Difficult economic times ahead, CBO warns (Hey Obama, how's that "Summer Of Recovery" coming?)
MSNBC ^ | 8/19/2010 | Reuters

The U.S. economy faces even more difficult times ahead with chronic high unemployment rates and slow manufacturing growth hurting the recovery, Congressional Budget Office Director Douglas Elmendorf said on Thursday.

The U.S. unemployment rate will not fall to around 5.0 percent until 2014, Elmendorf wrote in his blog about CBO's new economic and budget outlook.

Without significant changes in U.S. tax and spending laws, the U.S. government will struggle to dig its way out of a fiscal deficit hole, the CBO said, and this may influence the outcome of the November 2 midterm congressional elections.

Hey Obama, how's that "Summer Of Recovery" coming?

This is the same CBO that supported TARP and
Sharia-payments and claimed that ObamaCARE would save
America trillions of dollars.

CBO = Certified, now-documented liars, screwing America
for Obama, the DNC, Islam and al Qaeda.

Tell the CBO your fired.

You're not using the word "your" in proper context.

“The U.S. unemployment rate will not fall to around 5.0 percent until 2014,...”

***

None of the economic indicators will improve until we have a change in administration to one that knows a thing or two about economics and has the cajones to implement what is needed to turn our economy around.

Hey, don’t worry! Obama has a nifty plan! He is going to tax the FED 50 cents on every worthless dollar they print and use the money to pay down the deficit!

Isn’t that clever?

"Summer of ice cream".

The Obama administration's massive stimulus spending and the Fed's near zero interest rates have had little impact. They disdain independence and seem to be trying to destroy the American work ethic replacing it with their insane dream of an entitlement mentality. And so, we're in deep, deep economic trouble.

Employment is an impediment to any good Democrat's objectives!!

A profitable business owner takes risks to hire people and start new ventures or the other way to fire everyone and retire if the circumstances are too frustrating to want to produce.

Batten down the hatches! Taxes a plenty next year.

Obama, the king and master of nothing, kills America financially and when the economy realizes some growth again, those waiting to get rehired as managers and engineers start to find they have to work two jobs as cashiers and janitors.

These liberals are going to friggin' sing and dance along, all the way, as they dance off a cliff.

WAKE UP AMERICA!

The CBO, lauded as non-partisan and therefore without bias of any sort, showed their colors on ObamaCare.

This latest pronoucement only confirmed that the Top-Up/Bottom-Down lens is being applied to all things g'mental.

Multiple by "O" and then add the needed answer (so that the dim-0-crats maintain power).
