Comments:
“You get what you vote for. A vote for Obama was a vote for job losses and socialism.”
“Without money to buy homes, it won't matter how much the government increases spending as long as it hasn't figured out that mid-range jobs are key. Neither McDonald’s nor Walmart can save this sinking ship.”
“None of the above are very good leading indicators. A better indicator would be increases in containers and packaging.”
“Government spending? The level of government spending has nothing to do with good or bad economic times. The government thinks they can spend as much money as they please.”
