Well, there ya’ go—I read the column. Did you?
Yes, I did. And this exchange is rapidly becoming a waste of time.
I agree, because it is becoming apparent that you didn’t.
Please yourself.
What’s that supposed to mean? Do you want to discuss how you think the economy is “picking up” according to this column, or not? Your choice. No more knee-jerk reactions to the headline, please.
This is what stood out to me from this article. Even the "good" news is simply that things were worse a month ago.
Careful. You don’t want to be accused of supporting Hillary. ;)
If the population of the U.S. is 330 million, and there are only 140 million employeed, then there are 190 million Americans who are not employed. On top of that in the past year over 5 million Americans died! In fact, every six seconds an American dies and you're not doing anything about it!!!!
Meanwhile economic optimism hs increased on higher wages.

That's why I like to look at longer term trends before I say some econ measure is particularly up or down. This wage controversy is a case in point.
Our grocery prices are up, our co=pays for meds are up, property taxes just went up, NO COLA raise to off set them.
And I get to shop the Navy Base Commissary where the prices are equal or higher than Kroger’s which gives me gas points. Hey, some of their gift cards are 4 times the gas points for the next 2 weeks! I’ll get gas for 89 cents a gal for up to 35 gals as I’ve reached the $1 off mark. It will help cover the cost of all those trips to the Doctors offices I have to make this month for 3 and 6 month required visits.
New Fed laws now make me see my IDIOT PCP, who now thinks she’s an Endocrinologist every 3 months all because of 1 script—Valium that controls my Fibromyalgia.
Charts go up, charts go down.
Macy’s dumped Trump, will close 100 more stores.
This is 14% of their remaining total, after closing 40 stores earlier this year. Kills jobs for 8 to 10,000 more workers.

Ok, Wall Street is smart enough to play Hillary, but not smart enough to play Donald. Because Trump.

Wall street is dumb enough to ruin the country by playing Hillary Clinton, but not dumb enough to try and play Donald Trump. Because Clinton.
Quod erat demonstrandum.
Go back to the GOPe and tell them. They have NO chance.They just blew 300 mil on Trump trying to stop him in the primaries. Put in another 500 mil to 1 billion to stop Trump during this election cycle.They still won’t stop Trump, neither can Hillary or Wall Street. Its too late now.
I love it when people like Graham try to hoodwink the now non gullible.
15 & under are children and aren’t counted. duh
Two shakes of the lambs tail ? I specified donkey, LOL.
So that is a metaphor on a metaphor, and even higher form of innuendo.
Do not expect much from the two shakes of a donkey’s tail, except loud braying and a few diarrhetic turds.
Ya think? LOL
Pure swill, no doubt about it.
That's what my mother used to say ...... I was surprised but two shakes of the donkey's tail also seems valid. Going by the internet.
*Insert Diana’s Standard Economic Screed Here*

Even *I* am bored with myself these days, LOL!
63, with record, employed with the best Engineering Job I have ever had, heh heh..June 1, 2016
Economic growth in Arizona accelerated last year, with faster job and population gains. Employment increased 2.6% for the state outpacing last year’s 2.0% rate. Population growth rose modestly from 1.3% to 1.4% last year, while personal income gains decelerated slightly from 4.7% to 4.6%, according to preliminary estimates. The Phoenix and Tucson metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs) posted better growth last year across most indicators, as well.Early returns for 2016 suggest even stronger gains this year, with employment increasing faster than the national rate for the state, Phoenix MSA, and Tucson MSA. I’m sorry for you, honestly you live near Detroit.
