Media outlets work overtime to spin bad economic data
Fox News ^ | May 30 2014 | (Fox News)

There is no room for negative news on the economy right now.

From either side. We need many more American jobs.

Not that I am defending the silence from both sides.

Our system is currently broken however.

Nobody is saying a single word, about the very real problems.

No democrats. No Republicans.

Nobody. America needs much more people, to speak up and to address the very real problems out there.

Bring back US jobs.

When was the last time the economy shrank while the stock market was making new all-time highs? Anyone remember?

When was the last time the media used the phrase

“Recovery for Wall $treet but not Main Street”

The system is not broken, we the people are. “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” John Adams.

Just heard Carney is leaving. I’ll bet he’s tickled to death to get his @$$ outta there. Lying for Soetoro all of the time can get old, fast. Besides, will you ever explain it to the grandkids?

They outright ignore the economy of this country. Remember all the congressional witch hunts under Bush when gas prices skyrocketed? Now the price of everything is skyrocketing and no one wants to talk about it.

Pathetic

The stock market is totally disconnected from national economic reality ever since the Fed started pumping $85 billion per month into T-Bills and stock market Mortgage Backed Securities when Obama began his reign back in 2009.

5 years at over $1T/ year pumped into a phony legitimization of the national debt and the stock market.

They’ve recently reduced that to only $75B per month, but it’s still enough to keep the Stock Exchange humming.

Economy and stock market are now separate entities in my book, have been for 5 years.
