Yup. Numbers from the government that’s proven itself a liar. We need 6% growth every quarter to put a dent in unemployment. I wonder if Occupy Wall Street has them cooking the books out of fear?

Do you got to a sporting event and cheer for a tie? That’s what we have here. Yay! We didn’t get worse this time!

I’m glad it’s supposedly going in the right direction, but to say happy times are here is disingenuous. I’ll believe it when unemployment drops and my neighbors are back in the their homes, back to work, and off food stamps.

There have been such “economic progrress” announements for the past several decades. So, GDP is growing.

The most pertinent question is, who benefits from the economic growth? If every time there is a growth in the food supply (trough) it does not bode well for all the critters if the hogs continually keep the little guys from said trough.

In the 80′s, greed was looked upon as good. Now it’s a god.

Economic growth for the past quarter was at 2.5. That’s up from 1.3 the previous quarter. Not a huge jump, but an improvement nonetheless.

LOL, I wasn’t going to nitpick. I guess the recovery hasn’t made it to Ohio yet. All we are hearing about is 30,000 lay-offs at Bank of America, furloughs at Honda Marysville due to not enough parts coming from Japan after the Fukushima nuclear disaster, and the possibility of Cincinnati and Toledo declaring bankruptcy.

This ‘tearful’ photo of Boehner is not related to this article per se, but he has a rep of having such episodes. / : |

Wut da f**k…! This guy is the “Speaker of the House” of the United States of America and a crybaby to boot…!? This to me is a sign of a guy that has been hitting the sauce too much and only the gods know what else to reduce him to such a ‘sappy’ less than focused condition.

I try to visualize the Persians confronting Leonidas at Thermopylae in 480 b.c and he breaking down with tears due to the formidable task at hand; I.E., to defend the Greek nation states against the invader. This wimpy, a*sclown seemingly is what America has degenerated to in the face of enemies at our gate; I.E., terminally greedy banking grifters who’s mission is to virtually suck this nation dry while these scumbag crimpols in the House and Senate facilitate their unholy mission, all for a few dollars, euros or shekels more of campaign contributions.

John Boehner is a bottom-feeding parasite. Thanks Ohio along with his braindead, district constituents that allows such a mattoid to hold such high office. They seemingly love the ‘pork scraps’ he pitches them at halftime while their cities, state and nation rots, consequences be damned…! : |

>>“I thought we were a nation of laws and that our country was governed by our Constitution,” Boehner said.<<

I said stuff like this all the time during the Bush Administration, Mr. Boehner, and folks like you would respond with "The Constitution is not a suicide pact".

To which I would reply, "Ignoring it would be". To which you would subsequently say, "You're unpatriotic!"

Maybe they’ll get to the 150K or so workers needed just to employ the population increase.

The good economic news will be when I go to a store and start to see country of origin USA.
