There isnt ONE economic indicator that is currently positive to even backup the NABE claims, let alone the GDP, the indicator of a "recession" still being negative..
Well, as long as you feel you know more than 2,500 of the worlds leading economists .... I guess we should just listen to you instead!

Be sure to contact CNN as soon as possible, and let them know that NABE was wrong.

If you read the initial post, there is no ambiguity.

Right. The recession is over. Only because the depression is just beginning.

Tell your news to the millions who are still out of work (and the numbers keep growing) and those of us who are self employed who have no work. I have had 6 jobs this year. There was a time when I was booked up six weeks in advance. A friend of mine, and client, also self employed in the landscaping business told me he has no work either. No one is working! No one has the money to hire people like us.

But you go ahead and believe this lie if it makes you feel better.

This is the worst President and administration of my entire life. It is their purpose to destroy the country. This is exactly what Obama wants. He is no lover of America. That is why he has said "We will return America's wealth to it's rightful owners". That's french for, destroy capitalism, and embrace socialism. Screw the rich. Give their hard earned money to those with no ambition, who do not work.

No. They won't. They will continue to blame Republicans and George Bush.

The vast majority of these economists couldn't predict the recent collapse, so yes I do more than most of them

By out ... we are no longer going downhill.

We've reached the bottom, and are heading back up.

Recovery will be a slow process, and may take several years.

Read the OP article for the time estimates.
