2012 US Economy Forecast

by Richard Davies, ABC News - Mon, Jan 2, 2012

U.S. financial markets are closed today. So here's a look at America's prospects for 2012. The economy might be headed for a stronger growth track, but there are at least three potential obstacles to watch for: Europe, China, and political gridlock.

First the positive signs, of which there are plenty: the jobs market is looking up, housing sales and construction have been showing recent signs of improvement, business sales and profits are rising, and even many consumers are in better shape today than they were in 2010.

Here comes the flood of positive news articles from the 9:1 media. Geez, you'd think this was an election year, or something.

Sorry about that comment about the Irish stents. It was way off base. They actually sterilize them with Bushmill's (Protestant whiskey).

Good. The sterilization with Jameson's will decrease the chance of rejection.

The Christian Science Monitor is part of the liberal media conspiracy?

Ahh, but the strawberries..that's where I had them. They laughed at me and made jokes but I proved beyond the shadow of a doubt and with..geometric logic..that a duplicate key to the wardroom icebox DID exist

Obama sets up clash with Congress over recess banking pick

Breaks Democrats’ own rule from Bush administration

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/201 ... pointment/

The president acted just a day after the Senate held a session — a move that breaks with at least three different precedents that said the Senate must be in recess for at least three days. Mr. Obama himself was part of two of those precedents, both during his own time in the Senate and again in 2010 when one of his administration’s top constitutional lawyers made the three-day argument to the Supreme Court.

Nope. For me, it's Newt #1 and Paul #2. Actually, I could happily vote for any of them except Romney.

All I know about Santorum is he is really, really, really pro-life. That's good, because abortion is a big issue with me, but being really, really, really pro-life isn't enough.

Babies aren't babies until they've been in their moms belly for 3 months Prof.

hummm, funny they meet both the chemical and biological definition of life much, much earlier than that.

Worry about yourself.
