Not the kind of numbers we'd use as a selling point

A friend (as in Facebook, but also musical and longstanding, as in going back to high school) crowed in a FB post about the 2 percent GDP growth announced today.

Does he really want to make something that weak a hill to die on?

  1. The economy may get worse before it gets better. Judging from the only other catastrophic economic meltdown in our history, things will get better (after some nagging dips) on their own (I know, I know, exactly your side's strategy) Think we should all give Mitt 3 months, which is stretching how long you gave Obama? The talk shows are heating up to the same overboil as 4 years ago. We'll know in 10 days. What if I said I hope you fail?

  2. Depends on the makeup of the Congress we elect. Depends on whether FHer-care is repealed in its entirity immediately. Depends on whether we give the go-ahead to the Keystone XL pipeline. Depends on whether we roll back EPA regs on truck makers and coal-fired power plants. Depends on whether we start implementing the Ryan plan for Medicare and Social Security.

  3. If you hope we fail, you are advocating the ruin of America.
