They are training new servers as the South Florida boom is beginning. I have NEVER seen these many people down here.....NEVER. It is taking me an extra 15 minutes to drive From Cape Coral to Bonita Springs and it is one solid traffic jam. These baby boomers 401ks have come back full force and people are paying 4k a month rent on places I would not pay 1k. The beaches suck compared to Navarre, and yet all the beach rentals are filling up. Restaurants in the past were near empty on a Tuesday night were full with people waiting.
We usually are happy with chicken pot pies, a fresh dessert from Publix, and some fresh vegetables in the condo, but because my friend is allowing me to stay gratis we are going out to eat and having to wait in lines. I have never in three successive nights seen people being trained. The dealers in the poker room are getting huge tips compared to what they give in Pensacola. Pensacola poker players are much better than south florida poker players who have more money than brains and are way loose. There is a feeling down here that the floodgates of the economy have opened up. I predict a rise in interest rates once the international economy stabalizes. Cheap gas and money in people's pockets......hell at the rate this economy is humming......Hillary may have a balanced budget when she takes office.

And our economy STILL sucks. A record 46,000,000+ on SNAP for record 38 months straight. Guess that's a streak you like.
I'm not sure if you realize this or not, but the health of an economy isn't measured by the number of people who are on food stamps. The economy is extremely healthy today and growing at a rate in excess of 5% annualized.
The SNAP numbers point to an entirely different problem - the skewed distribution of wealth and income.

Btw... after he explains how this really helps the poor and middle class maybe he can tell us where that cash came from.
The fed stimulus has helped everyone participating in the economy. Everyone from the hedge fund investor to the working bloke with a 401k. You don't have to take my word for this, look at the numbers.

Yes it is convenient to ignore pesky little facts like that when measuring the state of the economy.

I didn't ignore them. Read my post. I said they are indicative of a different problem entirely.
The economy is growing at a rate of 5.0%.

They are just as much a part of the health of the economy as how well Wall Street is doing.
Calling it a different problem entirely is ignorance and/or avoidance.
Now what's that term? Oh yeah...
Smoke and mirrors.

Again, food stamps point to the skewed distribution of wealth.
boards of FL wrote: That is quite different than the overall economy, which is highly productive and growing at the fastest rate in more than decade.
boards of FL wrote:We can confirm this in jobs numbers, GDP numbers, profits, leading indicators, lagging indicators, consumer confidence, etc., etc.
boards of FL wrote:Food stamps are a different issue entirely.
boards of FL wrote:Democrats have suggested dealing with this through the tax structure and boosting the minimum wage.
boards of FL wrote:Republicans have nothing to offer in that regard because they don't view a gross distribution of wealth as a problem that needs solving.
boards of FL wrote:I guess we will have to agree to disagree.
The chorus of economic data all agree that the economy is strong. At the same time, we have a warped distribution of wealth and income.
The warped distribution of wealth and income needs to be addressed. The strength of the economy does not, as it is doing just fine.
That said, feel free to continue worrying about our economy that just added 2.5 million jobs in 2014 alone and that - by last measure - is growing at a rate of 5% annualized. Though I'll tell you that your concern is misplaced.
Income and wealth distribution is where we need to look if we are to address the SNAP numbers. Democrats have offered policies to address this. Republicans have offered "No".

Any time you want to be honest about you selected stats that make the economy look good because of your rosey red shades ya' all let me know.
Until then I'm voting no to any tax increase at any level of government.

Not my stats. Just stats. As I said, jobs, GDP, leading indicators, lagging indicators, consumer confidence, new jobless claims, etc., all paint the picture.
I can't help it if you don't understand how numbers work.
