Sorry Libs - Still NO Recession

[red states rule]

This must put a frown on the faces of libs everywhere - the GDP grew in the second quarter

Once again, NO RECESSION


US GDP Expands 1.9% in Second Quarter


The U.S. Commerce Department said the nation’s economy grew at a tepid 1.9% annual rate in the second quarter of the year, primarily boosted by the $160 billion in stimulus checks sent out to consumers in May and June.

That figure, however, was below Wall Street economist expectations of a growth rate of 2.3%, according to data provided by Thomson Reuters.

The first quarter 2008 and fourth quarter 2007 gross domestic product growth rates were revised downward however, the Commerce Department said.

Fourth quarter GDP was revised to a negative 0.2% annual rate, while first quarter GDP was revised to a 0.9% annual rate.

GDP is the broadest indicator of a nation’s economy as total sum of all goods and services sold in a select period of time. It is also used by economists as the official gauge of when an economy enters or exists a recession.

Most of the libs I have seen have been telling the folks the US has been in a recession for over a year. This news is very disappointing for them

Good news for America (like no recession) is bad news for libs and the Dem party

OK, but I'm talking about the libs you have seen. You told me that this news is very disappointing to liberals everywhere - I'm a liberal. I want to know why I should be disappointed.

It takes the air out of your elected Dems talking points

It is bad news for the liberal media to report

So unless Dem change the definition of what a recession is, the news is contray to what the MSM and the Dems have been telling the folks

The economy is a far cry from armageddon and shanty towns as Dems and the liberla media have told you about

because it makes you look dumb when you argue a recession.

Guess they'll have to go back to telling us that we lost the war in Iraq....
That the US Military is 'broken'...whatever the fuck that means....
Economy is in a shambles....
Everyone is out of work (despite 4.5% to 5.2% unemployment)
and in the next breath, "illegals are good for the country"

I suggest you be careful with investments.....the more Obama is thought be the next President, the more the DOW will fall....put your bucks in cash now....in your pillow case at home...
at least you'll have the money to pay for coming reparations, for you know what....

Well the numbers are not making me any happier as I still have no work and most all in construction are sitting around looking for work. That is recession to me. If you are not hurting financially then you are part of the problem.

So if we know how to manage our finances, and are doing well in a growing economy, that is a bad thing?

Do you realize how idiotic this post is?

It is more than knowing how to manage it is having the money to manage.

Maybe if you stopped whining so much, and spent more time finding a way to earn some money - you would be better off

I would think one of the first things one needs to do when trying to ear some money, is at least learn how to SPELL it!


How much YOU earnin' these days, there RSR? My guess is that my two pensions PLUS my salary whoops the shit out of YOUR take home!

Shit...my guess is, my wife brings home more than you do on her own!

So know you know how much I earn? Good for you

Maybe since you have so much you will send a check to April and show that liberal compassion we hear so much about

Or do you believe in showing liberal compassion with OPM (other people's money)

Bully for you. Your wife doesn't earn much, huh? Otherwise I doubt you'd be using her to dis RSR, for a post that has zip to do with you or your wife. Interestingly enough you'll probably claim that someone was dissing her, when it was you that brought her up.
