There is a spellcheck on this site?
Yeah I read his post. The first one had to do with the DOW.
The problem really isn't that so much as the whole post is basicallyanything you would here on your average media day from the Whitehouse spokesman.
I'm wondering if he actually understands what he's saying or if he's just going with what he's read.
I mean he even throws in the usual "Same people who were fine with the republicans" dance he throws in every economic conversation... when these people aren't ever in these threads and don't seem to exist... outside of like... Halogamer.
While his 2nd and 3rd ones are base speculation that aren't points so much as hopes.... since he refrences numbers that haven't been reached but apparently aren't as bad as they were.
The only stat he has in there is consumer spending... which is more stabilized then anything... though a very fragile stablizing due to it being based on consumer mood. Not any increase in the economy's actual performance.
Whether or not the economy is bottoming or out... nobody really can say now with any confidence. It's all balancing on a wire right now. Consumer Spending could freefall again eaisly if consumer mood is hurt by some disaster... which may or may not manifest depeneding.
If you ask me, the real answer to how the econmy is doing is "I don't know... check back in half a year."
