The Business Cycle Dating Committee of the National Bureau of Economic Research met yesterday by conference call. At its meeting, the committee determined that a trough in business activity occurred in the U.S. economy in June 2009. The trough marks the end of the recession that began in December 2007 and the beginning of an expansion. The recession lasted 18 months, which makes it the longest of any recession since World War II. Previously the longest postwar recessions were those of 1973-75 and 1981-82, both of which lasted 16 months.
In determining that a trough occurred in June 2009, the committee did not conclude that economic conditions since that month have been favorable or that the economy has returned to operating at normal capacity. Rather, the committee determined only that the recession ended and a recovery began in that month.
Well, if a recovery began in June 2009, why think about a recession 3 years later? No one should care. The media won't badger you over an anemic recovery. Democrats never had to produce the bragged about Stimulus bill "3.5 million jobs, and 90% in the private sector", or any other Jobs bills(Pelosi, Reid) reult, or the White House Economic Summit results, ect...
Just an observation....but he’s been in campaign mode ever since the fall of 2006 (for Iowa). I don’t think he’s out of campaign mode a single week since 2006. He still has only two skills....community organizer and campaign organizer.
I forgot about the Recession too...when it became Obama’s Depression.
What recession? When you’re jet setting off, hither & yon, for dinner & Her Hugenass is carrying her entourage, her mother & the presidential children to exotic locations (Spain, India, & on safari in Africa), I don’t imagine that pResident 0ne Per Cent ever even thinks about the niggling details (sniiiiif) his lowly subjects are dealing with. It might mess up his golf game.
(Yes, I am loathe to use that lefty term but frankly, I’d like to cram it down their throats till they gag on it)
He’z hangin w/the hipsters in The City tonight. Again. 5 “visit” in a year, +/-.
What's she doing there, anyhow, besides having a good old time on another vacation?
I thought salaried vice-presidents were supposed to do the foreign Olympics and state funerals gigs. What exactly does Veep Bite-Me do to earn his considerable yearly stipend plus benefits???
However, that aside, even HE wouldn't allow a Olympic giantess to pick him up and carry him around like a new bride for all the world to see. She's actually more embarassing than he would be, I suspect....and more expensive.
