The article mentions the increase in suicide rates as reported in the New York times as posted in the previous article.

There is another article here on FR that basically says that China is about to experience a bubble pop.
With the US economy slowing down this will not help China at all.
People are basically buying necessities to live and forgoing nonessential items.

I hear they have just the thing to fix this. Obamacare AND legalizing millions of lawbreakers. WHAT could possibly go wrong?

It could have been a LOT worse, we could have a Mormon in the White House!

And you don’t hear anybody bragging about that now.

Nothing but crickets.

Financial gimmickry has never led to prosperity. Obama has borrowed and spent over 46trillion dollars squandering huge mounts of capital. Bernacke has printed trillions more in greenbacks. Neither action has created real wealth and is hollowing out the economy. Real economic growth has been stalled or actually reversed by Obama’s bizarre left wing ideologues at EPA, Dept. of Energy and throughout the federal bureaucracy. Endless rules, regulations, and fees have hindered entrepreneurship, business and capitalism which creates the real wealth necessary for social justice. Obama and Bernacke will go down in history as the worst men ever to hold high public office. It will take more than a generation to recover from the harm these two men are doing.

If this were a Republican Administration the misery index would be on every news cast and on the front pages.

Spending money from the income taxes of citizens who won't be born (if at all) for 30 years is about to have unintended consequences.

Maybe it's wise that the government is buying up all the ammunition.

I voted for what’s his name? Oh yeah, RomneyCare.

What geniuses of product marketing Republicans were. Take the primary differentiation you can kill the other guy with (0bamaCare) and promote your only guy who can’t use it as a cudgel.

Idiots.

Last night I read an article about a college kid living in his van. It was so optimistic.

Wow, if Bush was president the kid would’ve been deprived of a life or something.

Here's the bottom line.

Most liberals will hold their noses on presidential election day and vote Democrat, even though their favorite Democrat was not nominated. Republicans are less likely to do so.

This implies that Republicans are more principled. It also implies that, combined with media bias and open immigration, it will be difficult for a Republican to win a national election ever again.

The ONLY reason why the “official” GDP isn’t negative is all of the deficit spending. GDP is actually negative if you take away the monitization that is going on right now by the Fed.

Hey, everybody, calm down.

Benghazi(”by ANY means”) Barry will be ok...I’m sure he’ll eventually collect Social Security payments on ALL 20-some-odd Social Security numbers he’s (allegedly) using.

He’ll be o.k.

The REST of us need to run out and buy Ramen noodles by the truckload, though.

I want to say that if this was a Republican administration things would not be so bad on the misery index, but alas, it has been a very long time since we have had a fiscal conservative anywhere near the White House, or seen real fiscal conservatism implemented from either party. The Dems are just running us off the cliff faster.
