The MSM is trying to convince us that we are not screwed. I think they should step back from their advertisers wallets and look at the people's wallets. Eventually we must buy things as obsolessence is built into products to keep the profits rolling in.
b******* We have not even came close to seeing the worst. Wait until the hyperinflation kicks in thanks to Obamas budget and all of the bailout cash that went to help no one but his rich friends.
The problem though is that when the economy starts to recover (as it always does), the economy will stall because there is going to be stagflation. We will have lots of money in the economy but nothing to buy with the money because there will be no goods (at least goods made in America) because of all the new enviromental regulations. We won't have any gas to run our cars or electricity to run our shops. Interest rates will have to soar in order for people to buy our treasuries and so on Welcome to the USSR you don't know how lucky you are boy.
Where is the AP getting their information? Consumer confidence soars......are they high? It would be nice if the media would quit kissing the butt of Obama and report facts and the true feelings of the people across this great land.
who does Anne work for....
America is over $57 trillion in debt and are so tight with a George Washington their breath smell like sh!!....if anything soared....it wus the propagandist crap out of D. C.
Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain! Everything is peachy and only pigs can contract swine flu! At least that is what the teleprompter is telling me..........
More Americans than ever are losing their jobs every day, so how can rising consumer confidence be a hopeful sign. I guess it all depends in how you do (rig) the survey to suit political interests.
AP (Associated Propaganda) has spoken again. Yipee. Who needs a Bible when you have these guys? They're always right. Right?
Almost as dependable as the CommunistNewsNetwork.
Liberal press just doing their part to support the party. Tired of reading what these clueless, left wing puppets publish every day.
It is good news that consumers are gaining confidence. However, since most Americans are so deep in consumer debt from living beyond their means, how does this really help an unsustainable economy that requires the majority of American households to live on ever growing consumer debt?
Before we can breathe easy and look to long lasting prosperity, we must learn as a nation how to live within our means. Since our Government is spending us to oblivion, I do not see reason to celebrate just yet.
I go to the mall, and it's virtually empty. The few people there are just strolling. Downtown the parking garages are empty - people don't have jobs to go to. The economy is grinding to a halt before the collapse comes, just as Obama's people planned it.
If McCain and Palin had won the election what would they have done to
address the:
Banking system?
Auto industry?
Two wars and the cost of those wars?
Health Care?
Education?
Energy?
World relations?
Just curious if the conservations have a plan.
All intelligent replies respectfully accepted.
Where I work they just fired 16 people, bosses questioned 44 people to make a choice, all of them were republicans!
I think their barometer is broke. I don't know anybody that thinks things are on an upswing. This sounds like more media b******* to me. There are more foreclosures than ever and the only ones buying homes are the vultures that buy them cheaply. People are getting laid off by the thousands and the credit card companies and banks are robbing us blind. The government has buried us so far in debt that your greatgrand kids will be paying thru the nose for 100 years WHERE IS THIS ROSEY PICTURE THE MEDIA IS TRYING TO PAINT
Another "Good News Bulletin" paid for by the friendly folks at "Drink-The-Kool-Aid.com" The people you know as "The White House".
Who did they ask? Everyone I speak to is broke and barely making it.
Americans everywhere are losing jobs,losing homes and losing their minds.
I know a few families who has applied for a loan modification/refinances and their mortgage lender has yet to do anything helpful for them.
The kicker is this is after the bailout where tons of money was given to these same mortgage lenders to ease the burden of homeowners.
The lenders are not helping anyone...instead they are KEEPING the money! WAKE UP AMERICA!
P.S. Swine Flu = Propaganda without any facts
this is terrible news for republicans. they will have to listen to rush limbaugh and glen beck for further instructions on what to whine about now. it's so pathetic that all republicans have left is yahoo message boards, rush limabaugh, and fox news. They even LOST another congressional election this weekend in a conservative district in new york.
Reading the Buzz negative comments run about 10 to 1 against the policies, spending and national security agenda of this Admin. My family was insulted by NBC, MSNBC and the liberial papers calling them Muntants and racist rednecks. Tea Parties were a great idea and right now we need a large event in DC. in front of the white house and the capital building telling Nancy the Dictator, Barney the lier and tax evader and Harry the weasel we do not want this agenda. I am awaiting the call and hope the organizers of the first tea party can pull together one massive demonstration in DC. The elitests, the Democratic party wants a one party rule and they are doing all they can to push through their agenda without OUR representives even having a vote. This is what the revolution was about, taxation without representation.
O boy I can go out and spend all my money. I mean I would if my 401K hadn't taken a crap. These people are on dope. Wake up liberal media and smell the roses.
So, who's buying these houses? I doubt it's people who just got forclosed on.
I know, it's people investing in property for profit. I have a friend who bought a house for $25,000. She's fixing it up to rent. SMART!
With people getting kicked out every day, they need a place to live..the only option is to rent.
OBAMA FAVORABLE RATINGS HIT 74%! BUSH WAS AT 22% WHEN HE LEFT OFFICE! BUSH NEO CONS AND NAZI CONS FREAKING OUT, FROTHING, FOAMING, SCREAMING AND TEARING OUT HAIR!
DONTCHA JUST LOVE IT?! GO OBAMA GO!
If the government can spend foolishly, so can I. By doing so, I am showing consumer confidence. And if I make too many bad decisions in my spending, I will just request that the government bail me out.........makes sense to me.
why is this all obama's fault??? where have you whiners been the last 8 years when GW spent 5 trillion and they are still adding. bitch and moan and when OBAMA TURNS THIS AROUND recant your ignorance and bias here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They sorta left out that most people are getting their tax returns about now. Mine went to paying bills and getting food, and I'm still way behind, mortgage company "Wells Fargo" won't help, bank "BOA" won't help. So my consumer confidence is down the toilet along with America!
ps you like how they make is real difficult to figure out the code to post this stuff.
DONT YOU JUST LOVE THE WAY THE REPUBLICANS SHOVED THOUGH HORRIBLE POLICIES WHEN THEY WERE IN CONTROL, ALMOST DESTROYING THIS COUNTRY, BUT NOW THAT THEY ARE OUT IN THE WOODSHED THEY DECRY DEMOCRATS "ONE PARTY" RULE!
OMG, THE NAZI CONS ARE IN SUCH DISARRAY! IT IS GLORIOUS TO SEE AND GREAT FOR AMERICA.
GO OBAMA GO! CLEAN UP THE BUSH NAZI CON MESS AND BRING AMERICA BACK!
