NEW YORK - The U.S. manufacturing sector grew in August for the first time in 19 months, adding to evidence that the recession is ending.

The better-than-expected reading Tuesday by the Institute for Supply Management showed the highest number for its manufacturing index since June 2007. New customer orders jumped to a level not seen since late 2004.

And in another sign of an improving economy, a gauge of future U.S. home sales rose more than expected in July to the highest point in more than two years.

One data point does not make a trend.

It's unreasonable to expect Obama to turn around the largest recession in 80 years in six months. He's not a miracle worker, but what he is doing is clearly working. If you guys had allowed the stimulus to be bigger, as economists said it should have been, then it might have worked faster.

It's not clearly working. You're a hallucinating idiot.

that MIGHT make sense if even 10% of the stimulus had been spent yet. :rolleyes:

The economy is getting better. There's no real debate about that. Where were you guys to complain when Bush ended his first term with a net loss of jobs?

THere is real debate about that. Try opening up your fucking mind instead of being an idiotic little robot.
 
this is comical stuff guys, democrats doing the supperior dance because job losses are only 500,000 a month now. LOL

Are government employee raises pegged to inflation like SS benefits? So why the comparison?

2% is fairly modest and the reality is that the last thing the federal government ought to be doing in this economic environment is spending less.

Yes, that is what COLA stands for.... Cost Of Living Adjustment, which is based on inflation.

As for spending, while I agree the Government needed to do something to stimulate the economy, reckless spending is not the way to go. Not saying this particular issue is reckless, but overall it is right now. How can you tell one group that because we had deflation last year that they do not get a COLA, while in the next breath telling others they do?
 
They had Faux Nooz on the tube down at the corner grocery last week.
I kept seeing stuff on the screens about the recovery like it was happening.
One segemnt was finding jobs in the recovery.

I think it will be quite a while, we have shipped out too many of our industries.
This recession is not like the others.

creating 65,000 government jobs doesn't count.

Depends, if they just feed the beaucracy no, if they build infrastructure yes.

A large part of the jobs added during the Bush years were govt jobs. Or as a direct result of government spending.
But I am fairly sure you bragged on those new jobs.
 
Government is the way to recovery. Private enterprise put us in this mess.
