   Chappy, Chappy, Chappy,

   Refusing to cite my sources is always my option. I am mocking you and am not in discussing your “enlightened understanding of econmomics” because you don’t make any sense to begin with.

   If I were interested in a rational discussion of this topic I would definitely NOT be having it with you. I prefer to mock you…

   There is no universally accepted definition of “recession” but there is a universally accepted definition of when “recession” ends!

   That’s the first accurate statement you’ve made today.

   What did I say that was over your head? I would be happy to provide the coloring book version.

   So far your “rational discussion” has been a conspiracy theory that the Department of Labor simply made up the GDP figures.

   I am glad you are driving this and trying to get Michelle ahead of the curve on this…

   She is smarter than you and might understand it.

   Then it would have happened already!

   Those 84% of people are wondering how quickly all the taxes coming down the pike are going to destroy the companies that employ them and put them out of work! ObamaCare, Cap & Trade, Bush tax cut expiration, uncapped FICA, etc., etc., etc…

   Are you planning to spend your 6 month emergency cash reserves during the Christmas season? No, I didn’t think so.

   No. The 84% to 91.2% of Americans that ARE employed are going to unleash their pursue strings. That’s all it will take.

   That makes no sense at all. It doesn’t happen until they have a reason to feel comfortable that the worst is behind us.

   Now you’re starting to get it!!!

   This is what conservatives need to focus on.

   We need to state that the economy will continue to improve IF we can defeat ObamaCare, Cap & Trade, Bush tax cut expiration, etc.

   Uh, you really don’t get “MOCKING,” do you?

   I am certain Michelle is smarter than you and is NOT jumping on the “Corkie-nomics” bandwagon. But I will keep my eyes open for your joint appearance on Fox.

    She might be. If she is, then I think she might understand this. But not every smart person understands everything that’s presented to them.

    [Michelle] is NOT jumping on the “Corkie-nomics” bandwagon.

    She hasn’t so far, but she might. You certainly don’t know if she will or won’t.

    Economies are cyclical. You know that a bottom of a sine wave has occurred when it starts to rise.

    Cap and Trade passed the House. Some idiotic form of ObamaCare is very likely to pass. That ObamaCare might not be as bad as the worst case scenario doesn’t mean it isn’t going to be bad. The Bush tax cuts automatically expire.

    You really do live in an alternate universe…

    You don’t know much history, do you. Idiotic government programs in the 1930s deepened and extended a depression into the Great Depression that lasted for more than 8 years! Obama is planning even more idiotic and destructive policies and programs than Roosevelt! But one quarter is what you are excited about…

    Very likely?

    Yes, this is bad. Your first (and only) good point.

    You really do live in an alternate universe…

    Why do you state this? Because I don’t think it’s too late to defeat Cap & Trade and ObamaCare?

    Deepened the depression? So why did GDP go up every year from 1934 (except one small drop in 1938)?

    Feel free to argue that the government programs stunted the rate of recovery, but they did not “deepen” anything. Do you even understand what the word “deepened” and “extended” and for that matter, “depression” mean?

    I’m very familiar with history.

    Please explain how today’s situation is different than the 1930s. Certainly you don’t think the situation are exactly identical. Do you? Please tell me you don’t. Please give me some indication that you think the two situations aren’t the exact same.

    WarEagle82, you’re welcome to argue that the expiration of the Bush tax cuts will prevent any further economic growth.

    I disagree, but at least it’s a logical argument.

    I definitely agree that the expiration of the tax cuts will retard growth, and that that other liberal policies could cause economic decline. These are the discussions that we need to have.

    But conservatives better stop their “sky is falling” routine. Because they’ll be in trouble if it becomes obvious that the sky isn’t falling.

    For good measure, I doubled my monthly Rubio campaign contribution. If Crist keeps up the crap, I’ll have to double it again.

    love2rumba, this is just one possibility.

    Interestingly, Cramer showed a 2009 stock market chart. The major upticks corresponded to periods where an Obama policy was defeated.
