The Onion has nothing on AP.
Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

Same here in L.A. Mostly scams. Another AP Obama-kiss ass propaganda...
The problem with the stock market is that its value is expressed in terms of ever-inflated fiat currency. I think the future of the US is bleak because the takers now outnumber the makers.
The DOW may go to $50k, but it will be meaningless if gas goes to $15.
How many are ‘part-time’ positions?
Ding! Ding! Ding!
We have a winner...
We will not hit bottom for a year are two after the governments stops trying to produce an economy based fake housing values, that are over, over, over price and each day the gap gets bigger for the average person to be able to afford one.
“Factories are busier.”
Yes, but there are fewer of them.
“Autos are selling.”
Because they are government subsidized.
“Incomes are rising.”
And so are prices.

The stock market is being driven by the fact that it has been under valued since 2009 the wake of the stock market panic, and bottom line earnings numbers have improved.
The problem is that bottom line earnings numbers in themselves are not good indicators of economic growth. Big companies became profitable during 2009 by getting out of debt, and by laying off younger and less productive workers in order to cut costs. But the top line, (gross income) has not improved much, which means that the the size of the economy has not increased.
Furthermore, the number of people trying to enter the work force outnumber the number of jobs being created.
“Incomes are rising.”
And so are prices.”
And the dollar is falling example, the Wifes family is in the Philippines and the dollar is at 44 Pesos down from over 50.
We are a small manufacturer in California and we are working our tails off. We have more clients/customers now than ever. There was a dry spell where we were worried but now its a deluge of work.
We wish we could hire some help but don’t dare because of the government enforced obligations on employers. Its like signing adoption papers when you hire someone. Its way too much commitment.
So we are grateful to have the work, but we are working way too hard.
A lot of people completely got out of the stock market
Yep, I am even suspicious the width of the toilet paper has suffered to claim the same number of sheets
Yes, 4th quarter is busier for most factories, but just wait for 1st and 2nd quarter...
We don’t need no ‘lection in 2012. Obammy is so in that casting ballots is a waste of time/paper!
i don't know where the money is coming from, but... i can't drive a mile or two in any direction without seeing new roofs, new siding, new rooms/additions, new garages, new homes, etc.
it's been this way for the past five or six years, with no sign of let up
and i live in the boondocks
Is this a joke?
