Yeah, even using the BS so-called "official" numbers failure has been achieved, but who cares?  For the low info voter (the new majority) it's still Bush's fault, the evil Republican House's fault, everybody's fault but Der Fuhrer's fault.

How in the hell can "experts" be perpetually surprised, disappointed, shocked, whatever, at the economic performance when every lay person can see it comin' a mile away?
"Experts"!?!? Propagandists is more like it.

Well, I am surprised.  I figured we'd keep limping along as long as we were printing a trillion plus per year, until we had a major currency crisis.  I didn't figure we'd slip right back into recession right away.

SCoaMF.  Still able to surprise.

What did they call it when he first came into office?  A decline, not a recession and not (heaven forbid) a depression.

Pretty much everyone between the ages of 20 and 50 have effectively had an entire decade of their prime earning years destroyed. I'm now 35 and earning barely more than I did in my first job out of college, though effectively it's less since I wasn't paying nearly $4/gallon for gas back then. We're on track to see the first generation of Americans live lesser, more meager lives than their parents' generation.

"Surprise"
"Unexpected"

Every damn one of these stories breathlessly qualifies the report with one of those words. When it's always "unexpected" doesn't that mean it's actually....uhh..."expected"?

So, not only not slow growth or no growth, but negative growth aka shrinkage.  So much for "Forward"; we're going backward.

And Levin said last night that the recent tax increases "on the rich" have just been spent on the Hurricane Sandy bailout, plus -- PLUS -- the Feds borrowed another ten billion for it as well.

In my minds eye, I see Obongo sitting alone, smiling slightly to himself; it's good when a plan comes together.

They use the word "unexpected" as if that some how makes it ok or less of a problem.  Or I guess to condition us not to blame that man currently in the White House.

How could it be unexpected?

Sales at Christmas were horrible...way, way down.  And they had predicted sales would be up.

I think they're making it all up now.

They've been making it up for quite a while, these clowns in this Regime are merely more gifted at it.

We produce economic activity out of thin air, ask Bernanke, he's at the heart of it, once the music stops people gonna be real angry...shootin' angry.

No surprise the full court press is on to take guns away, they know their time is running really short...

I am a little late to TEOTWAWKI. I have lots and lots of guns and ammo. Been working on food storage for a while but I am not comfortable. I only hope that I can get to the comfort zone with food storage before the sh*t hits the fan.

Me, too, although I'm doing the best I can.  Dear husband isn't totally board for shtf so I'm on my own mostly and doing much of it on the sly sometimes.   ;D  But he's gets being prepared for a natural disaster (power outage, etc) so he got us a generator, extra lights, etc.  As long as I can frame in those terms he's ok.

He's a good man, not  stupid, but he's a product of a two parent family, where the husband takes care of the family, works hard and does the right things and all will be well from that.  Reality has been hard for him where no one gives a shti and personal responsibility means doing what you want without regard to the effects on anyone else. 

He was let go from his job on Monday.

Aw jeez.  And life just got more difficult and complicated for y'all.

Sorry, LV.
