Defending the Truth

I did prove it's a lie. I gave you an article from NAM that refutes what you have claimed. The only crow around here is the one that flew over and took a dump on your brain. This is from the link I gave you.

"Over the past 4 quarters, 8% growth in business investment and 11% growth in goods exports have counted the 7.7% decine in housing. This has been good for manufacturers, who account for nearly two-thirds of U.S. exports and manufacture capital goods. Continued strong growth in these areas is one of the primary reasons why manufacturing output has risen by 6.2 percent over the past year, or more than double 2.9 percent the pace of overall economy."

Now you can counter that, but this time do it with some facts instead of rhetoric and insults about Alias.

Personally, I'm REALLY torqued that they out-sourced all the good wooden wagon wheel manufacturing jobs! The Republicans should have done something to keep that from happening!

What about all the Wooden Wagon Wheel Workers (WWWW)? What about their families? What about their healthcare and retirement? This isn't fair!

I know you are, but what am I?

Actually, I had a business meeting over lunch today.

But thanks for asking.

Your statement about the economy is a lie. The economy is doing great and there is under 5% unemployment which is considered full employment by economists. You spouted out of date democrat propaganda about manufacturing jobs and I refuted it with the facts from NAM (National Association of Manufacturers). Here it is again.

The Commerce Department’s advanced report on the economy showed that the GDP grew by a subdued 1.6 percent in the third quarter, the slowest quarterly pace in three and a half years. Coming on the heels of a 2.6 percent increase in the second quarter, this marks the second consecutive quarter of modest GDP growth.

The slumping housing sector, which declined at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 17.4 percent in the third quarter quarter, slowed the economy by more than a percentage point. Following a string of three consecutive quarterly declines, residential investment removed 1.12 percentage points from GDP last quarter. This is the biggest negative contribution to economic growth from housing since the fourth quarter of 1981.

Outside of housing, the status of the economy is encouraging. Excluding residential investment, the economy grew by 2.7 percent in the third quarter, nearly identical to the 2.8 percent average pace so far during this recovery. Consumer spending (increasing 3.1%), business fixed investment (8.6%), and goods exports (10%) all accelerated last quarter. With three of the four pillars of the expansion remaining firm, the foundation for continued growth going forward is solid.

Over the past 4 quarters, 8% growth in business investment and 11% growth in goods exports have counted the 7.7% decine in housing. This has been good for manufacturers, who account for nearly two-thirds of U.S. exports and manufacture capital goods. Continued strong growth in these areas is one of the primary reasons why manufacturing output has risen by 6.2 percent over the past year, or more than double 2.9 percent the pace of overall economy.

You shouldn't believe everything the dumbocrats put out. Do you wish to keep making an ass out of yourself about Alias this and Alias that and blah, blah, blah? Be my guest. You're a lightweight. I can take care of you with half my brain on drugs and the other half asleep.

This is what you printed:

"Journalists Robin Toner, and Kate Zernike, writing for the New York Times, wrote about the newly elected Democrats, who, having won the majority of the Congress, will now have to produce, dealing with, among other things, "the loss of manufacturing jobs".

If you want to use the New York Times and a couple reporters with an agenda for a source, then be prepared for the consequences. The New York Times will say and print anything to promote their agenda.
