Second quarter GDP revised up to 2.5%. Jobless claims still near recovery lows. Second quarter profits top out at a record high $1.830 trillion.

So, in a nutshell, the economy is improving, slowly but surely. It is still a great time to be a corporation in America with corporate profits at record highs.
And, since only bad news is good news to the far-righties that pollute this forum with their bigoted hatred; no comments from them on the factoids posted here.
Those that ignore any good news only because a black guy is in the white house are sad and pathetic. Their hatred makes them want the entire country to fail just to make the black guy look bad.
Despicable.
No lefty/progressive ever wanted the entire country to fail just to make GWB look bad. (he did that to himself) The black guy has been President (NOT cowh) for almost five years now.
How long are your far-righties going to be pissed off about it?
How are you ultra-conservatives going to act when a woman is President??
Are you going to be this pissed off the entire eight years that Hillary is President??  
I hope so. It is very entertaining.

Still, no response from the far-right.
ONLY BAD NEWS IS GOOD NEWS AS LONG AS THE BLACK GUY IS IN CHARGE.
Funny, yet sad, pathetic, and despicable.

So corporate profits are up but the biggest supporters of the Occupy Movement felt it necessary that the Obamacare mandate for big business to be delayed, possibly indefinitely, while the individual mandate has to be pushed through.

As they crawl in bed with their enemy one can hear the moans and soft pillow talk of how their next candidate will find even more ways to take money from the individual so their new lover can make even more profits.

Yep those Occupy Movement supporters surely do represent the 99%'s best interests.

On October 31, 2003 this is what your Paul Krugman said about the current 3.1% growth rate at the Liberal Oasis.


From the former adviser to ENRON and Socialist darling, of the far, far left, Paul Krugman. This from October 31, 2003. Wow…talk about a different tune today. For reference, the GDP for 2011 was 1.7%. The GDP for the third quarter of 2012 was 3.1%, the second quarter for 2013 was revised up to 2.5% that is in a wobbly. The Obama Administration is “forecasting” 3.2% by 2013. What did Paul Krugman say about such a rate of growth. [Oops…not even close]


Now please read carefully what far left economist Paul Krugman had to say about that rate of growth when a REPUBLICAN was in the Oval Office.



###

Progressives and Democrats may want to revisit the LiberalOasis interview with Paul Krugman from August 2003, after the last GDP number was released:
###


LiberalOasis: Second quarter GDP was just revised to 3.1% annual rate of growth [2003] . That’s near the point where many economists say job creation will kick in. Does that mean the economy is turning around, and Bush can credit the tax cuts for doing it?


Paul Krugman: Well, it’s quite possible that we will see some positive job growth.

[Paul Krugman[
But, I still don’t see anything in there that says we’re going to have jobs growing fast enough to keep up with the growth in the population, let alone make up all the ground that’s been lost.

[Paul Krugman]
And the main thing to say is: gosh, if you let me run a 500 billion dollar deficit, [President Barack Hussein Obama’s deficit has been over $1.2 TRILLION EACH YEAR FOR FOUR YEARS][Paul Krugman:] I could create a whole lot of jobs. That's roughly [$500 BILLION DEFICIT] equal to the wages of 10 million average workers.

[Paul Krugman]
So the fact that we've managed to go from a 200 billion surplus to a 500 billion deficit, while losing three million jobs, is actually a pretty poor verdict on the policy.

http://www.liberaloasis.com/krugman.htm

So, Markle. I'm sure others are curious. How do you store your copy-and-paste BS talking points? Do you have a word file? Open office? Google doc? I always imagine Markle scanning the forum, hoping to find something towards which one of his pre-canned talking points would be relevant.

"Oh! Oh! I think this thread is talking about GDP growth! Let's see. I think I have something for that. Hmm. Ah! There! This things seems to talk about GDP. <copy> <paste> <submit> Ha! Ha! Take that!"

Why attack his posts if he has relevant remarks that refute your own liberal talking points that you have stored on your PC?

The unemployment rate that the administration trumpets is a liar’s number. The formula for the unemployment figure that is released every month is rigged to look favorable to the administration in power

The true numbers from the Bureau of Labor Statistics show a far different picture. They show an America that is in economic collapse.

The unemployment rate did not drop because there were more jobs in July. It fell because there were fewer people looking for jobs. The civilian labor force fell by approximately 37,000 workers. The people who are not in the labor force has climbed to 89,957,000; almost ninety million American adults are not in the workforce


The one area of the economy that is growing is in temporary employment: 2.7 million Americans are working in temp jobs

I don't have any liberal talking points stored on my PC.  Anytime I decide to respond to a thread, I actually type out a response on the spot.  Markle, on the other hand, has pre-canned talking points that he submits regularly.  For example, I have seen Markle respond with this very same post, verbatim, at least 5 times in the past.  Multiple people have responded to this before.  It's a dead horse.

Ever heard of the "broken record" approach?  He's providing red meat for idiots, basically.

Please share with us all whatever it that I posted which is NOT true.  Did Paul Krugman NOT address the GDP?  Only, as you saw, his perspective was substantially different with a Republican in Office.  

Fries your behind to have your revised history, and supposedly GREAT news about the Domestic Product shattered by one of your staunchest, far, far left Progressives.

Your comrades and you are BOASTING about what we are supposed to believe is the new normal. MALAISE. A 2.5% GDP Progressives tell us is GREAT. Funny, they don't mention the AVERAGE GDP during the entire administration of your despised President George Walker Bush was 4.7%...oops.

Here's another pearl of wisdom for your highly reluctant edification.

If you don't know that, why are you even venturing an opinion? There are several different unemployment rates. Hard as it is for Progressives to expose their eyes to facts and the truth. Much easier to swallow what they are fed by the DailyKOS, The Nation and the like.

Just more insults like the bold sentence above.  You refuse to answer as to why only bad news is good news to you frighty righties.  Why do you desire that the entire country fail just to make Obama look bad?
It just proves that your hatred for him is so perverse that you are wishing and hoping for any, ANY, bad news to pin on the black guy. Despicable, sad, and pathetic.

New home sales were way down in July.  I don't know how this figures in with GDP and the unemployment numbers, but I've heard over and over that it will be housing that fuels the recovery.

Hmm.  Well then perhaps you are due for some remedial vocabulary study.  I posted jobless claims numbers, GDP numbers, and corporate profit numbers that came out on Friday.  Those are examples of 'facts' if one uses the term correctly.

Markle replied with his copy-and-paste job that highlights Paul Krugman's opinion about GDP numbers from a decade ago.  

One more time.  I posted jobless claims, GDP, and corporate profits from Friday.  Markle copy-and-pasted part of an opinion piece from Paul Krugman talking about GDP in 2003.  

In your mind, is that what you consider "countering with facts"?

If you were to say "The Seattle Seahawks are the best team in the NFL!" and then I were to say "Hmm. Well, here is an op-ed from 2003 in which John Madden is talking about the 2003 Seahawks. He says they were't very good in 2003", did I "counter you with facts"?

Your problem is your still trying to measure the health of the general economy off of how much corporations profit. Do you not see the irony in that?

Why is it so important to you to uphold that obummers economy is good? Because it is not and most logical even minded individuals know this.

You ask me how unemployment rate was calculated. here it is. http://www.businessinsider.com/why-the-unemployment-rate-has-fallen-in-2012-2012-10

I don't claim to be a economist btw. But Im intelligent enough to know when fuzzy math is being tossed at me.

its common sense that the economy isn't doing good when job creation is pushing out part time jobs. its common sense the economy isn't doing good when food assistance is at the highest ever.

now you once asked us if you should run for office, I now see you should as fuzzy math will benefit a politician, but try using fuzzy math as a CFO of a organization and you will get fired.

As you well know, MY post had to do with what the far left Progressives economist of choice had to say about BETTER numbers during the administration of President George Walker Bush. I'm sorry that the TRUTH and FACTS sting you so badly.

Your...whatever...on the Seattle Seahawks make no sense...worse, you know it and couldn't think of anything better.

Yes. I posted facts. You posted an opinion about the economy of 2003. That you don't grasp the Seahawks analogy is not my problem.

Yes, you posted facts and I posted the MEANING of those very figures as articulated by the far lefts favorite Progressive economist, Paul Krugman.  The year was different, but the figures are the same.

That you cannot express your thoughts clearly is not my concern.  I don't care.
