Okay, so it is official, America is now finally in recession |
|
after hiding this for so long, the December figures reads 18000 jobs created, pitiful, out of a population of 300 millions, only 18000 jobs created in December.
The price you pay for electing a pleb/twit, a guy you can have a drink with in the backyard. No surprise there then, he has drank this once great nation dry.
:mad: :mad:

3. They were expecting some good job numbers too, or a least they |
|
said they were. There is some actual definition for a recession & knowing these bastards they'll fix it so that it can't be termed an official recession.
It's like the price of oil. It never was officially at a record high price, until it was, and now nobody wants to talk about it.

4. For it to officially be a recession there has to be at a decline in GDP for two consequent quarters |

cut taxes and increase government spending
take on a very expensive and totally unnecessary war
Almost double the total debt owed by the government
Ship a huge number of middle class and now upper middle class jobs to other countries
