"Forecasters are notorious for missing major turning points in the economy."

Only those employed by the NY DNC Times and other Dinosaur Media outlets

Dubya needs to push another tax cut. Not because we really need it, but just to piss the liberals off.

But according to the NY Times, the economy hasn't been good under Bush. I guess they will revise that meme only if the economy actually starts to stagnate. Then they will tell us the economy was good, but faltered under Bush's leadership even though they've never admitted it was good.

"U.S. Growth may hinge on Businesses"

Kinda makes you want to say, "as opposed to...?" doesn't it?

Not since the early to mid-1990's has the wage loss been so broad.

How did this slip in?

And acroos town, the Wall Street Journal says:

from the article....

"...to help sustain the robust expansion of the last 30 months."

AHA! Gotcha, the commie creeps.

The NYT has NEVER reported the Bush economy as a "ROBUST EXPANSION".

[PMCarey]

Show some respect here. The NY Times has predicted 5 of the last 2 recessions.

[KC_Conspirator]

The New York Times is so inept. The real estate boom is a crutch? What the hell are they smoking? Its like saying that our economy hinges on Michigan or the auto industry, yet both are in shambles. The point is that the American economy is bigger than selling houses.

But I don't expect them to get it or any of the great economic news like the 5% unemployment rate. I expect an article by Paul Krugman calling for the elimination of the Bush tax cuts.

The economy depends upon businesses? I always thought it was the government that brought us all this wealth.

U.S. Growth may hinge on Businesses

In other news, how far the Bears go in the post season may hinge on how many playoff games they win.

[zerosix]

Poor MSM, it has taken them all of this time to come to the correct conclusion that the U.S. economy depends on how businesses do rather than government programs.

[No Longer Free State]

How stupid is this headline? U.S. Growth May Hinge on Businesses

I suppose the NYTwits think growth 'hinges' on governemnt spending or electing democrats?

Nevermind. Just answered my own question.

If the NY Slimes says 2006 is going to be a bad year for the economy, then the exact opposite will happen.

[jmaroneps37]

Memo to all slimes employees: Starting Jan. 2, 2006 all employees will wear tweed caps and sing "Brother can you spare a dime?" while working. This will be to insure a proper and acceptable frame of mind as you churn out the daily doom and gloom.

It's as if the writers at the NYT get up in the morning saying to themselves..."Ok, what can I write to distort reality today?".

The problem that economic naysayers have is that PRODUCTIVITY is what is driving the GDP, and the marriage of technology and the economy is just beginning.

[DustyMoment]

What's sad about this is that the NYT is so brain dead they think this is philosophically deep when it's really the first hour of lecture in Economics 101.

From this link:

Earlier this month, the New York Times Co., which also publishes the Boston Globe and International Herald Tribune, said it would not issue 2006 forecasts for earnings, revenue growth, or expense growth due to a tough advertising environment.

Snort. Yup, I'd really trust their business reporting.
