I know where much of this BS comes from when people try to say the economy is fine, and attack anyone else who trys to present them with the facts. All these posts seem to be quite a bit like what Limbaugh says on his show "Oh the Democrats want to make the economy look bad" or "Oh the sky is not falling". As much as I respect Limbaugh intelligence on govrenmnet, politics, human nature and society, he knows very little about economics.

I think we can all see that the economy is not the greatest right now, however, some people seem to think they know better than us....that's what I don't like.

I also think people have had it pretty good for so many years that a little hardship freaks them out. Decisions we as individuals AND the go'ment make affect us all....and for a long period of time. And have you noticed, when we are in the middle of an up cycle, some cannot see that eventually, a down cycle is going to happen....no matter what....

You are right on the money.....
The people posting on here bad-mouthing this article and talking about how wonderful the economy is are the same type of talking heads you see on ALL the financial channels/......
Rukeyser. Cavuto,Kudlow, Tom McManus (emphasis on the Anus, where his head is located) of Bank of America, these guys are ALWAYS wrong about their predictions on the "bull market" of their wet-dreams, and we keep listening to them.......in these guys world there is always going to be a second-half recovery....in 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003.....hehehe :)
The market will always rise 20-30% this year....2000, 2001, 2002, 2003.......
In these guys world a GDP that is being artificially inflated by absolutely OUT OF CONTROL Federal spending and debt-ridden Consumer spending is a good thing....
So let these pie-in the sky optimists blather on...'cause there're always wrong.....John.
