On Wednesday, everyone on Wall Street will be talking about the weather.

No, it’s not going to snow. But snow will be important to the discussion because Wednesday is when the Commerce Department will release its advanced look at the nation’s gross domestic product (GDP) for the first three months of 2014.

And the GDP is going to be awful. The only debate right now is about the degree of awfulness.

Ah yes! It was that GLOBAL WARMING winter that has now hindered our illustrious recovery promised by Der Fuhrer these past FIVE years. I see it! Yes! If only for that GLOBAL WARMING...... [the new Bush’s Fault meme]

So, if we only had global warming, the climate would be better?

As a matter of fact, I think this is a provable statement.

Coming up - Summer of Recovery part 5!

I may be misinterpreted by some into thinking I believe in glow-bull pseudo-scienced. It’s always interesting to see the lib’s latest excuse. I do believe that the cold winter did hurt the economy. Therefore, a warmer winter (and perhaps warmer summer) would therefore help it, not?

So, let there be warming. We can have fun by placing giant magnifying glasses over congress and watch them explode like ants when the little sleezy insects wander out of their offices.

So, it turns out that global warming would make things better?

[Jeff Chandler]

Well of course the weather is to blame. We’ve never had weather before.

[Obadiah]

Wait, I thought it was evil ATM machines that were the cause of our national economic woes. Whaaa?

If the economy was strong & growing,, you know that POS Øbama would be taking credit,, regardless of the weather...

Actually they have this all wrong. The bad economy has caused a terrible winter./s

On Wednesday, everyone on Wall Street will be talking about the weather.

You of course mean the Blizzard of Bull Sheite that will be coming out as another bureaucratic pronouncement.

[BitWielder1]

If the winter was warmer than normal they would blame that too.
The bad economy is not caused by White Snow, it's caused by the White House.

If we raised taxes on the weather there would be an economic boom!

Pray America wakes up

[grania]

I’m wondering if the brutal winter didn’t also create a lot of jobs and extra income...keeping roads maintained, fuel deliveries, home and business weather damage, local restaurants,....

[I want the USA back]

So they’re willing to acknowledge the brutal cold when it suits their needs!
