[The Magical Mischief Tour]

But isn’t the economy growing again – by an estimated 2.5 to 2.9 percent this year? Yes, but that’s even less than peanuts. The deeper the economic hole, the faster the growth needed to get back on track. By this point we’d expect growth of 4 to 6 percent. In 1934, emerging from the deepest hole of the Great Depression, the economy grew 7.7 percent. The next year it grew over 8 percent. In 1936 it grew a whopping 14.1 percent.

Add to these data two other ominous signs:

How many recoveries have started with increasing oil prices, increasing food prices, increasing commodity prices, and a downturn in housing?

Anyone have those numbers?

Eventually, even the MSM will have to admit that Obama is destroying this economy. Or not.

Any Animal House fans out there? You will immediately recognize the photo! Of course I changed it a little.....hehehe

Robert Reich, the little Clintonista pipsqueak? Doesn’t sound too happy with the current way of things. Hmm... wonder if he and Hillary have something up their sleeves.

[Paraclete]

We haven’t experienced the real pain from the economic collapse. That will be brought by inflation and we’re getting some strong “whiffs” right now.

His analysis comes up a little short.

So this means we will have 2 recessions in 4 years under Barack Obama’s watch with trillions more added to the debt and a massive new entitlement to fund.

If Barack Obama was a white Republican instead of a black Democrat, the liberal media would have already declared this presidency over.

I was never a fan of Bush, but Barack Obama is exponentially worse than Bush on every level, but hey, so long as Barack Obama has the votes, confidence and propaganda of the liberal media, all is rosy and Barack Obama is still the Messiah saving us from destruction, even if he is the cause of that destruction.

At least there is some good news embedded in this message: Robert Reich said it - so probably the opposite will happen...

[The_Reader_David]

Oh, sure, months and months of “recovery” and the next down-turn will be a “double-dip” so they can claim its part of the “Bush Recession”. Rubbish. I will be the Obama Recession (or Obama Depression).

[RC one]

they can’t pass a balanced budget. They can not pay the interest on the debt without creating more debt; thus, the republic is insolvent. Nothing good can come of that.

[Hoodat]

Why aren’t Americans being told the truth about the economy?

Because Democrats are in power.

[skeeter]

Reich has the unenviable job of badmouthing the economy without indicting the liberal policies that brought us here.

But I'm sure Hillary will compensate him fairly.

[mwilli20]

Lat time he told us the “truth” about something it did not go down very well...

If you aren’t a major player in the financial industry, you better find a way to double your income, just to break even, and that won’t last.

[JerseyHighlander]

This is akin to Napoleon ruminating on Elba while plotting his return to power.

Robert Reich is such a character.

...more like a super slide than a double dip.
