I've been saying, everything is okay.

Vote For Obama.

The most recent data (Yesterday) from the reputable ECRI says otherwise:

ECRI Recession Watch: Growth Index Declines Further ("You Haven't Seen Anything Yet")

This article must have been written by graduates of the “Debbie Wasserman-Schultz College of Economics”.

The economy is fine! There is no recession! We have everything under control!...........

This interesting, too......

Baltic Dry Index Reaches 2011 High as Panamax Ship Rents Gain

...but, as usual, the devil is in the details.

I have never heard of returning striking workers being added to the employment numbers to fluff it. Is this something new?

[PowderMonkey]

LOL! I’ve seen people routinely eviscerated at staff meetings for using hollow and meaningless descriptors like “growing”, “HOT”, “fine” and “check” in their management briefings.

For a long time, I actually hoped the economy would improve in spite of Obama, but I guess we all know how that hope crap really works.

I’m guessing the economy will start turning around late next year when it becomes obvious we’ll have both houses and the presidency.

September? The stores are putting out their Christmas stuff, the Auto industry is coming out with new model cars, the 2011 models are being reduced. Surprise! Jobs and Car sales are up. Duuuuh.

The peeps espousing this stuff always seem to forget a little thing called “math,” don’t they? What will they say when the proverbial fecal matter hits the oscillating rotary device? It was “unexpected?” Silly rabbits.

Mail volume increased 3%. Changes of as little as .1% are SERIOUS ~

IMHO....there’s some truth to this. There are still Americans that can get by, make a buck and have a close enough to good life DESPITE the idiots in Washington that our economy is limping along. We are barely out of the last recession, but things are probably not going to crash and burn. That is NOT to say we are doing well, or that 4 more years of the big 0 won’t be enough to send us over the cliff. The best analogy I can come up with is from a Monty Python movie, where our economy is the guy yelling “I’m not quite dead yet”...and Barry is the son trying to toss us on the wagon.

Captain: "What's the bad news?"
First Mate: "We struck an iceberg."
Captain: "The good news?"
First Mate: "We're still afloat."

It’s not that there is a shortage of jobs, it’s more like there are too many people.

We need a program to reduce the number of people so that it matches the number of jobs. (/libtard think)

The calm before the storm.

A very big storm.
