It's like living in an Orwell novel where what your eyes see is the opposite of what you are told by the media/govt.

We probably need a new term for this combined talk of the media and government, something like MEDIGOV.

When the government takes all the money, adds regulation and taxes to stifle business,adds costs to essentials like energy, it isn’t about *demand*. It is about lack of discretionary income.

Perhaps the government could destroy the middle class a little more. That should get the economy rolling.

The liberals treat economics like they do global warming. They can’t figure out how it works.

But the U.S. doesn't appear to be able to boost global demand much

No $hit, Sherlock. This is what happens when you send all our high paying jobs to Red China and other Third world pits. The few cents an hour the Chinese get paid in their factory gulags can't stimulate global demand so the whole thing is going to grind to halt.

Free Traitors have ruined this country and the world, it seems. There will be retribution.

data is flat = 0 slope

If the slope is 0 it can’t get any flatter

The term I prefer is plateaued. The Economy has plateaued.

Or...... it has mesa ed.
the mesa is flat and just goes on forever

…the government must take action to boost demand by redistributing wealth."

It gets more blatant with every passing week -- they are coming for our IRAs and 401k accounts. After they steal your life savings, you'll be eating dog food in retirement and waiting for four months to see a nurse practitioner, but the gibsmedat crowd will have brand new Nikes, Obamafones, Section 8, full EBT cards, and all the meth they need. We'd "redistributed" $21 TRILLION and everything is worse than it ever has been.

Median income is down. Petrochemicals are up. Staples for the table are up. Yes electronic devices are cheaper but you can’t eat them or warm your house with them. Obamacare will remove even more discretionary income from the marketplace as will ever increasing taxes. It’s called a death spiral.

sort of believe this story of an economics recovery going on around the world," Roger Nightingale, strategist at RDN Associates, told CNBC. "This economics recovery hasn't occurred

This is not true. There are MANY countries around the world experiencing large growth. S. Korea for example is going gangbusters. China and India still doing well. Brazil also.

Obama has been making sure this happens. He's slowing the US down and doing whatever he can to get other countries to compete effectively against us.

How can the working stiff create a demand for anything when they’re more concerned about paying their Taxes at all levels.

Not too forget the disaster known as obamacare.

Good Gosh ......No Employment + Lengthened Unemployment Benefits = NO CONSUMERS the math isn’t that damn hard !

Unemployment Benefits do NOT create Jobs they create dependency Dependency creates the lack of WANT and more creation of NEED if your right minded you want to feed clothe and house your kids before you want a new car or Ipad like i said the Math is not that hard !
