Good news does not sell newspapers- or bring in TV viewers... Especially when dealing with stations like FOX News...
FOX needs a dozen new conspiracies a day to feed to the hate monger/fearmongers audience that watchs them for that every day...
Good news could ruin their day.... :wink: :p :lol:

Kola are you aware that really very few individuals own stock unless perhaps in their 401-k only in the form of a mutual fund ?? Yes housing starts are up compared to the previous years and that's good also....I'm just wondering how many people can and will pay for those homes since qualifying for loans has been made no automatic by the administration. WE still have a glut of foreclosed properties in the country and a huge number of people are still underwater on homes with existing loans. All the Wall Street news is good....but what we really need as a country is a very real increase in hiring (not the funny numbers we've been getting lately).

You, of all people, should know that things are booming in Texas. Lots of building going on there.

Here in Ga, this part of the state, they forclosed homes are GONE. New houses are going up iin new subdivisions--high end-- all over the place. Lowes hiring, many permanent jobs.

As much as you all love to pizz and moan, things are getting better, ALL OVER!!

The "Fed" has been propping up the stock market for a few years now. It has been estimated that the Dow would be approximately at 50% of the current value without these "Artificial" maneuvers.

Did you even read how much of the U.S. Debt is to the "Fed" now?

Dr. Doom 2013 prediction: Economist Nouriel Roubini recently stated that a “perfect storm” for economic disaster is currently brewing, and he stands behind his beliefs. Considering Roubini is the guy who accurately predicted the country’s previous financial disaster, it’s safe to assume that countless buttholes are being clenched whenever this guy has something to say. And while you may think the 2008 crisis was the worst that could happen, Dr. Doom feels that 2013 is going to be much worse.

Roubini, who teaches at New York University’s Stern School of Business, explained the economic disaster looming on the horizon could cause the global financial system to “grind to a halt”, which isn’t the sort of thing you want to hear when you’re attempting to keep your family’s heads above water. Most folks are still trying desperately to regain the foothold they lost during 2008′s disaster, never mind preparing for a much larger problem down the road.

Dr. Doom’s theory: Tax increases and spending cuts will push the United States into yet another recession. This, combined with Europe’s debt crisis, China’s wonky economy, and a potential military presence in Iran, could shove most of the civilized world towards a complete collapse. The problem, of course, is that we’re quickly heading towards the point of no return. Unless something is done immediately to turn the tide, turmoil seems inevitable.

“There might be a weak rally because people are being cheered by more quantitative easing by (Chairman Ben) Bernanke and the Fed, but if the economy is weakening, that is going to put downward pressure on earnings growth,” Roubini explained.

Things are pretty good in Texas. Better than most states but we to have been affected by the bad economy and unemployment. Rates are better than most states but still high for Texas. Two things we have going for us....we're a right to work state and we have no state income tax, not to mention a republican let state government which has the foresight to look beyond today. As for things getting better "all over" you need to tell that to the 20 million plus who continue to not be able to find jobs as well as the millions who have simply given up.

this is really funny...

under Reagan.. trickle down economics was evil..

under Bush.. wall street was evil... the rich got richer.. and that was evil as well.. even as most including the poor prospered.. the big banks were to big to fail..

but under Obama

trickle up is good... even as main street is ignored..

wall street is celebrated..

the rich are getting richer.. and the poor are just getting poorer..

those to big to fail banks consolidated and are now bigger...

yet for the liberals all is well... and we should be happy...

why?

Uh.... if Texas is doing so great, how come people have less discretionary income now than in the past 7 years I've worked in the state?

Things are not good. People are getting by. There is a difference. A big difference.

Should be news about fewer people on food stamps any minute now. :wink:

You not suppose to look at the real statistics. How many billions were injected into wall-street? Why are my taxes going up? Why has my home continued to lose value since 2008?

That must be a local issue- because around here the houses values have increased by a goodly amount and are still increasing... Some are using the amount their houses have increased in value to get new loans to add on to or remodel their houses...

Kola... you do know that congress has been dipping into/spending the federal pension fund?

You do know that congress has "talked" about taking over 401k's don't you??

and can you explain to me why all this money is disappearing out of banks??

http://rt.com/business/news/us-major-deposit-withdrawal-740/


Yes, I'm quite sure you're going to tell me it went into the stock market, but I'm not convinced that it is.....

yep, it's local to about every state in the union, save a couple areas that are producing energy.

Wonder why that is..... hmmm.... why are so many people leaving their home states to flood to an area that is far from home and away from their family to live with a bunch of other men....

Oh, that's right. It's because the economy sucks everywhere else! If the economy was so great everywhere, there wouldn't be the rush to live in an area with such a high cost of living. It wouldn't make economic sense.

Numbers are only useful if you can interpret them.

Wonder where those people would be and your housing prices would be if Federal lands were actually opened up or the deep water areas?

Wonder where those people would be if fracking hadn't been discovered? Wonder what would happen if the greenies get their way and out law it?

You must not really be an okfarmer if your house is losing value. Any house sitting on farm ground has gone up in value due to the expensive dirt the house is sitting on.

the dollar is worthless, that is why values climb. the money is leaving banks, and being used in investments OUTSIDE wallstreet..... land sold just north of me, three bad wells tied together to run a pivot, but the pivot was not going with the place....$12,000 per acre!! that is money people have pulled out of the "system" to put into a very safe investment.
