Unemployment checks are ‘stimulus’.

So getting your foot run over by a car is better that being shot in the head. Thanks for working that out for us NPR. I just as soon not have either of those things happen.

Spinning that this economy is anything near healthy is first rate MSM water carrying for the Regime. Kudos NPR.

I’m slightly surprised. Normally NPR is in favor of negative growth. Except for NPR’s funding stream, of course.

"So when is lackluster economic growth a good thing?"

P.J. Is having trouble with Liberal Economics.

Its very simple. You must always subject your Economic indicators to the R/D Formula.

For instance if Unemployment is at 4.5% and the President is an "R" then "its the worst Economy in "X" number of years (Wherein "X" = the number of years that have passed since the end of the Great Depression.)

However if Unemployment is at say 8.3% but the President is a "D" then the Outlook for growth is on the Upswing and the President Saved or created "X" number of jobs by being so damn awesome. (Wherein "X" = whatever number the liberal talking heads pull out of their ass.)

You can plug this formula into any of the economic indicators like GDP or the Price of Gas or Milk. It doesn't matter, it all works out for the best.

Yes, and please forward the Fed’s outlook, and it ain’t moderate;
http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/fed-economy-growing-moderately-policy-16211490?page=2#.T5r3fVLDs0Q

“However, the Fed is forecasting slower growth in 2013 and 2014.”

According to Rush the original headline read “Is a slow economy good.”etc. They changed it because they realized how stupid that sounded.

Bad is Good.

Anything really bad is still Bush's fault.

Well, moderate growth is good -- when the market is setting interest rates, we are near full-employment, and the Fed isn't flooding the country with fiat money.

NPR just left those parts out.
