It is like the movie where they are all waiting for the government ‘crop report’.

“unexpected”

I hate that word. By whose expectations are the results “unexpected” anyway?

I have a company that has survived for 25 years, profitably. However, for the last two I have been upside down, have laid off half my staff and have not taken a salary since January 1st.

The only saving grace is that I get to post another carry-back on my previous taxes.

What is sad is that she would be even offered a job at Berkeley. Fail miserably and muck up the largest economy in the world, but Berkeley opens it’s arms because she is one of the intelligentsia. It’s the thought that counts and the horrible people didn’t respond correctly to her stimulus.

I doubt that she will actually teach at Berkeley, it would be tough answering questions from students.

Dontcha know the condition of the economy is because of the mess the previous administration left?

Dontcha know that the Democrat party is made up of brilliant, really really smart, intelligent, intellectual, superior humans who know what’s best for all the livestock in flyover country?

Hmmmm? Dontcha know?

/sarcasm/

IMHO

Interesting article. Each evening the network national news shows do their utmost to put a positive spin on the depressing economic reports. Obama is not held accountable. Contrast these same network news organizations if Bush, or any republican, were president. Each evening there would be a 10 minute lead off segment of economic doom & gloom news. Not so with their boy Obama, it's all hopey-changey ‘the sun will come out tomorrow’ stuff.

Anyone run across a list of the “unexpected” headlines from the last 18 months? I tried searching google, but it’s a hard phrase to word correctly.

That would be a nice piece of info to share with my liberal buddies.

The likes of Romer wake up in the morning refreshed and excited about changing the Keynesian Kenyanesian multiplier in their faulty stimulus models from 1.3 to1.4

When month after month the “economic experts” fail in their predictions, the only reasonable conclusion is that they don’t know what they are talking about.

In other words.......;

You have been repeatedly lied to, misinformed about the actual condition of the economy and spoon fed information designed to manipulate your outlook of the MaObama Administration.

This way, they can still blame Bush for why they cannot “fix” this thing. They also make it sound like their Socialist methods are so superior, that some other force is defying and defeating them for no good reason. Surprising, Unexpected, Puzzling, has been the lead phrase every time they issue a report.

Unless that is, if the statistics appear to favor their agenda, then it comes out as “Exactly as we have planned!, CBO estimates PROVE that the bill (Worth over a Trillion Dollars.) will be “Deficit neutral”. (cute little buzz word.) Or, “My economic stimulus program HAS saved the economy from the “BRINK” of dire depression and destruction.” Or, that; “The economy will improve over the Summer months, and be back on track by this Fall. Unemployment numbers will also go down as we predicted.”

“Unless that sneaky evil Bush doesn't Unexpectedly Surprise us or ruin our plans again!”

Good post, great thread. Two can play the economic war game the progressives/totalitarians have foisted upon free people. Defund their economy.

“It’s the economy, stupid.”

After the 2010 & 2012 elections defund their collectives.

They're all surprised by how their theories fail in the real world because few of them have ever worked in the private economy, and they have no clue how government intrusion in the marketplace burdens the entrepreneur...

That's exactly the point I was going to make. All of these 'surprises' are proof of how idiotic and inexperienced these people are.

Obama and Carter need to become the poster children for why we should NEVER allow inexperienced people to run for pres_ent. They are just too dangerous and naive.
