be another lost opportunity, like 2012.
