It's based on less unemployment. but as an economy we are screwed and have been for decades right? I mean it's all fake money based on a fake pay structure.

the fed has been printing 85 billion a month and giving it to the banks, that can in no way be good

before 9/11, we were doing pretty good. We actually had a balanced budget.
I would love to see a democrat president working with a republican controlled congress again!

What spread sheet?

from that link

Our ruling

Portman said "the average family (is) now bringing home $4,000 less than they did just five years ago." According to Census Bureau data, the decline is even greater, making Portman?s overall point even stronger than the data he offered. We rate his claim True.

Just imagine if its down 2.9% last month..... how about 6 months from now.

It looks like the stimulus propped things up for a very short period and withdrawal of stimulus is now tipping this thing over. Although, at down 2.9% my theory is that if a lot of that stimulus had not been tapered, it might have been down 1% plus anyway.

You keep posting what someone else has written and you accept it as fact no matter what. All you can do is cut and paste. You cannot think for yourself.

What this man said was in fact correct. But when you take a look at where the data really came from, you can plainly see this is a Republican cherry picking stats and using them to back up what he claims. This person looks at stats, pulls what backs up his claim, and ignores the other stats on the same spread sheet that says the direct opposite.

I posted the numbers from the source itself, and all you can do re-post from the same article. You cannot think for yourself.

All he wants to do is cut and paste from the same article.
