The rest of the article is interesting in how they cooked the books using unrealistic inflation numbers.... To do this Government corruption at the highest levels...

If people keep electing nobama, LIBs, DIMs and such assorted Destroyers , they deserve what this article portends. Wake up, people.

Jackwagon's 'Winning the Future' economic policy continues to shove our economy off the cliff.

2011 GDP: A 'final, pathetic' 1.7 percent increase from 2010

C'mon, 1.7%? Even Jimmy Carter did better than that...

That stimulus and investment in green tech is really paying off. All hail Obama.

Can't wait to hear the excuses -- oil spills, volcanoes, earthquakes, headwinds, etc...

The real GDP increase is more than likely, negative.

Countdown until Zer0 leaves Office: 355 days as of January 31, 2012.

In which country is inflation that low? Certainly not in America. Absolutely not in the last four months of 2011.

I seem to remember reading somewhere a few days ago, that the measured inflation figures do not include food prices and gas prices. I remember being shocked to read that, and thought, if that's true, no wonder they are reporting such low inflation figures.

Does any anyone here know if that's true or not?

Yes it is true. They were removed due to their volatility some time ago.

When will Americans reach the satuation point for being betrayed, exploited, insulted and criminally defrauded?

And Mittens tells us, Of course the economy is getting better.

I missed buying the lifesaving ianything. Any reviews would be helpful! Seriously, good reinforcement on erroneous trust in government to tell the truth. The Apple comment made me laugh.

This is very bad news for people that think we can grow our way out of debt. Add to this the EU cratering and the news is downright terrible for anyone hoping for growth, oh one other thing China economy is slowing too. Meanwhile another 1.2 trillion in debt is added to our books. The slow motion train wreck continues.

[silverleaf]

absolutely so

and by this institutionalized deception,what terrible damage the press is contributing to destroying the shreds of trust people may still have in their government

and all to prop up the white liberals’ dream president, an embarrassing failure in every aspect

[ryan71]

Uhhhh, when all their TV’s are confiscated?

When will Americans reach the satuation point for being betrayed, exploited, insulted and criminally defrauded?

Who cares? There is football, hockey, basketball, and championship wrestling on TV. (/sarc)

[jpsb]

It is true, core inflation, the figures used by media does not include food or energy.

[silverleaf]

It CAN’T be counting gas which has gone up about .50 in the past few weeks

AAA predicts gas is headed ot $4 a gallon by late spring

and the first shots have yet to be fired in the Strait of Hormuz

[silverleaf]

oh, that is why the GOP establishment hysterically insists we need a businessman (Willard) for our next President

Herbert Hoover was a businessman

True. It's sort of like how people who have given up hope of finding a job aren't unemployed any more.
