What’s wrong with you.....you forgot the part of the economy that is booming.....the war on terra.
Contracts from Dept. of Defense
(FY 2006)
Total dollars: $294,904,727,357

What? the GDP? please.
bat man
My suggestions to fix the non-broken, robust economy:
vote republican.
Cut taxes.
Start a war with Iran.
Increase defense spending.
Make Fox News the only channel available.
Bail out more banks.
Devalue the dollar.
What would you do?
Raise taxes?
Decrease defense spending?
Ban Fox News?
Let banks fail? Who will buy the sub prime if we don’t let our government buy the crap?
Strengthen the dollar by raising interest rates?
Privatize profit......socialize losses.
What is so wrong about that?
What is great is the fed TAF program doesn’t fall under the freedom of information act so they don’t have to tell us what trash they are hiding, or who they are buying it from, with the new TLSF swaps. Isn’t that cool.

Mark D has a really twisted view of conservatives.
If he was reality based, he wouldn’t believe what he does.

What? the GDP? please.
Isn’t that how we measure the economy. We haven’t seen it shrink yet despite the challenges we obviously are facing.

????? from 4.9 to .6
If that isn’t “shrinkage”.....
Real gross domestic product—the output of goods and services produced by labor and property
located in the United States—increased at an annual rate of 0.6 percent in the fourth quarter of 2007,
according to preliminary estimates released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis. In the third quarter,
real GDP increased 4.9 percent.

Laughing my butt off, Growth=shrinkage!
Besides it’s better to measure GDP over the year and compare that with other developed countries. How did the US compare with Europe, Canada and Japan?
The Whistler - 09:03am on 03/12/2008
well when it goes from 3.8 to 4.9 then down to .6
I call that weakening economy.
Again, how about you name the areas that are strong.

Typical liberal attempt at rhetorical sleight of hand, trying to confuse a reduction in the rate of economic growth with an overall reduction in GDP.
What’s most interesting is that while no serious conservatives are saying that our economy is in great shape… despite claims to the contrary by leftwing dolts… there is no one on the Left who has yet to offer any sort of serious analysis or policy suggestions for improving our economic condition.
The Democrats are all in lockstep favor of raising taxes, increasing economic regulation, and decreasing our trade with other countries. Yet none of the liberals can defend any of these policies in economic terms, or explain how any of what they propose will reinvigorate our economic growth. Those on the left apparently have nothing more to offer than platitudes and sarcasm.

Ag and energy for two, although I think that the government is meddling to the benefit of those industries and hurting the rest.
I mention those two because they are two of the larger industries in North Dakota.
The Whistler - 09:03am on 03/12/2008
OH, but I think those industries would still be growing due to increased world wide affluence.

Unfortunately you still don’t realize that it is the tax cuts, the unfunded increase in defense spending for wars and a cowboy that thinks he is ruler of the world along with a fed that thinks they can drive our currency into the ground, that has caused our economy to decline.
We must raise revenue.
Cut spending.
Relieve the fed of their duty.
Can the republicans do this?
Can the democrats do this?
No matter what party takes control in Nov. the economy is on a downward path due to years of uncontrolled spending, cheap credit and consumer debt levels never seen before.
Republicans can’t raise taxes, due to their religion, so how will they raise revenue when corporations are downsizing. Cut taxes?
Can republicans cut spending? Before or after we attack Iran. Does defense spending count?
Will they stop the fed and hurt the corporations that rely on cheap credit?
We know democrats will raise taxes. We know they will cut defense spending. Do they have the guts to stop the fed and stop the deterioration of our dollar?
Crude rallies to approach $110 as the dollar fall
Futures on the rise although data show surprise rally in U.S. inventories
go figure....I thought it was a supply and demand thingy
