Sorry libs, but you had your chance to vote for Romney, who would have been infinitely better than Barry. But now he's a nobody.

Haha, he's a nobody with a horse and a cage for his dog that fits nicely on the top of his woody paneled station wagon.

Mitt Romney is the kind of Conservative that Liberals convince themselves they might actually vote for when the Democrats put up a candidate that is so far to the left of the mainstream that the rank and file might consider not voting for the Democrat until the rank and file see the (D) next to the candidates name and realize the guy with the ® is the next Hitler

Well, now that his political career is over, he's somebody when he says something that libs like.

Can you blame them? When the MSM tell them what to think, and they do, they are powerless.

I own stock in a bank that just paid out a $1 per share special dividend. The letter explaining why is dry and professional with some interesting phrases

 

limited opportunities to leverage this capital

 

tepid economic growth

 

relative scarcity of attractive acquisition opportunities

 

shareholders would appreciate the additional cash and dividend yield during a time when they are realizing weak returns from most of their investments

 

Pretty much says they are sitting on a pile of cash with nothing to invest in and the economy sucks.

 

Forward!

I guess we'll need another one of those “RECOVERY SUMMER” things!

 

Real gross domestic product — the output of goods and services produced by labor and property located in the United States — decreased at an annual rate of 1.0 percent in the first quarter according to the “second” estimate released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis.

 

 

 

 

Sure the GDP was down. But it was cold this winter. Very cold. And that's never happened before.

 

Everyone knows that when the GDP is down and it's a really cold winter, the stock market breaks records. Everybody knows that.

Look, it's clear we need more spending, more debt and much higher taxes. Otherwise this economy will simply stagnate forever. Why can't this do nothing Congress get on board!?

So long sad times

Go along bad times

We are rid of you at last

 

Howdy gay times

Cloudy gray times

You are now a thing of the past

Happy days are here again

 

The skies above are clear again

So let's sing a song of cheer again

Happy days are here again

 

Altogether shout it now

There's no one

Who can doubt it now

So let's tell the world about it now

 

Happy days are here again

Your cares and troubles are gone

There'll be no more from now on

From now on...

 

Happy days are here again

The skies above are clear again

So, Let's sing a song of cheer again

 

Happy days are here again!

Any positive news is good. However, the article fails to mention that the workforce has grown by millions since the recession so we are still a long way from getting back to the same workforce participation that we once had and some numbers suggest that gap is widening.

 

CNN, surprisingly, brings it home here.

 

Yet, this isn't the moment to break out the champagne. Given population growth over the last four years, the economy still needs more jobs to truly return to a healthy place. How many more? A whopping 7 million, calculates Heidi Shierholz, an economist with the Economic Policy Institute.

 

As of May, about 3.4 million Americans had been unemployed for six months or more, and 7.3 million were stuck in part-time jobs although they wanted to work full-time. Both these numbers are still elevated compared to historic norms, and are of concern to Federal Reserve officials, who will meet in two weeks to re-evaluate their stimulus policies.

 

Summer Recovery V 5.4 - Any moment now.

What the “Pre-Recession Peak” Job Numbers Really Mean

By Tim Cavanaugh

 

By now you’ve probably begun your weekend-long bender in celebration of the news that the U.S. economy has now created a level of “payroll employment” that is “back to pre-recession levels.”

 

I hate to kill the buzz, but this is the kind of good news where what you see is, literally, what you get: We are exactly back to the number of jobs that existed in early 2008. Unfortunately, the U.S. population, and the available labor force, have continued to grow, at a fast enough rate that the anemic level of job creation in the post-recession era still hasn’t been enough to keep pace. As a function of people who can and arguably should be working, job creation is still so weak that it will probably be at least four more years before the jobs recession can truly be called over.

 

“We’re probably still about seven million jobs below trend,” says George Washington University economics professor Tara Sinclair. “We’re just excited because we’ve been at fewer jobs than January 2008 for such a long time.”

Hey everyone! Good news! The reason the economy sucks is "crushing student loan debt!"

 

And do you know who needs to foot this bill?

 

Yep. Time to tax the millionaires again. :lol:

 

The WH goes full gatorman!

 

From your link:

The expansion of the student loan relief program would make it available to borrowers with older loans — those who got loans before October 2007 or stopped borrowing by October 2011.

It directs the Education Department to write rules implementing it, making it available by the end of 2015. Under the plan, borrowers in public service who make regular payments would see all outstanding debt forgiven after 10 years, while those in the private sector would see unpaid debt forgiven after 20 years.
