i guess a few stories of layoff means there a recession...

wikipedia definition of recession:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recession

unemployment is down from this time last year
http://www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.nr0.htm

the stock market is near its all time high

gas prices have been cut by 33%

heating gas will be much less this winter due to over supply

the GDP has made greater % change in the last 2 years than any year in the 90's

Did I piss you off by saying Democrats and Republican? Get over it. I am not here to debate the GDP. I am saying he made money during a boom, and is not working NOW, when other companies are struggling.

Gas is 33% cheaper than WHAT? the all time high of 3.25 a gallon? WooHoo. they are still higher than 6 years ago.

Heating Gas is cheaper than Last Year? I doubt that will hold out.

All your stats are from the last 2 years when the last 6 have been for SHIT. It is easy to say I lost 40 pounds this qtr. without mentioning you gained 200 pounds 3 years before.

Follow, or do you have blinders on?

There will be no reduction of the chocolate ration.

Neither are the rest of us (okay, the majority?). Save the political talk for another forum. At least another thread.

i wasn't pissed off - just responding to your politically motivated comment which i though i might debate you on - but you seem a bit agitated now - not sure why...i'm ok with it - you don't have to debate me - but i will, in this case, put up some figures and add debate to you comments ... don't be afraid, it's ok

"Gas is 33% cheaper than WHAT? the all time high of 3.25 a gallon? WooHoo. they are still higher than 6 years ago."

ok - you're right, and i think what the gas companies did was horrendous as well.. but my point is that when oil reaches $70 a barrel and the economy as a whole doesn't flinch - that's a pretty robust economy - remember the 70's?


"Heating Gas is cheaper than Last Year? I doubt that will hold out."

tell ya what - we'll watch it together this winter and i'll get back with you in the spring - i'm just using simple supply and demand economics to predict what might happen - like i said - wishful thinking (and my pocket book hopes i'm right)

"All your stats are from the last 2 years when the last 6 have been for SHIT. It is easy to say I lost 40 pounds this qtr. without mentioning you gained 200 pounds 3 years before."

you're incorrect - the gdp figures go back to the 30's .... by SHIT, what do you mean? if you mean we had a recession when 3000 people died due to terror on our own soil and the end of the .com boom where everything related to the boom was inflated to a dagerous degree - yes the early 2000's there was a mild recession ... i would expect a recession on the heels of such turbulant happenings... i don't blame liberals for the .com bust nor do i blame conservatives for 9-11

so NO, I don't follow ... nice blinders comment

he's probably a bit agitated because he just listened to the drunken, repetitive ass-ramblings of michael.

debating GDP is way more interesting than episode 355. i usually like michael but now, not so much.
