Economy Grows Faster Than Predicted

[xxxxxJohnGaltxxxxx]

We revised our early estimates upward ever-so-slightly

Real gross domestic product -- the output of goods and services produced by labor and property
located in the United States -- increased at an annual rate of 4.1 percent in the fourth quarter of 2003,
according to preliminary estimates released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis. In the third quarter,
real GDP increased 8.2 percent.

Good news for us ultra-right wing neocons in the midwest.

Economy 'on track to good year'

• ''The economy is on track to having a good year,'' said Mark Zandi, chief economist at Economy.com. ''If history is any guide, we should see better job growth in the spring and summer.''
  
  Doh!

Good for America. Hopefully it will stay the course!

...predicting 4-5% growth in 2004; perhaps Dave will find work.

Now if the jobs return, and companies start hiring and paying long over due raises, we can all be happy. But as it stands, it just looks like the ones who could afford to invest in the market are the ones who come out on top. That isn't mainstreet america.

Remove the deficit that is out of control and restore confidence by real means, and the leopard will change its spots.

"Mainstreet America" is overrated. Don't blame those who have on the ills that plague the have-nots. Get off your f*cking @$$ and work for what you want in life--the "there just aren't any jobs out there" nonsense makes me sick...

Over 50% of Americans have some interest in the stock market whether it's ESOP's, 401K's, pensions, mutual funds or direct investments. A rising stock market is good, in a direct way, for the majority of Americans and many more benefit indirectly. Any argument to the contrary is nothing more thatn the usual class warfare drivel brought to you by our "friends" on the left.

I wish the wealthiest 1% would fire everyone that works for them and shut their businesses down completely...and say f*ck you "mainsteet America" for all your whining about how they achieve at the expense of the "working class." There?s a bunch of ?working-class? people outside my office window right now standing on the street corner doing nothing?probably bitching about how they can?t find a job in-between sips on their brown paper bagged beverage.

I don't think anyone is against a strong Stock Market, just the idea that only a strong Stock Market is good. It is very likely that the majority of that 50% could not live off their investments alone, they still need decent paying jobs.

1. Perhaps they're waiting for a bus. Or doing other things people do on the street corner. Selling drugs?

2. Close your blinds?

3. Get a better office.

Right now I cant live on my investments, but ask me again in 20 years. I am sure many people will have a similary answer.

I have a job, Mr. I work for the employment office for the state I live in. I am an employment councilor and I have a very specific interest in this topic, it's my career. And If you had talked to me the way you just did to my face, you would be picking your teeth up off the ground seeking them from swollen, blackend eyes. :|

What's your interest in this converstation, little man? This was between Galt and me. You chime in for what reason? You his butt buddy or something? You chastise me for spelling? And you write "councling"?

I can assure you, little man, I have no worry of losing my job.

Goodness what an intolerant liberal you are. Threatening violence, homosexual slurs.

The mispelling was intentional. I'm still wondering if yours was. I'd be damn sure to spell my title correctly. Perhaps a bit of spittle flying off your mouth caused a keystroke slip as you ran through your fantasies of pummelling posters?

No where was there a threat, little man. And you were never threatened. And as for homosexual slurs, I just asked a question that I must now,with my level of "intolerence" assume you are sensative to. If it offends you so, then maybe the shoe fits.

Now none of this has anything to do with the topic, and you were never invited to the party. If you have any more problems, take it up with the mods. I'm sure they can arbitrate this discussion just fine. My response was in defense of language used by Galt, and dealt with in like terms to him. You have nothing to do with it.

So go troll somewhere else little man. You really bore me.

 

[alchemize]

OK Big Man, I'll go away. I hate to bore you. Have fun at your job monday!

There's a funny line in the Movie The Crying Game:
"Have you ever had to pick up your teeth with broken fingers?" I lol'ed at that one.

Funny exchange guys, but seriously since you work where the Unemployed come to, what are you seeing? Is there no unemployed people as the AT experts claim? Is the Economy Booming, Soaring and Sizzling as they claim?
