    Pass this healthcare and that is another nail in the coffin of this republic. This government has taken contol of banks, financial institutions, two of the major US auto manufacturers. Do you really think Obama is worried for you and your healthcare. This is another step in his way to Socialism. Wake -up people before it’s too late which it may be already. He campaigned on CHANGE is this the change you really wanted?

    Bush took a $4.3 trillion surplus and turned it into a $11.1 trillion deficit. The deficit is now $12.4 trillion. Bush took a 4% unemployment rate and turned into a 8% unemployment rate. Unemployment rate now is 9.8%. Oh yea and the Dow fell like a rock under Bush before he left office. I guess half this country is suffering fom selective amnesia. But America is not known for its expertise in history. Republicons try to rewrite history. They do not realize history is based on facts.

    Hey I really do not put much faith in numbers but all you little eichmans seem to think the numbers are going the wrong way. History could repeat itself or you could just make shit up as you go along.

    Why do the idiots who support this government takeover assume that greed can corrupt capitalism but it cannot corrupt socialism?

    Nope I am not implying that the fed ever worked. What I am stating is that it has gotten alot worse over the last year. Take for instance the monetizing of our debt. This has been done by printing billion dollar US Bonds by the treasury department selling them to a 3rd party and having the fed rebuy them with money they just printed. Our country is in worse shape than they let on.

    GDP 3.5% means nothing when you have more DEBT than savings.

    This “growth” is artificially hyped.
    Like giving cocaine to a person who is exhausted… Can work for some time but the consequences are worse.

    Yes! That’s the answer!! The government spends money like there is no tomorrow and that improves the economy! What a crock of Horseshit!

    I will not believe it unless everyone can keep a well paying job again.

  12. quizerry on October 31st, 2009 5:48 pm

    LOL this is truly a bogus number.

    I can’t believe people stole money from children, great grandchildren, disability, disable, sufferings…. They can’t even afford to buy anything from living standard. They worked soo hard in school and walk away bunch of things.
    Who whole education system is fucked up by convert them into socialism.

    Better to fly to Canada, Brazil, Europe, Austruslia, China, Japan,even country that doesn’t suffer hard recession.

    Total cars sold for 2009 Q3 and Q4: 690,000 cars.

    Edmunds projected that w/o CFC, total sales for the same period would have been 565,000 cars.

    Amount federal gov’t spent on CFC $3,000,000,000

    So, essentially, the federal government dumped $3B to get the economy to purchase a net gain of only 125,000 cars

    That means the cost per net auto sale gained ($3B/125,000) is equal to $24,000

    The great masses of the people will more easily fall victims to a big lie than to a small one. Adolph Hitler

    Obama stole $14,000,000,000.00 from your grandchildren then gave it to housing loans and car loans to people who cant afford it and will lose it anyway. This growth’ is another lie. I guess there are enough really dumb americans who believe this smoke n mirrors crap to keep producing it,

  16. derkzukenval on October 31st, 2009 5:48 pm

    The growth is from the tele-prompter mantainence sector and the new inovations in neck exercise equipment.

    abarzila- Dont bother arguing with bafoons.

  20. starraider113 on October 31st, 2009 5:48 pm

    His policies have worked? Are you nuts? Its called cyclic recovery and it happens after every recession once it bottoms out and when work forces have laid off enough workers.
    Im not rich and I didnt suffer during the Bush years. I actually thrived with his tax cuts for EVERYONE and personal freedoms I got to enjoy. Get your head out of the clouds.

    What was the unemployment rate during the Bush years?

  24. curlylarrymoe on October 31st, 2009 5:48 pm

    LOL!!! Our economic growth is based on the US dollar which keeps dropping because you idiots keep printing it. 900billion in circulation before Obama now 1.4 trillion. Our economy has not grown the tool you use to measure it with has gone to crap.

  25. JayPhilosopher on October 31st, 2009 5:48 pm

    The third quarter is really the first quarter where President Obama’s economic policies have affected the American economy. The growth rate shows that his policies are moving the country in the right direction.
    Under Bush, the wealthiest five percent did well until the last two years and even they suffered from his policies, but the other 95% had nothing but suffering during the entire eight years of the Bush Administration. So far, about 75% seem to have benefited from this administration.
