soo… the world news says…?

by Fire Places on July 28, 2010

.. we are in a recession! general electric reported a 6% drop… is this enough to convince the republicans that we are at least close to recession, if not IN one right now?

and please dont accuse me of being a lib who just loves bad news.. i wouldn even consider myself completely liberal at all…and i HATE that we are in a recession as me and my hubby are small business owners… we have a fireplace business where we do sales and every service for fireplaces… and no one is building.. when no one is building a home.. no one needs a fireplace… about 60% of our sales come from new homes… so please dont accuse me of being a lover of bad news like the republicans tried to suggest the last time i posted a question like this… and how many of you believed tyrant goerge w when he confidently said, "WE ARE NOT HEADED TOWARDS A RECESSION!" he knew we were/are.. why cant he EVER tell the truth??
xiphos: yes, if our business goes under, george bush will be partly to blame…. he is to blame for the ridiculous price of oil and the price of everything else goin up.. i know he isnt the only one responsible, but he plays a big part… invading acountry we should have stayed out of was HIS FAULT! i cant wait until ppl see bush for the lying greedy, evil and corrupt demon he is… but i dont think his supporters will ever see that no matter what he does… if they havnt seen it by now, there is no hope for them.
oh, and hes responsible for the fact that we are paying almost 10 billion a month in iraq and if mccain is elected we will cntinue to pay that.. and you dont think THAT is gonna make taxes go up?? please! or that we have a deficit higher than ever?? oh no, the president of the united states couldnt possibly have anything to do with it…
and i do believe that change is the answer for sure, but that doesnt mean i will be voting obama or hilary… i dont support ANY candidates in this election… especially mccain!
hmmm… why am i not surprised there isnt more repblicans answering this question?? usually they are pouring answers in left and right tryin to shoot down my ?
euro: what do you mean we never really got out of a recession?? when recently was there a recession?? there hasnt been one in my lifetime, except for in the 80′s.. i know that when i was growing up as a teen, the economy was booming! my parents business was the best it had been…it didnt start to decline until recently…and when i got married in 2003, the eeconomy was ok then too… not as good as in the 90′s but it was still ok.heck, i would love to go back to payin .24 for gas like it was in 2003.

George would never admit to a recession, that might reflect on his domestic economic policies.

But let’s be fair. The GOP has been very busy trying to find ways to convince loyal Republican voters that this is Bill Clinton’s fault. They can’t be bothered with facts and reality right now, that might hinder their argument in the push to get liberals to consider McCain.

Just wait until the new economic numbers come out (which they will soon for the last quarter).

The numbers will finally prove to all the doubters that the economy is in deep sh!t and not looking good.

Bush Derangement Syndrome is curable. I suppose if your business fails it will be his fault as well. I bet five bucks you are in the Peoples Republik of Kalifornia.

EDIT: Whatever. Was I right? Are you in Kali??

two consecutive quarters of negative GDP growth, that it the indicator of a recession, we were in one in 2000, but panic if it makes you feel better, it is all just the natural cycle of economics, but if you think CHANGE and HOPE are the answer then watch 60% of your income go to taxes. I will vote to ride out the storm and like America always does, we will level out again.

Recession, maybe? The economy has cycles, like the earth’s climate. Good times and bad times are inevitable and cyclical.

What can we do? Practice the following spiritual principles. Save for a rainy day. Don’t borrow money frivolously. Live within our means.

In other words, do the opposite of what the federal government is doing.

I believe the US is in a recession. But did we really ever get out of one? The recession ended in 2002/2003 but where were the jobs?

yes, I believe the hard times are coming back. I told my neighbours the other day when we were in this conversation and they brought it up. I agreed and suggested that maybe people need to start thinking twice about getting those big screen tvs and taking those holidays to Spain. Her eyes looked at me as if "how dare you".

People worry about recessions and job losses, but they don’t want to worry about preparring for them and making things easier just in case the worst happens.
