America loves a winner!

The latest numbers for durable goods and personal income send an alarming message. Will it be heard?

BY DAVID MALPASS

Data released this week by the Commerce Department waved bright red recession flags—orders for durable goods fell 13.2% in August and inflation-adjusted personal income fell 0.3%. President Obama is asking for more time to allow the lackluster recovery to pick up steam. His plan is to move the economy "forward" by keeping the current policy framework in place and adding higher tax rates on income and capital gains. But the new Commerce Department numbers, combined with his stay-the-course approach, point to recession in 2013.

This administration's economic policy is built on deficit spending, government control over the economy and dependence ...

Sometimes you own the libs. Sometimes, the libs own you.

A recession in 2013 if Obama is re-elected - is that your prediction Auraptor?

It's not personal. It's just war.

"We'll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false." -- William Casey, Reagan's presidential campaign manager & CIA Director (from first staff meeting in 1981)

Can you confidently predict that if Romney's elected, there will be no recession? That he'll cut deficits, lower the debt, and get the economy roaring, all while implementing austerity measures?

Anyone predicting that?

"I supported Bush in 2000 and 2004 and intellegence [sic] had very little to do with that decision." - Hero

Mitt Romney, introducing his running mate: "Join me in welcoming the next President of the United States, Paul Ryan!"

Rappy's response? "You're lying, gullible ( believing in some BS you heard on msnbc ) or hard of hearing."

It sure would be nice to read the analysis instead of having you try and bait us into discussing what they MIGHT HAVE argued. Ya think?

Come back with the article.

That's above my pay grade to make that sort of call, but I strongly support giving Romney a chance. If he's not doing a better job in 3 years, it'll be a 1 term endeavor.
