Stocks Soar on Signs U.S. Economy Is Improving - TheStreet


Although slow, due to the devestation left behind by The Bush Crime Family, as disappointing as it might be to the right wing. things are not going in reverse.

Just as you and others are in denial about the election polls, you are also in denial about the economy.

Now gettng back to the OP because the thread is going off track...the wealth has been trickling up by design and that is why your pitiful Bush policy candidate Romney is losing. Deal with it.
6% of the stmulous went to actually stimulating the economy.
half a billion to Solyndra alone.
What exactly has Obama done to stimulate growth?
he has waged a class warfare campaign.
He does pay people to protest at Romney rally's
He has not balanced the budget
He has gotten more soldiers killed in 3.5 years in Afghanistan than GWB did in 7.
In denial about election polls? Do I believe in polls? Not really because the sample is relatively small and often agenda driven. By both sides depending who does the poll.

Perhaps had a good jobs plan been proposed, Republicans would have voted for it. Just because a bill has a "nice sounding" name doesn't mean it's a good bill, nor does it mean unrelated issues haven't been attached to it which need to be voted against, thus the need to kill an entire bill.

It's been well established that the MSM is in Obama's pocket, so you need to take what you hear/see from them with a grain of salt and do your own rearch. This explains exactly why the Bring Jobs Home Act was not good.

But I thought the economy couldnt improve as long as Republicans were filibustering job bills

Doesnt this "economy is improving" actually disprove your own arguments that government is needed to stimulate?

And if they can't lead, they could always try a bribe.

In other words the only things Obama is willing to work on are so far left he can only get them passed with absolute 100% control of government. More proof that he and the democrats aren't interested in anything bi-partisan or in any kind of compromise.

"My way or it's someone elses fault (and when it fails it's still someone elses fault)" that's Obamas motto.

Hey jojajn, where is a budget bill by Democrats?
In all fairness, Obama did propose one. You know, the one that got ZERO votes in the senate.

"The Senate just voted unanimously against proceeding to the president’s budget. That’s right, unanimous opposition to the president’s budget that spends too much, taxes too much and borrows too much," said Don Stewart, a spokesman for Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) "Not a single Democrat voted for it. We’d vote on the Democrats’ budget, too ... but they don’t have one."

This proves that Republicans and Democrats do work together.

I'm not sure why Romney is repeatedly talking about President Obama's budget repeatedly.

Perhaps because President Obama keeps claiming how it will save the nation?

It proves that Obama can't come up with a budget good enough for even his own party to sign-off on.

"...Romney is repeatedly... budget repeatedly?" Maybe you're both stuttering?
