For those who believe the economy is getting better... (Obama, dollars, government)

[Jay F]

If the economy is truly improving why does does the food stamp program keep growing? Millions more on food stamps than during the recession.

Here are my answeres. We never got out of the recession. This is the "new normal" and all news of improving economy is media propaganda to make Obama look good. Secondly, even if the economy improves food stamp particiation will keep growing because it gives Democrats a larger voting bloc. Dems want as many people as possible to be dependent on the government for their survival.

Lets flip that around. The Stock markets have been increasing, the income gap has been widening, the 1.2 million Americans in the top 1% saw a 5.5% earnings increase in 2011, while those in the bottom 80% saw a 1.7% decrease. So yeah, the economy is getting better for the top... the question is why isn't it trickling down to the bottom like the right espouses?

Let see should I invest in or start a company and put up with a bunch of obnoxious employees, deal with the state and federal regulations, payroll, etc, etc. or should I just hire a kick a$$ stock broker and invest in the market. And if starting a company why would anyone pick the U S ?

So, we were in a recession, and now we're not. Now, what was the question again?

If your opinion that actual economic data is "media propaganda," then there is no point in debating the clear signs the economy is improving.

We are in a recession but just to stupid to know it, if it was not for the gvt spending a extra trillion dollars and the Barnanke ease we would see and know it. Take away the props and we are right back where we began and maybe worse. I do know the definition of a recession but that is besides my point.
