I wonder if they're going to be able to place the blame for 12 percent unemployment in July and August on the blizzards we had in Jan-Feb?
Silly me, I know they'll TRY...but question is if they'll get enough idiots to believe it.

Obama needs to be impeached. Quickly.

The consumer doesn’t have access to easy re-fi money that powered so much of the economy for the last 20 years or so. That source is gone, gone, gone, gone for as long as people are underwater and shedding second homes, keeping prices depressed. End of story.

It doesn’t take a genius to see where this country has gotten to
and how it was taken there.

Good point. Yet our dear leaders seem deaf and dumb to economics and economic reality.

No rebate check from the gov't as under President Bush; no big tax refunds; no reduction in military spending as promised; huge deficits larger than ever before in history; and what does all this mean? C'mon Zero, lay it on us!

What I’d like to see is unemployment figures in the Private Sector alone. My observation is the only people doing well are people employed in government or municipalities.

Right...the socialists in the government and unions have declared war on the private sector - come hell or highwater. That is a SHAME, as this is the United States of America...economic civil war in America.

"Fourth-quarter GDP growth came largely from a slower pace of inventory liquidation, not from an increase in consumer spending."That doesn't make sense. How can a slower pace of inventory liquidation increase GDP? And if consumer spending didn't increase GDP, then who spent? Government?

Consumer confidence fell to a 27-year low. That would be the tail-end of the Carter administration. The stage is set for history to repeat itself, in spades.
