lol. Someone should start a drinking game. Every time an economic headline includes the word “unexpectedly.” But where will we find the money for all that booze? And the liver transplant to follow?

This “unexpected” stuff happens a lot lately. Almost like clockwork.

“Economists worry that factories will remain under pressure because of weak consumer spending as American households deal with continued layoffs and rising unemployment.”

Talk about stupid...the lack of available credit for operations, forcing layoffs in small business is killing us.

Period.

They actually found a way to kill the recovery. Tax cuts were so obviously needed. Instead they are spending trillions and creating enormous tax burdens.

Bernanke actually said yesterday unemployment is NOT coming down. They have built 10% unemployment into the economy.

Bush had the lowest unemployment in decades for most of his term.

“Unexpectedly”? Do these people live in the real world?

Hmmm, let's see...

Perhaps consumers and businesses are seeing and fearing the actual effects of...

- - Minimum wage increase (real consequences of)

- - Cap and Tax (fear of)

- - Healthcare mandates (fear of)

- - Observing government takeovers of everything within reach

- - Sensing a palpable hostility toward American business, producers, initiative, risk

- - And observing a perverse love of obscene debt and unmasked zeal to yoke generations of Americans to debtor status

- - And sensing a dark, and unmentionable application of the Chicago...er, uh..."family" way of persuasion, and worried that it will spread.

and...- -

A disbelief at the administration's horrific ignorance of just where money comes from (it's a Keynes thing)

"...and you aint seen nuthin yet..."

Yes and the job losses were “more than expected for Sept” also, in fact they were higher than in Aug, unexpectedly of course.
