The first thing I did after reading this story was to do a Google seach on the term: "Economic Depression"

GMTA.

[silverleaf]

me too! LOL!

[VicVega]

Just did the same. LOL.

I think that’s called “grasping at straws” Mr Summers!

What a stretch . . . what a morooon!

[cranked]

[Pedrobud]

Sounds like logic to me looking at the number of hits on Google. And these people are supposed to be smart. Maybe they just lack common sense !!

[NoobRep]

I’d like to see the stats on the search term “Obama Communist”

[gusopol3]

I wonder if he’s measured the large increase in Google searches for “Jack Ass” since he took office.

[A_Former_Democrat]

Just when you think this bunch can’t get any more laughable . . .

[avacado]

LOL!!! The best thing about that Politico article is that it’s the first time I haven’t seen a bunch of liberals making comments in the comments section. Even they can’t defend that moronic BS.

[Jeffrey_D.]

Now another clown at Examiner.com is saying “it might” not be crazy?

We’re surrounded!!!

[sinanju]

I had to check this out as it sounded like it was from The Onion.

No joke. Larry Summers actually said that.

Because fewer people are googling the phrase “economic depression” that means prosperity is just around the corner.

Will you all join me in a rousing stanza of “Happy Days are here Again”? Anyone?

The number of people searching for the term “economic depression” on Google is down to normal levels,

What about the number of people searching on the term "anti-American"

[Oldexpat]

Googled..econonic depression, depression, revolution, assasination, martyr, victory, liberty.

Hint: SCHOOL’S OUT FOR THE SUMMER

[TheCipher]

The number of people searching for the term “economic depression” on Google is down to normal levels,

Maybe that is because the people out of work can't afford internet access anymore, thus lowering the number of Google searches.

[adgirl]

We'll know it's really over when people are googling the term “what to do with extra money.”

How about the term “can we recall president of the united states.”

[cranked]

I will participate....as soon as Barry and his posse of moronic and idiotic goons are removed from office.

For the last year or so on FR I have concentrated on posting articles about shipping: dry bulk, containers, oil, and rail. The reason is that those are true indicators of the economy and international trade, not some Oprah level economic straw grasping. Pay some attention to the unreal slight of hand of Wall Street and Washington, but focus like a laser on the real world that can’t be fudged.
