Perhaps Americans are seeing a glimmer of light after 6 dark years.

I concur. The economy is NOT growing and is NOT creating any net jobs. In fact, we’ve been LOSING jobs every month since OZero took over. And it makes sense. Who creates jobs under communist rule except the government? Unfortunately for the Marxists in charge, they can’t hire people as fast as private industry can fire them.

We have been in a deep recession for six years.

“providing the strongest evidence to date that the recovery”

I wonder how many consecutive months of those five years could be said to have experienced (technically) “recovery”?

I suspect cooked books, ie counting bozoCare as ‘economic activity”.

JUST POSSIBLY people have spent a tiny bit more (those who will always spend every dime they take home) on things other than gasoline. So there is possibly a mirage of people shaking lose with more money to the economy. But other than that, I am not buying it.

You’re absolutely correct.

I have a business background - from an officer in a $400M corp to my own business - so I pay very close attention to the business “news”.

Slick Willie changed the definition of Unemployment and Comrade obamatollah is just flat out making up the “facts” while “printing” $5 TRILLION of new money.

I gotta think it all comes crashing down as soon as a GOP President is elected to make obamatollah more messianic.

Think 2008. What happened just before the election? An economic crisis. How convenient.

How Juan McCain handled it (basically, giving up) was proof the election was cooked and caused Sarah to go rogue in a valiant attempt to save America.

That GWB bailed out the crooks led to the communist dicktator we have at this moment.

I really, really hate “W” the traitor.

If true, it’s only because we’re having to replace items that have finally used up their last life after being repaired, nursed along and repaired again.
