Real GDP must mean the real inflation rate was considered instead of the government bovine excrement CPI. Right?

I understand copper futures are a reliable leading indicator, and it looks like they are weakening rapidly. How long can they keep the stock market inflated like a hot air balloon?

Get the socialist ideologue out of the White House, and give people reason to feel confident about reaping the benefits of their efforts, and the economy will turn around incredibly quickly. I very much believe this.

It is NOT merely economic!

Spot on. I believe it was Newt, who when asked when the economy would begin to turn around, said the evening of November 6th, 2012, when people realize Obama and his policies have been defeated.

Unfortunately not by the mainstream media. So it gets hidden in plain sight. The electorate will not know.

I AGREE WITH THAT

Jackwagon's backward economic policy continues to shove our economy off the cliff.

2011 GDP: A 'final, pathetic' 1.7 percent inrease over 2010

Sales-5

Countdown until Jackwagon leaves Office: 352 days as of February 3, 2012.

I really don’t need the CBO to tell me that this economy is terrible. I can’t imagine that anybody else does either.

As top bond trader Bill Gross put it, “We are seeing the end of prosperity, and the borning of austerity”.

Financial expert Mohamed El-Erian put it, the economi is “Terrifying”.

Meanwhile, President Trainwreck does not sponsor a budger, golfs, and pits American against American.
