Where does this "Strong Economy" comments come from?

Question

The dollar is at an all time LOW and is worth as little as the Canadian Dollar. Countries are starting to use the EURO now and not the American Dollar. The DOW is nothing more than inflated numbers which if they start going down at a drastic rate, then trade is shut down to prevent a huge plunge. The fact that the housing market is starting to burst with sub prime lenders and ARMS who are killing the market. Items are starting to go up in price, because of high energy costs, and the facts stand that they are going to CONTINUE to go up.

Simple food items are getting ridiculous because the price of feed and grains are going through the roof because of the ethanol which they create with the corn.

The rate of unemployment is not indicative of the real rate because it only registers people who are actually collecting unemployment, and not the people who are actually unemployed without jobs.

All our jobs are being shipped over seas or to illegal aliens.

So, how is this good?

Answer 1

Man... It kills me how stupid, naive and brainwashed so many Americans have become. The Dow is worth more dollars because the dollars are worthless. That's basic economics morons!!! That's why a loaf of bread costs like 5000 of whatever their "dollars" are in screwed up economies and that's exactly where we're going now... while our "free" workers "compete" with SLAVES RULED BY TYRANTS IN OPPRESSED ECONOMIES THIS NATION WAS NEVER MEANT TO MERGE WITH!!! Where the heck do you think this is going to take you???

First they came for the blacks and no one cared... World's largest prison population right here!!!

Then they came for the common working class... Customer service, manufacturing, builders, even programmers!!! No one cared...

What the heck makes you idiots think you're not next? YOU ARE!!! You think these treasonous "globalist" criminals respect you for some reason??? LOL LOL Watch as the cheaper 3rd world masses become better educated than us and the treason you support bites you in the a$$. Fortunately, The Constitution has been destroyed and all the necessary "laws" and plans for a 3rd world police state have just been put into place to save us. The military is being grown in BS wars and illegally, unconstitutionally being merged with law enforcement because THIS IS NO LONGER OUR GOVERNMENT AND WE ARE THE ENEMY!!! 20% of "our" troops are already foreign, know nothing about freedom and won't think twice about being used against Americans. THEY ARE BEING TRAINED TO TORTURE!!! HITLER WOULD NEVER ACTUALLY ADMIT TO TORTURE!!! Are you people for real???!!! THESE "GLOBALIST" F'ERS ARE SICK AND THEY'RE DEAD SERIOUS!!! WAKE UP AMERICA!!!

Answer 2

good point. I guess but a 4.5 unemployment number even if off a bit still means that around 90% of the population is working. Do you think Bush's tax cuts helped the economy?
I don't agree with him on a lot of things but on that one I do. I looked at the payback of the national debt at the library of congress website and because of increased revinue they say it is being paid back ahead of schedule. I agree about the market it is fickle at best but has beein steadily rising for most of his 2nd term. My wife and I make about 46k a year hardly rich but we are in the market a bit and our money their has gone up by a little over 23% in the last 2 years. Guess I am an opptomist I like the free market system we have and our freedoms and try not to take them for granted. I will vote for someone in the next election who promises to keep these tax cuts going. I think the more money we keep out of the hands of government and in our back pockets is a good thing. Here's an example of how I think government works Once upon a time the government had a vast scrapyard in the middle of a desert.
Congress said, "Someone may steal from it at night."So they created a
night watchman position and hired a person at $18,000 a year for the job.

Then Congress said, "How does the watchman do his job without
instruction?" So they created a planning department and hired two
people, one person to write the instructions for $22,000, and one person
to do time studies for an additional $22,000 per year.

Then Congress said, "How will we know the night watchman is doing the
tasks correctly? So they created a Quality Control department and hired
two people. One to do the studies for $31,000 and one to write the
reports for an additional $31,000 per year.

Then Congress said, "How are these people going to get paid?" So they
created the following positions, a time keeper for $35,000 annual
salary, and a payroll officer for an additional $35,000, then hired two
people.

Then Congress said, "Who will be accountable for all of these people?"
So they created an administrative section and hired three people, an
Administrative Officer at $155,000 per year, Assistant Administrative
Officer $125,000, and a Legal Secretary for an additional $100,000 per year.

Then Congress said, "We have had this operating for one year with a
budget cost of $574,000.00 and we are $18,000 over budget. We must
cutback overall cost."
So they laid off the night watchman.

Answer 3

Royphil345 hit the nail right on the head with that answer. I agree 110%. We can't pretend everything is "A-ok" for much longer in this country. The economy to the average american is anything but strong. Those in denial, feel free to stay that way. And please, stop watching Fox news. If they told you the sky was magenta, you'd believe it.

Answer 4

The strong economy are Bushes claims. Let's storm the white house and each pick a room of our own. Bush can pick up the tab, along with Cheney, and their rich friends who actually have the strong economy in their pockets. I don't see why we couldn't. Americans pay for those expenses too.

Answer 5

It's good for the millionaires and billionaires. The CFR is mounting strong media campaigns to convince us nativist protectionists that Globalization is 'GOOD' for us. We know otherwise.

Answer 6

Just because your personal situation might not reflect it, the economy IS good overall. The DOW is an indicator. If you have a 401K, look at your statements and you will know this to be true.

Answer 7

unemployment has been recorded the same way for years. So what's the difference now. You have no facts that state unemployment is not reallly really good, and you have no facts that prove our stock market is not in really really good shape. So you can be as biased as you want. Without facts, you only have meaningless rhetoric.

thanks a lot person below me for being honest

Answer 8

Economics. It's not a hard course to take.

I'm a democrat. You aren't helping us look good.

Answer 9

it's a Crock, from crooks
