More Americans Believe The Country Is In A Depression Than Growing
Probably the only piece of economic news that matters today, and possibly all year, no scratch that, since the "End Of The Recession" (NBER TM) - according to Reuters: "The April 20-23 Gallup survey of 1,013 U.S. adults found that only 27 percent said the economy is growing. 29 percent said the economy is in a depression and 26 percent said it is in a recession, with another 16 percent saying it is "slowing down," Gallup said." That means that more Americans think the country is in a Depression, let alone recession, than growing. Cue crickets and a Bernanke press conference where he discusses alien abductions and 8 toed mutant Madagascar lemurs.
Said otherwise, a combined 71% believe the economy is deteriorating two years after the stock market more than doubled. That can't be right...
The health of the U.S. economy is expected to be a major issue as President Barack Obama, a Democrat, seeks re-election in 2012.
The government reported on Thursday that U.S. economic growth slowed more than expected to 1.8 percent in the first quarter of the year, as soaring food and gasoline prices drained consumer spending power.
A slowdown in first-quarter growth was acknowledged on Wednesday by the Federal Reserve, which described the U.S. economic recovery as proceeding at a "moderate pace." That was a step back from the "firmer footing" that Fed officials cited for the recovery in March.
The Gallup poll found that Democrats are the most likely to say the economy is growing. Forty-three percent of Democrats said the economy is in a recession or depression, 13 percent said it is slowing down and 42 percent said it is growing.

Ooooh, sorry but that troll only scores 3 out of 10.
Gonna have to dock you some style points for being too contrived.
I do appreciate the effort though. Next time, however, try to resist the urge to push so many buttons at once, as most zealots have a tighter focus (that's what replies are for). You also might try misspelling a few words, and use more sentence fragments. It will help you to appear legit.
I love your closing line though, that is comedy gold.
I agree with your assessment, except that I would dock a point for comming in off the bat in full caps in the previous thread
Actually America was founded of the principles of freedom of religion. All the suppressed religions fled to America to avoid suppression in Europe.
The second wave was poverty, America was a new chance to build a new life. Land of opportunity.
Any religion is dangerous, even ours. I'm a christian to, I go to church every week...
But whenever somebody does anything FOR his religion that goes against another religion they should be put under the ground.
"The great Revelation is coming"? FOR GOD SAKE MAN!! YOU'RE FREAKING ME OUT HERE!!
You should only look to christianity for the good values it contains. NOT TO REVELATIONS OR GENESIS!!
I know where people like you are going. And for that I'll give you one good advice: NEVER PICK UP THE SOAP! IT'S A TRAP!
Not the Great Revelation, just the Death of Birth, as EO Wilson puts it.
Lmfao!
Let's all give a warm welcome to the new mouth that roars from Springfield, Texas ... 'Ned Flanders' ...here for the past 5 days to educate and enlighten everyone on patriotism and religion.
Great, now a religious zealot screaming Allah Akbar! (of course in the name of Christ).
Settle down partner. This country was sold down the river long before you were born. My advice? Know thy enemy before pulling your gun out Mr. Slinger.
Hey Tex, please tell us that this is just an act... Please? For the life of me I can't fathom how you could even figure out how to use the Internet if you really think what you purport to....
In a language you understand: a sinful and inaccurate statement, and you know it.
I was wondering if anybody bothered to let Jesus know that he's supposed to have this douchebag's back? I'm thinking even Jesus likes to watch a guy get the boots put to him once in a while, and this guy would be a prime candidate.
I have no quarrel with religion of any kind. Until it decides to quarrel with me or tell me how to live my life. I can appreciate the benefits of religion - and I respect the qualities and disciplines of the truly religious (note I said TRULY religious). However, there are many in the US who CLAIM to be religious but are not. They sow the seeds of disrespect, hate, and support the killing or abolition of those they disagree with. The last I checked, these are NOT the hallmarks of Christianity, Buddhism, or Judaism. Islamo-fascism, perhaps.....but I know many good Muslims, too. Not a horrible religion if (like Christianity) it is kept from the hands of those who seek to twist it toward their nefarious ends.
We are a nation founded on respect for religion, on the right to believe what you choose. We were not founded on the principles of Christianity, though these principles were expounded upon by many of the founders. Indeed, Publius states in the Federalist Papers that if men were angels, there would be no need for government. How true. Unfortunately, Publius recognized that even the truly religious were FAR from angels. No, the nation was founded on the basis of Locke and Rousseau's teachings - those which espouse Natural Law and the Rights of Man. These have a small basis in Western Religious thought, but were clearly NOT steeped in religion. In fact, they sought to keep religion separate from politics. Per Wikipedia: Locke, writing his Letters Concerning Toleration (1689–92) in the aftermath of the European wars of religion, formulated a classic reasoning for religious tolerance. Three arguments are central: (1) Earthly judges, the state in particular, and human beings generally, cannot dependably evaluate the truth-claims of competing religious standpoints; (2) Even if they could, enforcing a single "true religion" would not have the desired effect, because belief cannot be compelled by violence; (3) Coercing religious uniformity would lead to more social disorder than allowing diversity.
So, let's get past the religious intolerance and focus on the key point. That point is simple: we have politicians who say they are "for us" even while they take every step to be against us. They say that they are "helping us" by extorting our money, debasing our currency, and spending on things they say we "need" without stopping to think they are things we WANT.

As I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master. This expresses my idea of democracy. ~Abraham LincolnDiscernment, my man... Don't be one of those who has (like you raile against) bought into the "climate-as-hoax" propaganda. Do your own research, then decide.
you are off your rocker, as far as the US military is concerned.
I must agree.
Just what IS it with Southerners and the warmongering mentality, anyway?
Has anyone ever noticed how disproportionate the representation of Southerners is within any branch of the US military?
I will damn that tyrant Lincoln forever --- it would have been infinitely better to have let the South secede, and let them be the festering fascist, Bible-thumping, militaristic backwater that they surely would have ended up as, instead of being the breeding ground for all those pathologies and infecting the rest of the USA with them.
Tis true. We like to fight and drink whiskey.
My g g g g grandfather was a rebel.
His grandson volunteered for pershing's army.
Go figure.
Your point is very much taken. But, I know quite a few anti-federalist Southerners who remember the great war of Northern aggression. They hated the imperialist bastards then and many still hate that very same imperialism today. This is a sizable group outside the limelight.
Sittin here wittlin my stick to a fine point.
"They hated the imperialist bastards then and many still hate that very same imperialism today."
Yes we still do.
"This is a sizable group outside the limelight."
Yes we are.
And unlike certain inbred populations (think the Manhattan/Conn hedge fund axis) who feed off the labor of others for their livelihood, we prefer to labor for ourselves and share any excess through charity for the less fortunate...instead of having greater and greater proportions of labor confiscated through taxation and told it is for "charity" by a central government, to be doled out to who it pleases and promotes.
Its really about keeping some portion of the population on the "plantation" is it not?...as charity cannot come through force or it ceases to be charity.
We are used to the stereotypes of the unknowing and the ignorant, but frankly I'm a little surprised that so many here were taken in by Republicants newest ID manufactured to stir this particular pot.

Well said, friend. I'll take those fine good ol' boys who smell of chittlin' cornbread and cordite any day.. ;-)
You don't get out much...
You're characterizing an entire region based on TV shows and other MSM negative projections. The socialist democrats never get criticized for faking their Christianity. No doubt because their core constituents naturally just assume they're atheist liars, like them. That's way more pathetic, and two bong hits shy of a valid belief system.
Turn your question around and ask why atheist blue states and blue cities are disproportionately broke and overly represented among government crime statistics and government largess. Our prisons aren't full of evangelicals. Our prisons are full of semi-feral atheists. And why, exactly, aren't blue states contributing a lot more to the national defense since they're the ones doing the most mooching anyway?
The fascists are the socialist democrats and the usual professional grievance groups are all suddenly quiet about civil liberties now that Obama is randomly patting down 6 year old girls' vaginas and routinely spying on American e-mails. Did you miss the 2009 June exitement when Obama helped Chavez in the attempted marxist overthrow of Honduras? The liberals are classically fascist even if the complicit MSM, desperate for billions in government bailouts, won't touch these stories.
Gwar, I actually don't fundamentally disagree with you at all --- although I would take issue, perhaps, with singling out "liberals" (so-called) as being any worse than the proto-fascist, pro-big-government, warmongering Neanderthals who so often pass as "conservatives" today.
I was merely addressing the very real fact that Southerners disproportionately tend to support the US military, and militarism in general, more so than others elsewhere in the country. Does that mean that ALL Southerners do so, or that NOBODY from other parts of the country do not? Of course not --- that is a strawman argument. I simply wonder why it is that a (I would say vastly) disproportionate amount of kneejerk militaristic sentiment seems to prevail south of the Mason-Dixon Line.
Military is the only way up and out for many poor southerners....
Well we certainly are into our second lost decade. Adjusted for inflation our markets topped in 2000.
<checks calendar>
Yep almost 11 years and counting. We are already into the second dead cat bounce.
http://dshort.com/charts/mega-bear-2000-comparisons.html?mega-bear-2000-extended
We have a military that is stretched thin, correct. But to say that ANY country in the world would "eat our lunch" is laughable! China just made a big deal about launching their first (refurbished) aircraft carrier; the US has 13 full nuclear carrier combat groups. Sure, the F 22 fighter was/is complete overkill, but to say it rules the skies is the understatement of the decade; the trillions we have spent on having the most sophisticated military in the world...by a large margin...is going to definitely pay off. Hell, we could sit off their coast and lob 500 cruise missles and send in 100+ drones, and not even worry about our pilots in their stealth aircraft being shot down.
Hat Trick
Yep you've got an over-funded, over-technologied and over-manned military alright. But have you noticed you can't beat a rag bag bunch of poppy farmers that go by the name of the Taliban?
...that's the same mighty military that's having its arse ripped to shreds in Iraq by the way.
Where you think the "pay off" is for pissing $100's of Billlions down the toilet bullying 3rd World countries is beats me! Answers on a Postcard please to: Haven't Won a War for 65 Years

Also, I should note when I said price is biased upwards, I meant physical, not necessarily spot. Spot will eventually got toward zero, on volatility even crazier than this.
It means there are still 2 silver shorts on this site whe are desperate to find some info that they aren't fried and can keep their dream alive for another 24 hours.

Whoa whoa whoa. I did not capitulate. Just noted the possibility of an even larger parabola forming that could even hit 60 and would likely top in the next 5-8 trading days.
Of course this may not come to pass. Still holding my puts. If it does hit 60, I may go all in. Depending on other factors of course.
Did you say something Dangerclown?
Sorry, but it was hard to hear you over the sound of your sphincter roaring out contradictory and disingenuous inanities.
Only $5 to dig from the ground, bitchez!
You have quite the obsession with sphincters.
Are you trying to tell us something?
Given that that was the very first time I have ever used that word in this forum (or probably any other), I find your accusation, as has been par for the course with you, both insultingly inappropriate and disingenuously untruthful.
Damn, but you are one lying son of a bitch.

Marc Faber predicts Inflationary Depression, gold & silver surge, dollar devaluation, war escalation and oil bull. Feb 5, 2010
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pAJeZaFdbJA
gold to $1,000,000/oz?
Sure, a million bucks is possible. You could sell an ounce and use the proceeds to buy 6 months' worth of home heating oil or something.
This is already a reality.
It's kind of a constant... the only thing that changes is the amount of fiat
Currently, 1oz gold buys me a year of heating fuel...till I make the full conversion to wood heat....
Wouldn't that be nice. =)
In the video above he says if the world wanted to go back to a gold standard "Gold would have to be revalued to 1,000,000 per/oz".
Faber has recently said if the US wanted to go back to a gold standard they would have to revalue to 7,500/oz (I have heard this number several times before).
The $1,000,000 per oz must be predicated on the possibility all outstanding derivatives in the world economy would be put on an exchange and readjusted in relation to gold. Could be wrong, would love to hear him explain this a bit further
Its even more auspicious that it is footage from the Russian Economic Forum from last year. Its like he is a timelord that came back from the future! I wonder does he have next week's lottery numbers?!
that's right, burn that junk button off!
I love the anger.
awesome admission for a woman on the run with a wet honey bun...
You do NOT want to live in a world where Gold is $1,000,000 per oz.
+1. Be careful watch you wish for.
I do. This is Fight Club. Get with the program.
Tell you what...take a look at what a society where gold is about $1 million per ounce looks like...let me know if this is what you really want.
Seriously, this is not a joke..take a look:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ubJp6rmUYM
what a lost society! When gold gets to a mil? If that happens, you 'll need an army to keep any gold you have. Not that I'm saying its not worth dying for....
A million U.S. fiats won't be worth that much. Gold will be valued accordingly by who has the most.
That's what it seemed like he was sayin'. Gold at $1,000,000 US [zimbabwean] per ounce. Bread at $2500 a loaf.
Exactly! A million bucks then will be the new $1600.
Perhaps more accurate to say 'US dollar to (1 / 10^6) ounces of gold'.
Thanks for the link. Marc Faber is the smartest of them all.
Gold to $55,000/oz. more probable:

Of course many democrats think the economy is growing. For them, the growing federal government and it's longer and longer reach is synonymous with economic growth. The Pelosi's of the world freely admit that.

Made the mistake of not specifying my every belief on every remark I make. Won't do that again. I have been duely flogged. Thank you sir, may I have another.

Stop watching it. Unless you're a trader, then stop trading it.
It's all just noise temporarily distorting the underlying signal, which is still quite strong and growing.
I think I'm going to trade half of my silver for gold today. I just think 18% in 8 months compared to 100% for silver is too astounding for even a big silver bug like me. Is it in for a correction? Any thoughts? I feel like I can cash in my winnings for Gold.
Unless you've got PMs at last year's prices, you'll give up your gains in transaction costs.
Unless you're trading with your Uncle Bob.
I did, I brought most of my silver at 25-32
well according to the oracle of dangerland you will have zero net gain soon!
Duh, just not depressed enough yet. Standing by with gold, silver, and numerous fiats, waiting to buy... everything useful.
27%? I guess the other 73% are busy setting thier alarm clocks so as not to miss the royal wedding. LOL

After World War 2, our blessed leaders, impressed by German 'organizational' skills crafted a policy of manufacture of consent.
