Stop Whining America! Economists "Show" You're The Happiest In 56 Years
Under-employed? Over-indebted? Under-paid? Forget about it... the clever economists that run the world have news for you. Based on economist Arthur Okun's "Misery Index" - which combines inflation and unemployment rates - Americans are the least miserable since 1959...
or... perhaps, just perhaps, the government supplied data on inflation and unemployment is entirely fallacious? You decide...

Wren and Stimpy...fucking priceless !
Its up there with "everything is awesome".
Why shouldn't we be HAPPY?
Look at all the good things we have:
1. Impending world conflict between the chess masters (Russia and China) and the village idiots (3 guesses, but if you can't guess in one, then you are one).
2. Essentially zero interest on bank savings and related so senior citizens no longer have to worry about income insecurity /s.
3. The USA now a one party police state for all intents and purposes since the Repubs have ceased to oppose Obama/Dems other than for making little squeals of protest before happily bending over and taking it.
4. Ordinary Americans having no political party to represent them. Dems representing the super rich, the FSA, and the extreme Left. The Repubs representing the U.S.Chamber of Commerce....mega corps...who want Amnesty so they do not have to go to China for cheap labor.
5. Open borders with Govt induced flooding by illegals to join the FSA wing of the Dem Party.
6. etc
CANADA is worse in that our tripartite Parliamentary system of governance is merely a mirror image of the American Republic on Five Eyes, CIA/FBI/DHS/et cetera. Sovereignty is non-existent with regard to Bill C-51 Canadian Terrorism Bill in Parliament being passed in-line with American hegemony in regards to National Security.
Our politicians pretend to craft legislation when in fact they just pass and legislate whatever laws the American Government passes en masse throughout the USA. CANADA mimics the BORG one party governance you rightly show contempt for in the USA. Now put yourself in the shoes of Canadians that get this from on high shit via American doctrine in American Jurisprudence emanating out of the White House council and Congress every single month of the year.
American politicians don't just fuck up the USA when they are constantly aiming for the entire World via policy dictates. Americans have much to complain about regarding their governance, but CANADA has much to complain about as well, and nothing ever gets said. Harper was, and is, an American led PM of CANADA that was fraudulently placed into power via a fraudulent takeover of the Federal Progressive Conservative Party of CANADA just prior to the 911 CIA led False Flag WTC 1&2 & building 7 USARMY Military Grade Thermite Controlled Demolitions.
What is even worse is that our Provincial Premier Kathleen Wynne takes direction from the Democratic Party of the USA, and Hilliary Clinton. Deep capture has manifested on Canadian politics rendering Canadians almost powerless to defend aganist it provincially, and federally. The neocons have destroyed grass roots politics and the economy, as well as trust in leadership/governance.
NOW I know where Headbanger got his psued...
that "happiness index"? it only applies to net creditors. if you are a net debtor, less so
life is good, everything is free. FSA
That is it....I am joining the brain dead and going to get my doctor to give me happy drugs! I will stop reading news papers and reading informative websites. I believe everything the party in power tells me. And float through life brain dead!
Economists ha ha ha ha ha
Useless fucks
Keep pumping out those B school grads who learned from FED STOCKED ACADEMIA
Well as long as fudgepackers, rug munchers, the FSA, & Dianne Feinstein are happy, I'm happy!
EVERYTHING IS AWESOME!
so happy together, how is the weather? ha...
More energy companies with Colorado ties have announced budget cuts nationwide and in the state as low crude oil prices continue with no end in sight.

Ill be alot more happy when the NWO gets destroyed, otherwise its the same ol shit different day.
"the NWO gets destroyed"
HOW???? Sounds like most sheeple want to sit back and watch it on cable with a bucket of KFC and a 12 pack?
In other words, you're never gonna be happy, EVAR!
"There is nothing new under the sun."
Yeah, we're all just whistlin' 'Zip-a-Dee Doo-Dah" out of our assholes over here. Fucking ecstatic, I tell ya.
Hey, if the 4th Reich says you're happy...
THEN .YOU . ARE . HAPPY !
Get it? Got it? Good !
Of course people are happy. They are not tied down because they do not own a home, and they don't have to spend 8 hours a day at work so they are able to spend more time with their families.
"Of course people are happy. They are not tied down because they do not own a home, and they don't have to spend 8 hours a day at work so they are able to spend more time with their families." building cardboard houses underneath the overpasses... Only in America.
Sometimes a little fact can brighten up one's day. I feel great now!
HELP HELP I'M BEING REPRESSED.
"Bloody peasant!"
1978 was the happiest year, depending on how you measure it - http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2361857/Why-1978-year-world-good-We-perfect-balance-wealth-work-happiness.html.
Happiness is fleeting
I had sex for the first time in 1976...of course, I was all by myself at the time, but it made me happy...those were glorious days!
Ha, in 1978 everyone was on coke.
In 1959, a single earner income family could support a house in the burbs with a 2 car garage with good schools for the kids, in a good neighborhood with a bright future. Medical and retirement covered by the employer, and good wholesome inexpensive food.
Today a two earner family lives in a disposable aluminum box euphamistically called a home, they are being foreclosed on, and one kid is autistic, the other trying to figure out which gender they are, and they're all eating the GMO donkey poison.
USA #1.
Today, we compete against slave wages in asia. Not too long before we're a two tier country. Those that own the factories, and the slaves that work in them.
Except, of course, the whole nation is deeply in debt... falling wages, rising debt adds up to catastrophe.
Yup, in 1959 we had a manufacturing base because trade imbalances meant something. If we didn't build it ourselves, we had to import it, and if we had to import it, we settled the trade imbalance in gold with the exporting country.
No wonder that today, with gold seen as a "barbarous relic", instead of a way of ensuring the balance of trade, we are suffering the way we are.
You would think one of these bozos in charge would figure this out...
But the economists, with their glass crack pipes, rate significantyly higher on the merriment index.
#getyourrocksoff
How can people believe in the USA government ? The one that tells BS about statistical data and the economy, the one's that tells that the unemployment rate is on 6 % ? The one that organizes wars under the trick of false flags , the one that killed about 3000 american citizens in a false flag called 9/11 . the Government supposedly for the USA citizens but controlled by a Israeli 5th columnist with dual passport , the same government that kills his own citizens who do not believe in the
tainted news spread by Israeli controlled media ....... I could go on ....
The government economists cook the books and the public gets burned.
That's good news.
I'm happy and content but just didn't know it.
Thank you.
Are these eclownomists smoking crack? I mean, we know for certain some of them actually are, but are these ones? Trust what the crackheads tell you yayyyyyy.
What can I say? I'm THRILLLLLED
Can't wait to see what the Totally-Pissed Off- Madder-Then-Hell-Hang-You-From-A-Lamp-Post Index looks like.
The "misery index" has a specific meaning, but it is only vaguely tied to well-being. A better measure would be median disposable income, housing affordability, or wealth and savings. As ZH likes to point out inflation is low, but higher for necessities, while incomes are crap for the lower brackets. The tie between low unemployment and wage inflation has been broken for 10 years.
They have to make up their own "feel good" academic BS, otherwise they might observe reality and then buy a nail gun...
Slap a graph of pharmaceutical use up there and it might add up a bit more. Total rubbish.
Legalize weed. Last of government ammo when this BS fails
Old China Had the World's Biggest Drug Problem
Before Mao's revolution won, in 1949, the people of China were miserably poor, ruled by a handful of rich landowners, warlords and foreign capitalists.
Under that old society, many people were strung out on the pipe. There were 70 million junkies in China -- addicted to opium, morphine and heroin. Half-starving laborers used the sweet opium dreams to cover the pain of hunger and hopelessness. And the lazy rich used drugs to fill up their empty hours. In some areas everyone even children, smoked opium. In the cities, tiny bottles of drugs were sold on the streetcorners like ice cream. People got high on the job.
The people of old China suffered terribly from this drug addiction. Many poor people used their pennies on the pipe instead of food. Addicts often abandoned their children or even SOLD their children to buy more drugs. Addicted women were often forced to become prostitutes and many died of diseases.
All thanks to those lovely Brits!

Silver For The People
I think I figured out how they got this index looking so rosey. They surveyed all the illegals who came third world shitholes who now get EBT, free healthcare and a free education paid for by other people.
Then they surveyed all the jihadis who came her as dreamers so they can set up shop to attack us both spiritually and militarily using their EBT to support their cause paid for by other people.
Suprised it's not the best chart eva!
Zombies are also VERY happy. 0% unemployment and zero inflation.
Hmmmm...what happened shortly after the last time we were this "happy" again?
I think everyone finally realized what q99x2 did 20 years ago. That is that you don't have to work and you can be happy living a wonderful life with a rich wife until you can't. I'm working as a matter of moral principle now and it is F'n terrible. Can't wait for the job I have to end.
They say ignorance is bliss and Americunts are the most ignorant motherfuckers on the planet, generally speaking.
Do these fuckhead "economists" really believe their own nonsense..?
Up is down
Left is right
Cats and dogs living together...
What the fuck?!? We are LITERALLY the dumbest population on the planet. I can't wait to see the stupid fucking looks on everyone's faces when this next collapse makes 2008-2009 look like a fucking picnic.
People DESERVE what they have coming. The normalcy bias needs to crack. I can't take any more of this happy horseshit.
Fuck, man!
A perfect illustration of why 'crowd sourcing' is a stupid idea.
