US Economy Firing on All Cylinders

Yes the media nimrods who brainwash their sheeple.
If you need to know who they are..see the * thread.

But I know...that you know...who they are. lol

Didn't know you were still here. Thought maybe Tom gave you a vacation for being a "bad boy".
 
For all those clamoring about the US is heading into Recession over the past few months...how foolish do you feel now?:rolleyes:

U.S. payrolls surge: 242,000 new jobs in February

Nonfarm payrolls increased by 242,000 jobs last month, the Labour Department said on Friday.
The unemployment rate held at an eight-year low of 4.9 percent even as more people piled into the labour market.

FMW: I didn't see any references for where the data was derived and it should have been there. That said, except for Labor Force Participation graphic, the direction of everything else portrayed seems to be correct. I don't see anyone saying that the direction is wrong . I can't speak to correctness of the numbers but I don't think this guy pulls stuff out of nowhere.

I think the statement that a small news focused website publication provides "occasionally misleading information" in context of a site like CNBC for example, is humorous. I don't hold it against ZH that his site is anti-establishment and offers a pessimistic view of the world (as long as the reporting is good).

I will email his site and ask for the references for the graphs. I'll post that once I hear back.

I looked at some of the graphs and they don't match up with the latest data.

I would steer clear of that "Zero Hedge" site...kind of like saying "I heard from the National Enquire".
It's information is often misleading and at times out-rightly wrong. Not just my opinion.

"The site (Zero Hedge) was described by CNNMoney as offering a "deeply conspiratorial, anti-establishment and pessimistic view of the world."[7]"
"Other writers have characterized the site as conspiratorial.[8][9] A Forbes article described the site as a source of hysteria and occasionally misleading information.[10]"

U.S. private sector adds 214,000 jobs in February:

NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. private employers added 214,000 jobs in February, above economists' expectations, suggesting solid job growth despite market turmoil and worries about a slowing global economy, a report by a payrolls processor showed on Wednesday.
Economists surveyed by Reuters had forecast the ADP National Employment Report would show a gain of 190,000 jobs.

I found the following article on Zero Hedge. Not exactly the kind of picture I like to see for our country.

Everyone knows that Obama tried to keep Gas and Oil prices to promote Green Energy, another failure to add to his list of wanting to.

In your zeal to say...I'm not sure...what was it you were trying to say? Keep oil what?
Oil has been going down for quite some time, and the US has produced record amounts of oil the past few years...are you saying that an administration tried to make more domestic oil, making it cheaper so that we would go to green energy?

I think everyone would agree that our increased production, combined with OPEC increased production over the years, have exceeded our consumption for so long, that its taken up all of our storage. Big Oil and OPEC typically manipulate the price of oil to their benefit (and our detriment) but at some point, the law of supply and demand does catch up with them. The longer they try to artificially manipulate the law of supply and demand (storing oil under every nook and cranny) the stronger the law kicks them in the a$$ets when it catches up with them. That's what we are seeing now with the recent oil bottom of near $25/barrel.

You're making about as much sense as your strange "price of tomatoes, steaks and jeans going thru the roof" example a few posts down.

Sometimes...when you have nothing to say...its best to just...have nothing to say.
Or man up, and admit when you're wrong...because we all are at times...admitting it builds character.

It was originally meant for mainstream, but since people like you and a few others had nothing substantial to add to the discussion, you ended up going to your "political brainwashed dogma".
There is a "*"version also (Tom split them in two) so since you RMI, have nothing intellectual to offer here, go to the other one and spew your brainwashed ideological worthless nonsense to your hearts content.

You might be totally wrong, but you will feel better about yourself. :smile:

But if you want to talk about Bureau of Labor statistics...real ways (not imaginary) of how we measure our economy...then stay here...and try to keep up.:rolleyes:

Re: * US Economy Firing on All Cylinders

Yeah and with the price of gas so cheap you can afford to drive out to the country and pick it off the vine unless you want to drive to Mexico! :smile:
