7 #3 Sounds a lot like somebody else. Europe is going to descend into chaos, impacting the worldwide economy and America with it. Just before the election. President Obama needs, badly, any distraction or diversion he can find to draw away from that.

8 "Youths" will riot in 5, 4, 3...

9 Barack Obama is a stuttering clusterf*ck of a miserable tyrant.

10 I see       "unexpectedly"      is     making a return to the economic front.  It   went missing there for a while and I thought it must have gone into hiding to avoid    abuse at the hands of Bloomberg's    financial editors.       Too bad it couldn't get away from CNBC.

11

Ahh... but now you see the GENIUS of OUR plan...

 

Unlike Great Britian, we are propping up the economic numbers by creating Money... because Recesions are measured by the movement of money, and even money we just create out of thin air, and give to banks (so they can buy up smaller banks) is movement... thus, no recession and the Economy is BETTER!

 

Don't mind the Debt... forget the fact that if you subtract Deficit Spending, we've been a recession all along... Happy Days are HERE AGAIN!  Vote for US!

12 That's very first-draft. But the basic idea is to tie together four different things -- Obama's passivity, Obama's disregard for America's position as the Indispensable Nation, his overfondness of European socialism as an economic model, and of course his miserable failure.

It is first-draft, but it has a lot of potential.  I'm concerned about how it would be fit into a sound-bite, or onto a bumper sticker.  Sadly, those things are important.

13 and of course his miserable failure.


That should be the lead. 

"Obama is a stuttering clusterfuck of a miserble failure..."

14 These people need to just stop with the "unexpected".  It has lost all meaning.

15 President Obama needs, badly, any distraction or diversion he can find to draw away from that. Obama should hire James Cameron to find Osama's corpse. Then, Obama should take Osama's corpse with him on the campaign trail. That way, Joe Biden won't be the only brain-dead stiff traveling with Obama

16 well it's first draft, I imagine that it can be tightened up, a lot.

17 "Unexpectedly"

18 A nation of subsidized layabouts isn't going gangbusters?  I don't get it.

22 "foreshadowing"
---
In the sense that we've been in a depression for four years that has only been hidden by Bernanke's counterfeiting operation. Eventually the bullshit won't stay neatly stacked up anymore.

23 Did you hear the speech last night, Ace? Romney started going down that route. It is a good one. Obama's re-election hinges on mediocre (at best) job growth. That isn't happening if the world slips into recession in the next few months. Not enough time to spin. Just enough time to cost him the vote though.

24 Unlike Great Britian, we are propping up the economic numbers by creating Money... because Recesions are measured by the movement of money, and even money we just create out of thin air, and give to banks (so they can buy up smaller banks) is movement... thus, no recession and the Economy is BETTER!


"Carney, ask Secretary Geithner if he can go to 105% on the printing presses."

"Secretary Geithner says 105% possible, but not recommended."

* Obama ponders while he lights a cigarette *

"Tell Secretary Geithner to go to 105%."

"What is it, Mr. President?  What are we doing?!?!"

"We're going to kill the economy my friend..."

25 What are we?  Chopped liver?

26 The UK's economy would come roaring back to life if they would just get enough people on unemployment benefits.

27 At least Obama has someone new to blame for our awesome economy.

28

President Obama needs, badly, any distraction or diversion he can find to draw away from that.<<<

 

He has no positives to point to, so I expect this election to hinge entirely on race. 

 

Always Bet On Black.

29 "Barack Obama has been looking to the failed European Model for our Salvation, with predictable results.  It's time to reclaim our place as the World's Economic Engine."

I think that's getting closer...

30 The ATMs and airport kiosks have invaded Britain too.

31 They just need to ban something harmless and popular. That'll fix things right well, Mate.

32 If     you're a country that's spending thousands of pounds to house and support    high-ranking    Islamic terrorists because you're not allowed to deport them since they may face torture in their home countries... you might be the UK.

They were able to manufacture some jobs numbers for a few months that looked sort of like Obama was keeping pace with job growth, so they didn't feel a need to make excuses.

37 We've gone to plaid!?

38

We'll only  start the worldwide recovery when we decide that  this whole idea of a global economy is simply another smoke-and-mirrors  move by the left to ease us into the idea of a one-world government.

 

We've seen the supply   disruptions that come from having some factory  halfway across the world make  parts that we  could easily make here. IMO, if we  were to  make a concerted effort to revive our manufacturing base, we could start to create wealth again and fix most of  our current economic problems, especially beginning with energy.

 

We could use  a Marshall Plan to start producing energy, as the former head of Shell Oil mentioned on Rush's  show the other day, to create some 7M good paying jobs just in that sector, reducing the cost of energy, and generating much needed tax revenue at the same time.

39 By the way, it needs to be mentioned that 2-3% growth expansion in GDP is boom-times in the EU. That's how sucky their econo-business-government model is over there. And that's exactly where Obamanomics is taking us. Low-to-flat GDP; high unemployment; high taxes, crippling regulations; and shrinking tax base.

40 Damn.  One spotted dick joke is all it takes to break the blog?

41 I thought Prez Obumbles was counting on mexican gun sales to pull us out of recession.  And $50 lightbulbs.

I should pay more attention.

42

But everything will be okay, for sure-final-final, because Al Gore has now been inducted into the Internet Hall of Fame! *insert picture of citizen puking into his deskside trash can*

43 Barack Obama has been trusting Europe to pull us out of recession. But we've never counted on Europe to pull the world out of recession before>>

The fact that Europe pulled us into 2 world wars is another reason to not want to attach to tightly to what they do. It just brings pain.

44

well it's first draft, I imagine that it can be tightened up, a lot.<<<

 

Feels like a C.  Bulk it up with some pie charts and graphs.  I want at least an A.

45 Britain never got out of recession.  No one has.  Printing money to goose GDP doesn't mean anything.

Someday ... all this "free money" has to be sucked out of the system. ... Some day.  That's going to be loads of fun.  The Fed and the ECB act, right now, as if they'll NEVER have to reduce their balance sheets ... and they've convinced much of the civilized world to ignore reality along with them.

46 The comments -- they have disappeared!
And the goggles still don't work.

47

Europe has a head start on the type of socialist entitlement that Barky and his gang want to impose on us. ......And it has failed.

 

Yet Barky, the Coolest Prezzy evah.....goes on a comedy show last night, to remind his peeps of how cool he is.

 

Yeah. ....He's cool alright. ....Mr.Cool has got our economy moving along at the speed of a glacier!

48 Remember when 4 - 5% GDP growth was "stagnant?"  Yeah, good times.

49 Frankly, the UK's been lost for decades. Shortly after WWII, they turned Winston Churchill out, and elected a Labour government that promised to build a big, messy welfare state. For the next several decades, they tried to balance their socialist welfare state with their desires to still be a major player in world affairs. They ultimately found out that it's just not possible: You just can't pay for a domestic welfare state and a world-class defense and foreign policy at the same time. So they chose butter over guns. And they (along with the rest of the Euros) got away with it for a while, largely for one big reason: They had Uncle Sam there to pay for the guns. Uncle Sam kept the big, bad Soviet bear away from the door for 40+ years. After the Cold War, Uncle Sam has paid the lion's share in terms of counter-terrorism, counter-proliferation, keeping open the sea lanes upon which the developed world's economies depend, etc. But now the Brits (and the rest of the Euros) are learning the harshest, cruelest less of all: Even IF you starve your defense to pay for the welfare state... even THEN, you still can't afford a welfare state. There just isn't enough money. The demographics just don't add up. As Dame Thatcher said, sooner or later you run out of other peoples' money. Now the Brits (and other Euros) are at that pass. It is all beginning to crash down around them. And.... We still have Leftists here in the U.S. whose fondest dream is to go down the exact same path. Amazing.

More of an ONT type fodder but this is how the conversation on FB is going this morning. 

Our house was heated by coal and the stoker bin would run out in the middle of the night. we would refill the stoker in the morning but it took a while to warm the house. We would use the stove to warm the kitchen.The pilot light didn't work so we used a match to start it. Never stick your head in the oven to see what your doing. I did and had to regrow my eyebrows. Also, one morning my sister peed in the kitchen heater vent. Good times.

64

"The contraction was prefigured by a huge fall in construction activity."

 

You simply cannot replace a native population of IQ-100 Brits with a foreign population of IQ-80 Muslims [Pakistani, Bangladeshi, Indian, etc] and expect the IQ-80's to be able to purchase the same kinds of dwellings that the IQ-100's purchased.

 

In fact, by and large, the IQ-80's can't purchase anything at all - and certainly not anything more than what we rednecks would call a "single-wide".

 

If the High-IQ folks quit making babies, and if, at the same time, the elites try to replace the native High-IQ folks with a Low-IQ foreign population, then [among other things] the demand for anything worth "constructing" will simply disappear.

 

In other words: You've got a massive oversupply of stuff that's been constructed, and a massive undersupply of folks willing & able to pay for said constructs, ergo recession [really depression].

 

In the end, demographics isn't the most important thing: DEMOGRAPHICS IS THE ONLY THING!!!

 

 

65 European societies were never able to handle immigration.  "West Germany' after WWII was able to absorb 6-7 million 'ethnic Germans' from the east only because so many people had been killed during the war


In the past two decades, with the end of the Iron Curtain and then the Muslim Invasion, they're swamped; over-loaded; sinking fast; f*cked

66 Was the bug geek arguing for or against?

For.  But badly, if you've a) paid attention to the chronology of the show and b) know anything about economics.

I am getting a little tired of the decidedly leftward slide of the Show.  Bones and Boothe, at least, should be solid Conservatives (by their character) but they remain silent (or make forced-seeming-statements for liberalism).

Why can't they just leave politics out of it and let the show be about catching bad-guys?

67 US will continue to show growth because we have inflation but are officially pretending we don't. More dollars chasing fewer goods = "growth" since it won't be adjusted properly for the high inflation that's actually occurring.

Pay $60 for what used to be a $30 tank of gas, and the regime/media will tell you it's good news because its GDP growth. It's an Obama world.

Unfortunately England's public at large do not have firearms to protect themselves.

Except the Tories and Cameron are going to take the blame. Which sets up another Sarkozy / France situation, in which the socialists winn more seats and the premiership.

There are small, tiny slivers of hope in the EU and UK  but that ain't one of them.

72

Here's a question that I can't answer for myself without flip-flopping back and forth for hours.  So I pose it to y'all.

 

In the past, when governments have fallen on hard economic times it was generally an opportunity for enemy   states to sweep in and take over.    When there's no money to pay your army, you can't really defend against the barbarian hordes.  

 

But in the modern world the whole idea of "conquest" is, well, gauche.   It's just not done in polite society.  It might still happen in third world shitholes, but in    "enlightened" first world nations?   Never!   Britain would no more annex part of France than France would annex part of Britain!

 

At least, that's the theory.

 

So what happens when the Euro fails?   Do the nations of Europe as we currently know them continue, or do the   weaker ones get absorbed by the bigger ones?   Or does an outside entity -- *cough* the Middle East     or China      *cough*  -- come riding in to gobble up the scraps?

Why would another country go to all that effort?  Why not just buy up their national champions, buy shit loads of farmland, and everything else?

It's not that territorial expansion is suddenly gauche, it's that it is far too much effort compared to a sustained economic campaign. The more subtle is it the better. And in some respects it would help the target countries out as well by relieving their debt burdens.

China has already started this kind of campaign, in case you are wondering.

91 The only question is when and how hard Europe will fall on its face. If it happens before the election, then Obama will be humiliatingly crushed. If it happens after, then whoever is president come next year will doom his party of decades. This will not end well.

At least, that's the theory.

National disintegration is the most likely outcome for first world nations (Europeans and the UN and all the leftists LOVE disintegrating nations, which they like to use the meaningless euphemism "self-determination" for) which eventually leads back to conquest and reassembly in a different form.

With Europe, though, I think they'll just drive themselves as far into the ground as they are able.  I, for one, do not want what will be left of the US to spend one red cent helping the Europeans.  I've had enough ingratitude from that collection of savage, tribalistic asswipes.

108 Obama's passivity,

Barky is anything but passive.  He very actively tries to destroy all of value he sees.

Obama's disregard for America's position as the Indispensable Nation,

Barky does not have "disregard" for America's position in the world, but, again, holds a very active hostility towards it.  This is not a secret to anyone.

his overfondness of European socialism as an economic model,

Barky is too dumb to have any fondness for any sort of economic system.  Barky just wants to harm America and pushing what is un-Constitutional is the quickest way.  Barky is guided more by what is illegal and sure to tear America apart at the seams.

and of course his miserable failure

Barky's failure is the US' only saving grace.  If he didn't fail in his pursuits this nation would already be dead and buried.  It's close, now, but if Barky had any competence in anything our fate would have been totally sealed by now.

And that's what is so insidious; the so called 'failed policies of the past' have been a insane attempt to save the Blue Model of our mixed economy. At every twist and turn Bush was trying to save housing, SocSec, taxation, etc. And it's breaking down. Go figure.

If Europe could not and cannot figure out how to make the Blue Model work, then we shouldn't pretend that we can either. And only a fool would think that government is the source of a country's economic prosperity.

The People are sovereign, the People are the economy. It's time to get Big Government off their backs.

As long as people trade us oil for our paper, it's all good. Inflation only hurts the old, and poor, and those trying to work for a better life.

115 Trusting Europe to pull us out of recession?  whoever would do that?  not even barky.

116 Not much need to worry about the UK economy vis-a-vis November's  election. Based upon today's durable goods report (the worst in 3 years) and   the recent trend in initial jobless claims (creeping back up towards 400k per  week) it's probable the U.S. economy itself will be back into recession  effective April or May.  Zombieland here wouldn't know Great Britain from  the  band Great White, nor do they care, but  they do understand and  appreciate  the economics of their own kitchen tables. 

117 Obama's re-election hinges on mediocre (at best) job growth. That isn't happening if the world slips into recession in the next few months. Not enough time to spin. Just enough time to cost him the vote though.

Rumors  say  the  Bernake  has  provided  trillions  in    currency  swaps.   Europe  is  treading  water  on  the  back  of  the  american  taxpayer.  Some  of  you  seem  to  think  we  would  survive  a  european  collapse;   we  wouldn't,  all  our  TBTF  banks  are  holding  lots  of  euro  debt  and  none  of  them  would  survive  the  collapse  of  Europe.
