August 23, 2016 - "Consumers took full advantage of extremely low mortgage rates and continued monetary policy inaction from the Federal Reserve last month, as new home sales unexpectedly soared to their highest point since October 2007, according to a report published Tuesday by the Census Bureau.

Sales of new single-family homes in July clocked in at an impressive annualized rate of 654,000 – up 12.4 percent over the month and 31.3 percent over the year. Analysts had actually expected a slight downtick in sales over the month, due mostly to strong performance in June and a general shortage of new housing options on the market.

"July's surge in new home sales continues to support the sentiment that demand for homes is strong despite homebuyers facing low existing inventory," Ralph McLaughlin, chief economist at real estate hub Trulia, wrote in a research note Tuesday.

Over the year, the geographic South has exhibited the strongest rate of sales growth, with transactions up 39.6 percent from July 2015. The Midwest has followed close behind, with sales jumping 35.5 percent."

How can this be?

GDP is below 3%, isn't it?

And the debt is over $19 trillion, isn't it?

August 29, 2016 - "U.S. consumer spending increased for a fourth straight month in July amid strong demand for automobiles, pointing to a pickup in economic growth that could pave the way for the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates this year.

Consumer spending is being driven by a tightening labor market, which is steadily lifting wages. Rising home values and stock market prices, which are boosting household wealth, are also supporting consumption.

Last month, there was little sign of inflation pressures even as consumer spending firmed.

Personal income increased 0.4 percent in July after rising 0.3 percent in June. Wages and salaries advanced 0.5 percent. Savings rose to $794.7 billion from $776.2 billion in June."

Nope...no bubble here folks.....its not like the bank's that were bailed out with OUR MONEY.....rebooted and INVESTED OUR TAX MONEY on another Pyramid scam for the folks down on main st. Moving on....the Obama Economy is the best thing since sliced bread. Pass the "kool aid" please. What is so surprising about PEOPLE investing "ON CREDIT"....AGAIN? After all...its FREE MONEY....if you can't pay for the new house....just exercise your right to spend the OBAMA BUCKS to bail yourself out.

Does anyone else sense a pattern here folks? If the investment was actually geared to sure up the economy....growth would be indicated by the actual data that extrapolates the growth or reduction of the GDP. The left wing word for today?

Does "parroting" left wing propaganda actually make the poster appear to be smarter? Or stupid? I have my doubts about anyone that is not capable of articulating a position for themselves. Hell a sign reading chimp has the digital dexterity to work a keyboard and prompt...GOGGLE.

P R O P A G A N D A

If it were me....I would also attempt to DEFLECT LIKE HELL away from the culprit that has held the GDP down since its inception. OBAMY CARE SPENDING

August 31, 2016 - "U.S. private employers added 177,000 jobs in August, above economists' expectations, a report by a payrolls processor showed on Wednesday.

Economists surveyed by Reuters had forecast the ADP National Employment Report would show a gain of 175,000 jobs, with estimates ranging from 135,000 to 225,000.

Private payroll gains in July were revised up to 194,000 from an originally reported 179,000 increase.

The report is jointly developed with Moody's Analytics.

The ADP figures come ahead of the U.S. Labor Department's more comprehensive non-farm payrolls report on Friday, which includes both public and private-sector employment.

The unemployment rate is forecast to tick down to 4.8 percent from the 4.9 percent recorded a month earlier."

Abu Mohammad al-Adnani; OUTTA HERE!!!!​

August 31, 2016 - "These advances have all but cut off Islamic State from its last foothold on the Turkish border, its link to new foreign recruits, while a steady push from the north has brought its enemies to within 30km (18 miles) of its Syrian capital Raqqa.

But these strategic setbacks are not Islamic State's only interest in the Aleppo countryside: just 30km northwest of al-Bab, where Adnani was reportedly killed in an airstrike after arriving to tour the battlefield, is the village of Dabiq.

A few streets surrounded by fields, it will be the site, says Islamic prophecy, of a final battle between Muslims and infidels that will herald the apocalypse.

So important is this event in Islamic State propaganda, of which Adnani was the chief, that Dabiq was the name chosen for its online magazine that sought to inspire new recruits to its militant cause and instruct them in the ways of global jihad."

September 8, 2016 - "The number of Americans filing for unemployment benefits unexpectedly fell last week, pointing to sustained labor market strength even as the pace of job growth is slowing.

Despite signs of underlying labor market strength, also corroborated by record high job openings, August's slowdown in job growth, together with sluggish factory and services sector activity could encourage the Federal Reserve to keep interest rates unchanged at its Sept. 20-21 policy meeting.

"The labor market has not been this good since the 1970s. The Fed has operational risk," said Chris Rupkey, chief economist at MUFG Union Bank in New York. "Rates are a long way from normal levels and the Fed has no firepower to come to the aid of the economy if a recession were to hit."

Initial claims for state unemployment benefits decreased 4,000 to a seasonally adjusted 259,000 for the week ended Sept.3, the lowest level since mid-July, the Labor Department said on Thursday. Economists had forecast first-time applications for jobless benefits rising to 265,000 in the latest week. It was the 79th straight week that claims remained below the 300,000 threshold, which is associated with robust labor market conditions. That is the longest stretch since 1970, when the labor market was much smaller."

September 13, 2016 - "The incomes of typical Americans rose in 2015 by 5.2 percent, the first significant boost to middle-class pay since the end of the Great Recession and the fastest increase ever recorded by the federal government, the Census Bureau reported on Tuesday morning.

In addition, the poverty rate fell by 1.2 percentage points, the steepest decline since 1968. There were 43.1 million Americans in poverty on the year, 3.5 million fewer than in 2014.

The share of Americans who lack health insurance continued a years-long decline, falling 1.3 percentage points, to 9.1 percent.

The numbers, from the government's annual report on income, poverty and health insurance, suggest the recovery from recession is finally beginning to lift the fortunes of large swaths of American workers and families.

All told, the gains brought median incomes nearly back to their levels before the recession, after adjusting for inflation, though they remain below 1999 levels.

The gains outpaced even the most optimistic expectations from many economists."

Upward trend of the Obama economy?

Same unemployment rate as Bush had 10 years earlier yet 15+ million more people on food stamps. Why can't the black President do was well as the white one in that area?

Apparently 15+ million more on food stamps under the black President is beyond your understanding compared to the white President at the SAME unemployment rate. Which one was too hard to grasp. 15 million? SAME unemployment rate? Incompetent black President?

No. What's apparent is that....you're handling "numbers" that were pulled outta someone-else's ass....and, I'm guessing neither-o'-you is all that heavy into personal-hygiene.

Just try to stay down-wind.​
