Laker_Girl's 'Booming' economy

[Tyrant]

Dollar poised for a dip

2 Major Homebuilders See Orders Dive

Investors regroup as swaps panic hits

Weak Economic Numbers Trip Up Stock Market

Shopping giants add to US gloom

Productivity slows to a standstill

Wal-Mart sees Nov same-store sales flat

Manufacturing sputters as housing slump spreads

The Dollar's Full-System Meltdown

The Plunge Protection Team is back

United Stated National Debt
Don't let the Clinton graph fool you. He flattened the borrowing line by dipping into the Social Security funds and spending those instead.

GAO Chief Warns Economic Disaster Looms

Walker doesn't want, or need, your vote this November. He already has a job as head of the Government Accountability Office, an investigative arm of Congress that audits and evaluates the performance of the federal government.

Basically, that makes Walker the nation's accountant-in-chief. And the accountant-in-chief's professional opinion is that the American public needs to tell Washington it's time to steer the nation off the path to financial ruin.

Pure Liberal trash, messenger. The economy is thriving. How do we know this? My grandparents own the Chuck E. Cheese I spend my time in. The basement has been refurbished and I live here. Your housing scare tactics are thus disproven by my logic. Business is good too.

Why don't you get out of your computer chair and work for a living instead of begging for handouts day in and outside? If you work hard enough you will be rich.

Would you stop confusing the fucking issues with facts? Give the Republicans the chance to argue their postions with something other than outright denial for once.

Let's see, your sources are as follows:

Asia Times
Houston Chronicle (notoriously LIBERAL)
The Austrialian News
blackenterprise.com (You can't be serious)
BusinessGaurdian UK
Yahoo News, where if you'd read the article it states that sales in other goods were up.
Yahoo News siting that Wal-Mart only made a paultry 25.71 BILLION dollars on stores open ONE YEAR or LESS this year...Oh yes the economy is in terrible shape.
InformationCleaningHouse (who? what?)
And finally
Telegraph UK

Yes, no one knows the U.S. economy better than foriegn news sites.

As for the National Debt? Seriously, read John Stossel's book Give Me A Break. Rub those two brains cells together and give it a go.

So I'll tell you again Corky and I'll make it super simple for you to understand.

Um, my mommy and daddy own a business and they make their own stuff and then we sell it to people for money and we have made lots and lots of money over the last six years.

BOOMING!

^You do know that sometimes it's the person on the outside looking in that has the best perspective on a situation, right?

 

[Laker_Girl]

Now if you'll excuse me I have to get back to WORK. It's what people that aren't sucking off the government teat do.

I also know that that theory does not apply to all situations.

Can't argue with that.

 

[Sarek]

Yes, and the same could be said for your family business. Just because it is doing well, doesn't mean that the economy and everyone else is.

 

[Sarek]

Now if you'll excuse me I have to get back to WORK. It's what people that aren't sucking off the government teat do.

You don't want to go there. Because that will result in me pointing out how much the Republicans didn't accomplish in the last few sessions and how big and fat the pay checks were for it.

It'll make you look like a ridiculous little princess who's out of touch with the real world. And you wouldn’t want that. Trust me.

This is such a pathetic tactic.

The USA is utterly dependant upon the global economy. It cannot survive without cheap Chinese imports and foreign oil. Why? Short-sightedness. Do you think the USA is able to police the entire world on its own steam?

Who gives a fuck about your parent's business besides anyone competely devoid of wordly knowledge (Just look at her signature, for Chrissake), such as yourself? Know what I see around me? Recession, higher cost of living, and working-class Americans (Of course we know it's their fault they're working class, right?) having less money to enjoy the finer things in life than ever.

As for the National Debt? Seriously, read John Stossel's book Give Me A Break. Rub those two brains cells together and give it a go.

Was the link I provided, full of graphs, numbers, esoteric alchemical symbols such as '%' , too complex for you, or did it not reflect the wishful thinking such emotional cheerleaders display?

Your parents make 'stuff' ? Unless they're selling the Philosopher's Stone, or a necessity like food or water, don't expect them to continue making much money if the working-class clients they sell it to opt not to purchase the 'stuff' they make.

It is being sold to working-class citizens, right?

 

[bad dog]

The socialist have taken over the house and senate. so everything is going to be fine. the leftyloons can stop playing the "America sucks" card now.

 

[Sarek]

^No, I wanna try and get a few more miles out of it yet.

 

[bad dog]

LOL , have it your way.

 

[Tyrant]

I don't think they'll fix it either. It's far easier to continue importing cheap Chinese shit and having Mexicans do the manual labor, and letting the businesses that reap the profits from this continue to [STRIKE]bribe[/STRIKE] lobby the lawmakers than to try and change things.

One thing the Democrats will be helping Bush with is his immigration policy.

Heartwarming.

Oh and that's right, none of the fatcat Democrats sitting in the House and Senate collected a dime. My, my, my how does Teddy Kennedy keep his Stoli cabinet socked?

You assume too much. It's easier to believe that I'm sitting perched atop a pedestal and have no idea about the "real world" going on below me but think again. I work every single day, sick or well and have since I was 17 years old. I've not always had the pleasure of working for my parents and have indeed worked outside the incorrectly presumed comfort of their thriving business. It's quite amusing to me that because I don't share your idea of some eutopian society I'm a priviledged little princess that's never had to worry about money. It couldn't be at all possible that I don't have money worries because I've worked hard, saved and been responsible. And for some reason you think my parents had their lives handed to them on a silver platter. No, no it's called HARD WORK, it's not easy and thanks to people like you there are those that will never do an honest days work in their lives.

Wake up, the real world will be waiting for you when you do.

One problem there, it was a Republican Senate and Republican Congress. That means that the majority were Republicans. And that's the way it will be written and remembered in the history books.

I assume nothing. I'm proceeding from the impression youve created for yourself here.

And thanks to people like you, there are people all over this country that are finding themselves broke and homeless while a free spending government entity rapes them of their hard earned money.

This is such a pathetic tactic.

Such a pathetic response to such a thorough smack down.

The USA is utterly dependant upon the global economy. It cannot survive without cheap Chinese imports and foreign oil. Why? Short-sightedness. Do you think the USA is able to police the entire world on its own steam?

Foreign oil is the dems problem. We have plenty of oil right here but God forbid we kill off some species no one has ever seen or ever will see. It's called a wasteland for a reason, much like the space inside your skull.

We've done a hell of a job policing the whole world so far but I agree, more allies would be nice.

Who gives a fuck about your parent's business besides anyone competely devoid of wordly knowledge (Just look at her signature, for Chrissake), such as yourself?

Uh, it's businesses like my parents' business that help keep the economy going, oh "wordly" one.

You do realize how incredibly, incredibly unintelligent and uninfomred that mild little rant was. Small business built this country and continues to carry it square on it's back.

Regardless of how insignificant you believe the product we've designed, manufacture and sell is, it makes money and we pay taxes.

Know what I see around me? Recession, higher cost of living, and working-class Americans (Of course we know it's their fault they're working class, right?) having less money to enjoy the finer things in life than ever.

Sounds like a local problem to me. The country is not in a recession and the stock market hit an all time high yesterday. You might want to address your county and/or state government with those problems.

And here's a hint, if you want the "finer things in life" that requires an advanced education. I'm not exactly sure when blue collar America decided they should live like white collar America and not have to work for it.

Was the link I provided, full of graphs, numbers, esoteric alchemical symbols such as '%' , too complex for you, or did it not reflect the wishful thinking such emotional cheerleaders display?

Your links were fine, I read and comprehended each one perfectly. I don't know if when you click on them they become a forecast for the total and complete distruction of the U.S. economy buuuuut that wasn't what I read.

Your parents make 'stuff' ? Unless they're selling the Philosopher's Stone, or a necessity like food or water, don't expect them to continue making much money if the working-class clients they sell it to opt not to purchase the 'stuff' they make.

My parents have owned and operated their business for 35 years more years than I've been alive. Some years were slimmer than others but neither they nor I have ever had to go without...and here is why...

It is being sold to working-class, right?

My father is a smart enough man to know running a restaurant is an enormous gamble, there are millions of restaurants, there's not a snowball's chance in hell that you're going to be any better than the rest. So my father didn't open a restaurant what he did was design a totally unique, functional, and attractive LUXURY ITEM and as long as it caught on, he knew he'd have nothing to worry about. So to answer your question, no, it is highly unlikely that the "working class" buys the items we sell, it would be about as common as the "working class" buying a Mercedes Benz.

Capitalism, it's a good thing.

One problem there, it was a Republican Senate and Republican Congress. That means that the majority were Republicans. And that's the way it will be written and remembered in the history books.

And before that it was Democrats. No one is going hungry, drivng a beater, or living in sqwaler on Capital Hill so your condemnation holds no water.

I assume nothing. I'm proceeding from the impression youve created for yourself here.

You assume I am who I am based on what you read on a messege board. That speaks volumes about you.

And thanks to people like you, there are people all over this country that are finding themselves broke and homeless while a free spending government entity rapes them of their hard earned money.

Get a better education or work more than one job. No one is above it. Learn how to save, change your life and don't expect handouts. there are ways to keep from becoming destitute and anyone finding themselves, homeless and broke isn't working hard enough to prevent it.

But I'm sure you're of the mindset that everyone deserves a hand out. Hard work is hard and no one should have to do it if they don't want to.

Where there's a will there's a way.
