2016: Presidential candidates, both announced and prospective, used Labor Day to fire off some pretty harsh criticisms of President Obama's economy. That's not news. What is news is who was doing the firing.

Not going to give IBD a hit to find out
Haha that’s exactly my position as well.
Saw you post that, and just had to strongly agree.
:D
Not going there, either. Will just imagine it was Al gore.
It’s Shrillary Clinton bashing the Obama economy.
I hit it; the Three Amigos
Bernie, Hitlery and Slow Joe. All over the Labor Day weekend at different times in stump speeches.
“Every single one of those scathing attacks came from Labor Day remarks by Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders and Vice President Joe Biden.”

I thought IBD was one of the good guys. What did they do?
How the hell can someone write this and still say we are in any kind of "recovery," even an anemic one? The real growth rate subtracting the real inflation rate would likely demonstrate a continuing contraction.
IBD is a lot more rational and pro free market than WSJ is.
IBD doesn’t post enough to give the gist of their article, but the real rub is that they find time to post, but if you search under their many articles on FR, I cannot recall a single time that they responded.
They should better support their threads.
It's easy, folks write it all the time.
--and that's not what you meant. You're asking how our cr@ppy economy can be considered to be 'recovering' and the answer is in definition. Most folks earning a living in the econ biz say that a growing economy is in 'expansion' as opposed to one that's 'contracting. From what I'm able to gather a 'recovery' is the part of the expansion that comes before the new highs. We're definitely not as bad off as we were in '09 and not at serious all time highs, so we're definitely in a recovery.
imho we'll be recovering for a long long time until gov't econ policies get changed big time.
