U.S. manufacturing unexpectedly contracted in November, falling to its lowest in over three years in a sign the sector may be struggling to gain traction, according to an industry report released on Monday.

So conveniently left out of news cycle prior to election, even though it did tally ALL of November!

Obama is a sham, yet many of the same idiots that voted for him returned him for a second round of raping America.

Buy some Pepsi. They quit using that cockamamie Semtyx where aborted baby kidney cell cultures were supposed to be able to tell them, sans taste test, how good their colas were. Reward them for seeing the light.

At least this showed up while the tax debates between the House and the Rats are still raging.

Specially a tax increase focused on little businesses! Hey get with the programs, get those misers off their dimes!

These Rats have the cheek of a girl who murdered her parents then went begging for mercy as an orphan.

‘May’ be struggling?? As if we’re not really sure...could be other factors involved...could be Paul Ryan...

“Why, a great big fat TAX INCREASE, that’s what!!!!”

Hey, if the Democrats can supply that, and the Republicans can supply a World Free Trade Agreement so that labor costs are comparable in the US, Uganda and Uruguay, we will be sitting pretty.
