lol food stamps are up 17% since last year. With a whopping 44 million on them. Employed is way down. With about 56% working vs 60%.

I am sure these numbers will be revised, they always are after hype dies down

However, spending your money is good way they are devaluing it day by day, rather than simple interest or if you don't care for risk of investments. Nothing more I hate than cash in my bank account. I can literally feel it evaporating being there.

The crux

The Commerce Department said retail sales in October were up 1.2 percent from September, a jump from economists’ predictions of 0.7 percent. The October sales were also 7.3 percent higher compared with October last year. The seasonally adjusted figure represents $373.1 billion in sales.
Note the year over year.

With a republican house poised to stop all that Obama has been doing to destroy our economy some sense of certainty is being felt by all business and consumers. This is no surprise, once you stop Obama and his attack on business/capitalism the economy will take off again.

The wave was already known then along with the outcome. It was predicted along with the economic rebound. As long as Obama could be stopped, the economy would turn around. If he wasn't stopped then the downward spiral would continue.

We The People have neutered his agenda and the power of the free market and capitalism will take over since he can do no more harm now.

How is it not true? Right now the biggest reason we're in this mess is uncertainty. People are uncertain of their future with obama continually telling them their employer is evil and he's going to "put the boots on their necks". Business face that same degree of uncertainty as well as he bashes the American Way of life and capitalism at every opportunity and passes financial regulations that skyrocket the cost of doing business.

Now that he is stopped, watch as capitalism is set free to do what it does best. Grow and flourish.

Link to Obama "telling them their employer is evil and he's going to 'put the boots on their necks'"?

I just want to point out that, however fucking retarded spidey's post is, it's nowhere near his most idiotic. He once said that a man who randomly shot through his hotel room door and killed another man on the other side who mistook his hotel room for another had a chance to get off scott free on 'self defense'.

Obviously it's the obama effect.

People and business have been hunkering down to weather the obama economy, saving their money and capital to withstand his assault on America. Now that the assault has been stopped, common sense says we'll return to normal and let him have his two years of ineffectiveness. We stopped him and America is letting out a great big sigh of relief and spending/consumer confidence will rise as a result.

Just watch. It's already starting. The obama nightmare has been stopped and it was stopped emphatically. This great country flat out rejects his radical job killing policies and we will survive and thrive as long as he can do no more harm.
