Something fishy about the economy.
I live in the DC metro area and have family in Philly, Delaware, Baltimore, Cali, and Virginia. They are all seeing what I am seein g when I go shopping. Hardly any parking spaces at the malls, heavy traffic everywhere with jams and accidents, all the fast food places doing brisk business, good restaurants with waiting lines, people spending money everywhere. Home Depots with hardly any parking in the huge lots, Costcos and Sam's stores crowded. Road construction adding to traffic jams, lots of housing starts and lots of new autos on the road and a hell of a lot of SUVs. What's up with that? Is someone lying to us about the economy? The three people in my family who lost jobs two years ago are all employed making fairly good wages...one in a temp job, though. What am I missing?

Yes someone is lying to us about the economy, 0bama is and you goons are helping him. You are the same turds who said the economy was so bad when Bush was in office yet the worst day under Bush is still better than the best day under 0bama. You fools are in for such a big surprise when it all comes crashing down. You will still blame Bush though.

5. Not missing anything;
economy's been growing since President Obama took office, but at a slower pace than past recoveries, so many still looking for work. Fact is many old jobs in 'old' industries, certain types of manufacturing, no longer available here, so restructuring taking place.

6. Economy seems to be humming along nicely, indeed ....
Except when the GOP assholes start preaching gloom and doom, threatening to take the whole ball of wax with them as they demand absolute acquiescence to their extreme demands .....
They are determined to MAKE the economy dive if they don't get their way ....
Obama and the Dems should give them enough rope while also communicating to the American people how the republicans are going to screw up the economy, again, building up a natural public bias against them ..... Let them feel the heat and pay the price .....
So much delusion. :mental:

Let's see, lives in DC Metro area, govt. unemployment at 3.5%, every thing is fine. Moron.

Well, yes, something's fishy about the economy.
All that economic activity's taking place with borrowed money.
I noticed this some months ago.
During the lousy Bush economy, when people were using plastic, they were using it as ATM cards.
Now when they're using plastic, they're using it as credit cards.

The AXLETROLL® Industries paychecks must have cleared. Now they're trolling their own boards attempting to keep reality ( :panic: ) in check at the idiot cage. Notice how wink wink nudge nudge this pops up after the schadenfreud-e-licious NC Traveler thread. :wink: Speaking of checks; How much less were the troll checks this month? :rofl:

Frank, you are da' man. My sister is an accountant (currently the CFO for a real estate firm) She mentioned this offhandedly and it didn't stick, at the time. Thanks for the context!

Not to mention 7 of the richest 10 zip codes in the US are in and around the DC Metro area.
Come down to SWVA or southern WV where REAL people live and work, DUmmie, venture out of your sterile bubble into REAL America, the America Barry and you "progressives" are "fundamentally transforming" into a cesspool of it former self.
Come on out, DUmmie kelliekatnumbers, pull your head out of your ass and take a REAL look around at the REAL world.
We don't bite...
Hard.

yeah, it's booming alright. The local Walmart did not have a SINGLE round of ammunition yesterday, sold out and they don't know when/if they'll get more.

I've got to check mine. They're usually not as 'utilized' as other places.

Yeah. The economy is booming. Below is a graph showing my work (based on jobs requested/performed) from Bush's time in office until now. I had always thought that the "D" next to a congressional dems name meant democrat. It appears that I was wrong, and it actual means declining economy.
On the graph Republicans are shown in control of congress in 2001 and 2002. For some or maybe most of that period the Democrats did hold a 1 seat majority because of someone jumping ship.
The slight uptick in 2009 is sort of artificial. During that year, I got hooked up with a bank that was doing a lot of foreclosures due to the booming economy.

U.S. Needs Lower Deficits to Avoid Downgrade, Moody’s Says
By John Detrixhe - Jan 2, 2013 3:28 PM ET
The U.S. budget package passed by Congress won’t reduce deficits enough to avoid a sovereign- rating downgrade, according to Moody’s Investors Service.
Yep, economy humming along as the Obama-shit-continues-to-hit-the-fan. If only DUmmies listened to something other than PSNBC.
