The nice thing about having a Democrat in the White House is that there is never any bad news...

...but now the media has to go back to work.

It turns out that there is bad economic news after all.

//Now they tell us.

A new report on the economy finds that productivity growth is at a 50-year low and that much of the positive talk about the nation's financial situation in the last election, much of it coming from the administration, was a lie.


The report from the U.S. Council on Competitiveness and Gallup finds that for many, the economy is in reverse despite claims that there is an active recovery ongoing, complete with new jobs.//

I blame George Bush.

Seems like....and realize that I am just spitballing here....but it seems like socialism, tax increases and wealth redistribution doesn't work.

Unless increasing wealth inequality is actually the goal.

Socialism/intrusive government - the only sure way to make the population decline.

Socialism - start out with lots of people and pretty soon your population goes into decline and you have to ration women.

//The Great Recession sent an economic shock through American society that reached far beyond the stock and housing markets. More than five years after economists announced the end of the recession, fertility levels have still not recovered. As a result, more than 3.4 million fewer babies were born in the United States between 2008 and 2015 than would have been expected if pre-recession fertility rates had been sustained. In each of the last five years, this birth deficit has resulted in roughly 500,000 fewer births," said the study.//

America - Now at the end of hope and change.

The best part of the Obama years has been all the racial healing.
