Mark my words, after the Pukes take control in January, the economy magically improves

[DainBramaged]

Corporations start hiring, durable goods orders they have been putting off while they horde cash get placed, you just watch.


Tin foil hat, you betcha!


:tinfoilhat:

On edit, and it could be bolstered by the MSM finally reporting good news that they refused to report to support the GOP smackdown.

[nadinbrzezinski]

1. It is already improving

the October numbers look good.

[no_hypocrisy]

2. You mean like the way the Iranian Hostages were released before Reagan finished taking The Oath of

Office in January, 1981?

[EOTE]

11. That was totally coincidental. NT

[progressivejazz]

3. I agree totally. nm

[Love Bug]

4. Actually, the REPORTS on the economy will show improvement

while those of us left in the wake still deal with the consequences of bad/no regulation.

But I like your scenario better, because people would benefit.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

5. That is actually an excellent prediction. But...

...to do that and be maximally effective, they'll have to actually put money in the hands of poor people. Can they do that without spontaneously combusting?

[Parker CA]

6. Won't be a bit surprised. nt

[Skidmore]

7. I've been saying for the past year that the Rs were colluding with big bidness and Wall Street

to extort the American people.

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

8. If that were true then the voters would have done the right thing

But it will not happen. The economy will not improve under the pugs.

[Tansy_Gold]

14. Even if it did, it would be a short term bubble

All the money that has been hoarded would go out in the form of wages to be spent on consumer good produced in other economies. That money never comes back into the economy, and then the jobs dry up.

They might be able to boost employment for two years, leading into the 2012 presidential election, but they couldn't hold it longer than that without resorting to wheel barrow quality inflation.

9. No, they're going for the "big picture"

Two more years of a shitty economy, coupled with partisan gridlock will result (they hope) in a Repuke victory in 2012.

Then the miraculous resurrection will happen in January 2013. Assuming the planet survives the Mayan Apocalypse on December 21, 2012. And if a repuke is elected President in 2012, billions will be praying the Mayans were right.

[meegbear]

10. You can take the hat off ...

I can't find the source, but I recall reading how a lot of the financial groups that got bailed out helped finance these negative ads. The money'll start flowing soon.

[Warpy]

12. Only in the very short term

because there is no way companies who lack customers for their goods are going to put twelve million people back to work.

It's just not going to happen, although there might be a short lived uptick.

[democrat_patriot]

13. Ding, ding, ding!!! We have a winner.

Even if it doesn't, the repugs will get as much time as they need.

I have yet to hear ONE WORD about their big plans for jobs.

Repeal everything, no Afghan drawdown & investigations. How do these help with jobs again?

[Democat]

15. Good - it will prove that Obama did the right thing for the last two years!

If the economy is good in two years, Obama will get re-elected. It's as simple as that.

[DainBramaged]

16. Your lips to my God's ears.....

[laughingliberal]

17. Possible. Bernanke is dumping 1/2 trillion dollars out. But no real help for real people.

Consumer prices expected to rise a minimum of 20% and it creates no jobs. Gas up today on the news. Groceries, clothes, everything up 20% within 6 months.

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

18. Aside from Glen Beck, who is saying that?

How is the Fed buying 600 billion of US treasuries going to increase the CPI an annualized 40%?

What percentage of the US monetary base do you suppose 600 billion is?

This shit is just sad. Pure RW econo-gibberish metastasizing in a Democratic/progressive community.

[HughMoran]

22. :o)

:thumbsup:

[laughingliberal]

23. Yeah, I don't listen to Beck so have no idea what he says. I read it in several articles last...

night and, on the way in this morning, Mr Laughing Liberal was telling me that Mellody Hobson on ABC was saying the same thing this morning when he watched.

[malaise]

19. But but but the economy has

been improving but M$Greedia decided not to cover that.

[Egnever]

20. I got a tinfoil hat too!

I think the corporations have been hording all that cash to help pukes win this election. I think they will now start to let that cash flow again in order to make it look like the pukes spurred hiring.

21. You're not the one that predicted the Dow would go up 500 points after election day

are you?

:D

Just teasin.


You know the R's will try to take credit for any recovery that Obama already had in place when they were elected.

[zeemike]

24. You are right but it all hinges on tax cuts for the rich.

After all they want to make their self fulfilling prophesies come true....tax breaks for the rich creates jobs....trickel down works....you know the line.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

25. Capital strike. nt

[sally cat]

26. Let's hope so, for everyone's sake, plus President Obama will get the credit.

[Davis_X_Machina]

27. The good thing is, if it happens --

-- and color me unconvinced that we'll see much beyond status quo -- that the poli-sci community is pretty united on the consequences.

Presidents get blamed, and given credit, for the state of the economy, whether or not they did anything to affect it.
Congress receives neither credit nor blame, even when they do things that do directly affect it.

[bushisanidiot]

28. The President will get credit (and rightfully so!) for any improvement in the economy.

I, too, believe that large corporations, and rich republicans in general, have been putting off spending money in order to keep the economy from being stimulated. But, that plan can't last much longer. Sooner or later, republicans will have to buy new cars, houses, boats, washers, dryers, refrigerators, etc.. the economy is bound to bounce back, as it actually already IS, and President Obama will get the credit. Just like President Clinton received all the credit for the surplus of the 90's.

Boehner is actually in a very bad position. He will be exposed for trying to slow down economic recovery that's already been put in motion by the democrats and the president.


Watch. It WILL happen!

[patrice]

29. Long enough to take a few more Corp-orthodox theocrat worshippers of the Golden-Calf on board, then

nada . . .

[ikri]

30. Or

The republicans will do the same to the US as the Conservatives are doing in the UK - using the economy as cover for massive cuts in everything they can get their hands on (except the military).

If it can be outsourced (preferably to their friends and donors) it will be outsourced.

The economy will appear to be doing better as the stock market rises, mainly in response to the profits they'll be creaming from the public purse. You'll probably not notice though, unless you have serious amounts of cash invested in the stock market you don't really count. You'll be glad to have a job and too tired from overwork to complain.
