Spin the Economy!

  • The economy got off to an even weaker start this year than first thought, the government reported Friday, as economic activity contracted amid a disappointing trade picture and continued caution on spending by businesses and consumers alike.

    The 0.7 percent decline in economic output in the first quarter of 2015 was a reversal of the initial 0.2 percent advance for the period reported last month by the Commerce Department.
Um....when the economy contracts (or shrinks), you don't call it a "weaker start." Going backwards isn't starting at all. But Obummer handing off an economy with no wheels, gas, engine and 98 million people not working isn't going to get Shrillary elected.

But hey, Crime is Down....somewhere.....we think....no, not here....no, not Baltimore either.....

Construction is booming. Usually takes 6 months to feel the slowdown.

American economy is going to collapse within a few months,the other bad news is that America will be involved in World War 3..China,Russia,Iran,and North Korea will allied against America. Our so-called European Allies will more then likely sit this one out. Considering the cowardly and treasonous politicians in Washington DC,they will give up without a fight.

The effects of global warming caused bad weather is driving the economy down. That and the policies put in place by Bush, which cause global warming.

No other president in US history has enjoyed 0% interest rates for their entire presidency. Yet still the economy is weak and Obama is pushing for that insane tpp free trade deal.

Hope and change is now sellout and get rich!!

Notice how none of the standard media outlets refer to the almost 1% contraction in the economy as evidence of the beginning of a "recession"? I guess the AP has rules that you can only use THAT word when a Republican is president.
