No real reason for the 9th, just sounds nice.
If you would actually like to have an intelligent discussion of libertarianism rather than engage in childish drive by's, man up and start a thread on the subject.Pretty much summed up my opinion of libertarianism in a nutshell--as long as it sounds nice....

Gutless liberalism.I have no need to discuss what the voices in other people's heads are saying to them. There is no childish drive by. Like Hemingway, less is more.

GDP figures were revised to 5%, up from 3.9%. Growth in Q3 was mostly due to:
• Investment by businesses
• Increased consumer spending
• Improvements in trade
Consumption may be up in Q4 due to falling gas prices. This means Q3 was the strongest quarter since 2003.
Keep in mind that there is obviously much more to an economy than GDP, but it's still a good sign.

Q3 GDP Grew 5%, "Fastest Rate In More Than a Decade"
Wow, 16%!!!! Oh wait, you mean around $11 billion.But (and for some reason apparently NY Times didn't feel the need to highlight this) apparently Defense Spending was up 16% in the third quarter.
Gutless liberalism.

What did Obama do that lowered gas prices?
Hey, if gas went up to $5.00 a gallon. Who would ya blame, Obama. It's under $2.00 in some places. Who do you blame for this tragedy sir?What did Obama do that lowered gas prices?
TYRANNY! Obama's DESTROYING the economy! His war on Wall Street and Big Oil is bankrupting the nation!!!!
Oh, and the Dow just went over 18,000 for the first time.
I think that's more an effect of the Fed's QE, which, if I understand correctly, has devalued the dollar against other foreign currencies. If that's the case, you can see how much less the dollar buys, the ones that people are working for, being of lesser value. Do please resume your DOW celebration.
The recession ended 5 1/2 years ago and its only just now that we finally have an undeniably solid GDP reading. If you want to give Obama credit, you should probably point out which policy of his it was that caused this nice bump in GDP, why it has taken so long and whether or not it will continue. Personally, I think our recovery and growth has more to do with FED policy and American capitalism than anything Obama has done, but Obama is president so he does get the kudos.It's funny to see just how few responses this thread has gotten. If the GDP were growing slower, we'd have seen Republicans trying to bash Obama's skull in for something. Yet, his policies haven't changed, his ideas haven't changed. So how is it that these ideas aren't affecting the economy as badly as a Republican would hope?
The denial is ****ing incredible! But know matter how you in your mind, try to spin this, the average everyday American doesn't give a Damn how it got this way, just as long as it has happened. Points for Obama whether you feel he deserve it or not, that's just the way it goes.[emoji6]The recession ended 5 1/2 years ago and its only just now that we finally have an undeniably solid GDP reading.

I am more concerned with why the FED hasn't begun raising rates considering the economic growth and employment level. That tells me there is still an underlying problem that hasn't been resolved and will rear its head again. Whether or not Obama slips out of town before that happens remains to be seen.
You're misinformed.I think that's more an effect of the Fed's QE, which, if I understand correctly, has devalued the dollar against other foreign currencies.
1) Even by your own claim, you're incorrect. QE has been mostly phased out, and the Fed is unlikely to start another round.If that's the case, you can see how much less the dollar buys, the ones that people are working for, being of lesser value. Do please resume your DOW celebration.
That's what I said, genius. But go ahead and tell me which particular Obama policy caused this spike in GDP and why it took 6 years for it to happen. Then you can tell me if this level of GDP is going to continue and if so, why? And if not, why not? Let me thank you in advance for not answering a single one of those questions.The denial is ****ing incredible! But know matter how you in your mind, try to spin this, the average everyday American doesn't give a Damn how it got this way, just as long as it has happened.
