    they use fuzzy math the same way they said the healthcare would be free.... 'bottomed out" isn't the same as 'stabalized',unless your'e a lib.

    That will be his response that the economy is improving when people shop on Black Friday and up til Christmas and put everything on their credit cards. Then everything will crash because people won't know how to pay for them.

    The FED just downgraded the economy, and housing sales are way way down, despite lower prices and lower interest rates

    Consumer spending is so depressed that even the tiniest blip seems like a mountain now

    the economy is collapsing

    NOt sure went to buy one of those 79 cent boxes of Little Debbie Ginger Bread men cookies and they wanted 9.99. People will have to use credit and wait for war when the unemployed go to get toys and get put at the back of the line for the ones that always come every year and load up. Course the government people run that.

    We didn't need to spend all that money Obama spent. The economy goes up and down all the time, like the climate, there are cycles. We always rally after a down cycle without spending trillions. He is a fool who is crushing us.

    Imagine $25 a loaf of bread and 10% unemployment.

    Thats QE2.

    Image the bond bubble collapsing and your currency being worthless.

    Thats currency collapse and that'll happen sometime next year.

    Hell, no.

    The economy is improving. Slowly and seemingly not enough for many Americans. But, it is improving. True improvement would be best seen by job creation, new investments, a booming housing market, and a lowing national debt. That has yet to happen. But, I am still hopeful that Obama might turn things around. On the other hand, with a new divided Congress coming in, I don't see much getting done.

    Yes, but slower than what was projected. I did all of my shopping before Black Friday.

  • 1 decade ago

    Yes, although much slower than everyone (including The President) would like.
