Economy grows for third straight quarter

Which is why one reason I can not stand when people say trade is not a zero sum game.

Of course it is not a zero sum game, but it does not mean that your side will be the one to gain over the short or long term.
Well, right. It will go to those who are better than their competition in term so quality and price - gone are the days where labor can dictate the terms of its employment.
 
growth is natural, growth is to be expected, the population grows

that's why we need to add some 150,000 jobs per month just to stay even

a 3.2, considering what we're coming out of, is NOT good news

it's lower than analysts projected, for example

and housing, the pointy pin that particularly popped subprime, contracted TEN POINT NINE PERCENT in q1

we are looking at FOUR POINT FIVE MILLION more foreclosures in terrible '10

that's SIXTY PERCENT MORE than in awful '09

MORE THAN HALF who've received "assistance" from this addled administration have ALREADY re-defaulted

yet, we just do more of the same

commercial real estate is next, all know

fannie and fred are said by cbo to cost the taxpayer ultimately about FOUR HUNDRED BILLION DOLLARS

fannie and fred are EXEMPT from dodd's reg reform package

fannie and fred in december were beneficiaries of a ROOFLESS reconstruction

once again, just more of the policies which got us here in the first place

that is, the FIXES to what BROKE us are NOT in place

service of our debt, MERE INTEREST ALONE, is to approach A TRILLION DOLLARS PER in just over 5 years, according to the ny times in november

the "undervalued" yuan, which bernanke bellyaches is a major contributor to our catastrophe, hu refuses to renegotiate

and obama is impotent when it comes to hu

at&t and the other megacorps are being forced to book an extra BILLION DOLLARS EACH for obamacare merely to remain in operation, not a single new hire

consumer confidence is near an all time low

our biggest and most expensive states are drastically underwater

obamacare places TWO HUNDRED BILLION dollars of burden on their already broken backs---completely UNFUNDED---in the form of medicaid expansion

public pensions are popping all over, what's that do to confidence?

personal income is down 3.2% since obama took over

uncertainty abounds, confronting every step of every employer, investor, consumer, in the hundreds of unanswered questions contained in the thousand unread pages of legislation pertaining to health care, cap and trade, reg reform...

the CONTAGION, the EXISTENTIAL THREAT, emanating from greece, spain, portugal and their eu environs is another major concern

a full EIGHTY SIX PERCENT of americans describe our economy as IN CRISIS

that's not spin, folks, it's trillions of ugly realities

sorry
 
Yes. This is an issue certain people just refuse to understand.
The global marketplace applies to labor, just like everything else - people all over the world are competing for your job.

Shucks these Chinese, Indians may even be able to spell the English language better than the English speakers.
