A V-Shaped Boom Is Coming
NRO ^ | 4/9/2010 | Larry Kudlow

Posted on 08/02/2011 2:07:52 PM PDT by goods

Sometimes you have to take out your political lenses and look at the actual statistics to get a true picture of the health of the American economy. Right now, those statistics are saying a... full-fledged, V-shaped, recovery boom between now and year-end. Conservatives shouldn’t trash it.

I’m aiming this thought especially at many of my conservative friends who seem to be trashing the improving economic outlook — largely, it would appear, to discredit the Obama administration. Don’t do it folks. It’s a mistake. The numbers are the numbers

You see guys? Larry was "smart" and "open-minded." He tried being "objective" so he made a stupid prediction while trashing us Conservatives who KNEW ALL ALONG that we are heading into hell with this Obama!

Now eat it, Larry.

Boom, boom, boom went the economy under the bombs of quantitative easing, federal over-regulation, and the federal government spending a staggering 25% of the GDP per year, and thinking that everything’s just dandy.

LOL....as Lincoln wisely advised,”Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.”

Unfortunately for Kudlow, there is no memory hole into which his past pronouncements can disappear without a trace.

Kudlow must have had lunch with Jack Cafferty because he's obviously drunk.

The boom is the sound of the economy imploding.

The DOW is up about 10% since this article was written?

That's not bad for a year...so I don't get how Kudlow was wrong.

That "boom" was just Michelle breaking wind after some greasy hamburgers and fries.

Don’t know what to make of it but it seems to contradict everything else out there.

So banks want to lend money again with no bailouts?

Obamacare is going to help the economy?

We solved our debt problem?

Larry will preach hosannas and recovery until the last dog dies. The last dog isn't dead but it's really, really sick. ‘Here, Boy’ falls on deaf ears.

I don;t see how the economy is going to turn around rapidly with unemployment up and consumer spending down. Am I missing something?

What will drive this so call boom?

Obamacare still looming, more and more jobs are moving overseas, the debt deal is very weak, energy prices continue to climb, more threats of regulation from the Feds, high unemployment, cities are going bankrupt, farmers are having difficulties with the heat, .....

The article is dated April 9, 2010. Forecasting is always a bit iffy. What does Larry think today?

In his defense, he was right about calling a market turn in the spring of 2009.

They’ll keep the balls in the air as long as possible, trying to keep things afloat, mostly trying to keep the gubmint checks going out.

They’ll probably keep sending them out even after banks refuse to honor them.
