1. Wait until the 8th straight month of job losses comes out next week.

Sorry, I gauge America by how well the little guy is doing, not by how well people who make multiple lotteries each year and call it "overall compensation" are doing. And none of us are living very extravagantly. Far from it.

2. Don't believe it. It just started. Shit has not hit the fan yet.

3. Stimulus Checks and Farm Exports

The number is real. It's from the govt borrowing billions of dollars and giving Americans a stimulus check.

Also, because we have rampant inflation and a weak dollar, our farm exports are really cheap to other nations. So, that pumped the GDP up, but it's bad for us because we have to pay higher prices for food.

4. Not in MY house. I think most Americans would agree that there own

personal economic situation is not improving.

5. They've been doing all they can. The Bush Admin is doing a Carter when he was against Reagan.

He'll lose. He's trying to get as many things done before the end of his Presidency to end on a high note. But nothing will go through until after his Presidency which means Obama takes center stage for all those changes. <---As Obama rightfully should because he's been pushing those views for the last several months...2 years he's been around.

6. Since the GDP number...

... is adjusted by the inflation number, which is a TOTAL FABRICATION having nothing to do with price inflation experienced by everyone, the GDP number is also total baloney.

We are already in a technical recession and have been for months. The liars in Washington are pulling out ALL THE STOPS to keep this problem hidden until after november.

That is the WHOLE GAME at the present time.

7. No, it's a yard sale

We all have extra cash in our pockets when we clear out the house and sell our junk on the street. Essentially, US manufacturing has been sucked up by foreign countries because it has been so cheap.
