a seriously impressive GDP report — 5 percent growth rate

[RobDownSouth]

Oh and growth in the last two months of last year was 2.6%. Obamanomics failed.

average for the year was higher than the previous 3 years.
USMC failure.

when you compare FAILURE to FAILURE...less of a FAILURE looks better

Some very good news on the economic front: a 5 percent GDP growth rate

This is phenomenal. I wonder how much of this can be attributed to the recent crash in gasoline prices.

In any event, I'm sure once the Vettebigot and his lil sidekick query get their talking points, they'll be here to deflect, deride and distort this good news for America.

again, what did obaNa do?

Does anyone besides Contrifan32 do that anymore? "Can't trust no gummin numbers under a colored president!"

As usual you and Krugman will pick a point in time and say ... See See See, he really is the bestest President we have ever known.

In the third
quarter, real GDP increased 5.0 percent.

"Hey boss, I made my sales numbers last quarter" "I saw that, but you are down 30% for the year.... your fired!"

^^^Still refuses to acknowledge that last years' TOTAL GDP was far higher (about 10% higher) than previous years.

BS

most tepid recovery in history

I'd have a pretty tepid recovery, too, if when I got sick Republicans spent all their time trying to stop doctors and medical professionals from actually helping me.

[Disgustipated]

I just posted the growth numbers for the last two months of last year. That 3rd quarter number won't be 5% after it's averaged in to the other three quarters.

How does the 3rd quarter number change? It's the number of the 3rd quarter no matter what the other quarters are.

Thx REPOZ

SO, PRETTY MUCH LIKE ALL OF OBAMA’S OTHER JOB GAINS, THEN: WaPo:The Obama administration’s illusionary job gains from the Trans-Pacific Partnership.



Asked about the statistic on 650,000 jobs, the White House referred us to the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative. USTR spokesman Matthew McAlvanah directed us to page 58 of the book. “They do not provide an estimate on jobs,” he acknowledged. “However they do provide a methodology that one could use.”

Essentially, the book suggests that an income gain of $121,000 would be “roughly equivalent to creating an extra job.” So the Obama administration took the figure of $77.5 billion and divided it by $121,000, which yields 640,000. Rounded up, that becomes 650,000.

There’s just one problem: This is the incorrect way to use Petri’s research, especially when officials such as Kerry combine the jobs figure in the same sentence as the income prediction: “The TPP could provide $77 billion a year in real income and support 650,000 new jobs in the US alone.”

That’s because the calculation on jobs can only be done if one assumes that wages have been frozen and there is no income gain. So it’s completely misleading to suggest there would be both a gain in income and a gain in jobs.

It’s Potemkin Villages all the way down. And it’s no surprise if a crony-corporatist insider trade deal was bad for workers.

All that glitters is not gold!

Now that oil prices are down so low the shit will really hit the fan.

A song and dance does not feed hungry people or create Jobs for them.

If Rob and BotanyBoy caught Obama with a baby Giraffe and a box full of sex toys, they'd say he was just an animal lover.

Why are you fantasizing about animals and sex toys? Fucking weirdo.

In Russia maybe, in Saudi Arabia maybe, but why here?

I'm sorry. I'm not allowed to speculate on that question.

I guess we all will have to wait and see and hope for the best.

This schmuck and other similar schmucks have been using it non-stop even after the desperately ginned-up Ebola scare that was supposed to kill half the population in America backfired and has ceased to be an issue in this country. And that was last fall, like four months ago, maybe?

Well, it did take them years to figure out that the teleprompter diss meme-ing wasn't fashionable anymore, so...

New cases of Ebola have dropped off dramatically in Liberia and Sierra Leone since the local population got with the program. Avoiding personal contact as much as possible, protecting themselves as best they could when helping affected relatives, not hiding the sick, and refraining from traditional burial practices that encouraged the spread of the disease.

Education of the Liberian and Sierra Leone population both in proper protection and proper handling of the infected won out over the fear-mongering hyped by the "right" in the US.
