No, the worse it looks for everyone.

Unlike you  statists, we don't root for the decline of America, no matter who is in office.

I suppose it would have been a good idea for Obama to concentrate on the economy instead of social issues in his first term.

Bernake said today that he sees things improving the second half of the year and hiring increasing the second half of the year.

Didn't hear all the details, only heard a little of the interview.

fwiw.

His economic "forecast" represented lowered expectations than what he previously forecasted for this year.  Which is bad, unless its opposite day.

so an improving economy and more hiring is bad.  got it.

your note is why the market is down, but it is due to pace, not direction of the economy.

however, yours fits your agenda better, so i would stick with that if i were you.

is that why the Republican controlled House and Congress have failed to pass one single jobs bill since they were put in place?

Explain that one please.

I suppose you're right.  An umemployment rate of 9.0% would be an improvement, so yeah good economy.  I don't know what I was thinking.

Think before you speak to the almighty sugar dick on economic and financial topics, cns casey.  I'm sorry you don't have time to understand what you are hearing, but I'm even more sorry that you don't care to have it explained to you.

Explain that one please.

1)  Repubs control the house, dems control the senate.  house + senate = congress

2) no job bills = rooting for the decline of America  (silly things libs say/do)

All in all Bookcat, I rate your post  :facepalm: :facepalm: :facepalm: :facepalm: on a scale of  :facepalm: :facepalm: :facepalm: :facepalm: :facepalm:

My OP stated that I only heard part of his interview.

No one is saying they are satisfied with where we are, but some understand that the path from bad to good is not an instantaneous jump. 

better can still be bad, but better is better than worse.

Consumers aren't very good at negotiating prices when there is informational asymmetry?  I really don't know.  But I do know I'm pretty sure I'd rather pocket the difference and hang down there with the rest of the pack, "worse outcomes" be damned.

We're financing those other nations to have those lower ratios.  In addition to other things of theirs we're funding.
