Finally some good news about the American economy

Posted: Feb 15, 2012 |Comments: 0 |

Cranes clutter the skyline along northern Virginia is busy carapace. On Friday evening, holiday shoppers thronged Northpark centre more in Dallas Texas buying Lego and luxury soap. Tables in the better restaurants on the west side of Los Angeles can be booked without Hollywood connections. In places, America shows clear signs of returning to a kind of economic normality.

Not long ago, a double dip into recession seemed possible. On November 22 bureau of economic analysis revised its estimate for GDP growth in the third quarter down, though still to 2% annual rate, from the earlier reported 2.5%. According to another measure of output, gross domestic income, growth was only barely positive in the second and third quarters of the year. Yet an improved outlook for release in the future is now showing up all over the economics.

America's trade deficit declined the third month running in September, thanks to rising exports. Industrial production rose strongly in October. Mortgage delinquencies in foreclosures continue to kick down. The microphone occupied homes remains weak, but construction of multi-family residential units which are attractive to renters may end the year over 50% from 2010. Residential building improvements are touching record highs.

In these improved economic conditions are helping to boost confidence. University of Michigan's index of consumer sentiment has risen sharply since August. In October, growth in personal incomes accelerated. Consumers are feeling quite a bit perkier. Car sales in October to their highest level since February and are projected to recover to pre-financial crisis levels in November. Retail sales were up more than 7% in October from a year before.

the key question has long been whether growth will translate into new jobs. The signs are encouraging; payroll employment growth has accelerated from early summer, and initial claims of joblessness benefits are dropping. All told, gross domestic product is forecast to rise more than 3% per year in the fourth quarter. Meanwhile, inflation is dropping. A less federal reserve with more room to focus on employment side of its mandate.

Yet the recent good news may be but a brief break in the clouds. The legislative battle over America's finances, which contributed to America some sort of, is raging again. If Congress fails to extend key stimulative measures, it may settle a vulnerable economy with fiscal drag of more than two percentage points of growth.

Occupying Wall Street Protests: Americans Are Finally Understanding It

ByJon Safer

On September 17, 2011 a small group of people gathered in New York to begin a protest that would soon turn into a non-violent revolution with people around the world joining in. The protest was staged to bring attention to that 1% in the nation that hold most of the country's wealth gained through collusion with state and national government and the back breaking labor of the other 99% of the American citizens who have sweated for generations to further line the pockets of big business.

It wasn't a shift in power that brought about the OWS (occupy wall street) protests. It was the recession that gave most Americans and indeed, the citizens of the world, a look into the true economic function of this country. For the first time, Americans saw first hand how these big companies greed lead us to financial disaster and while the average citizens of the country were losing their homes and their jobs, the government was busy giving handouts to these companies so they could give their wealthy CEOs bonuses for bringing our country to it's knees.

For the first time Americans saw the connection between government and big business and how the two have endeavored to ensure that the haves have more and the have nots have less. At first, many in the country were shell shocked by the recession and all eyes turned to the new president to make things right and to establish justice for those who needed it most. But, slowly they opened their eyes to the fact that nothing was going to change; that the government and big business were mated for life and nothing short of a revolution would change America's economic system.

At first, individual communities dealt with the economic crisis and the realization that neither business nor the government carried about the plight of the average person, by banding together and trying to help each other survive. But, finally shock was replaced with anger and the desire to see change a real change in the economic situation of this country. The Occupy Wall Street movement is the result of American' eyes finally being opened to the very real equality that has existed for generations and the need to shift the balance of power back to the American people where it belonged.

Now that the collective eyes of America and the world has been opened there is no going back. The Occupy Wall Street protest is just a beginning. If the Government is unable and unwilling to break their ties with the 1% of the population who have profited from the sweat of the common man, then the average citizen must make the changes themselves. They must shift the axle of power by learning to support the small local business turning their backs on the banks, and big business. If that means learning to grow their own food again, bartering for services, then so be it.

Unless and until the Occupy Wall Street protest can convince the America people to turn their backs on the very businesses that turned their backs on the American people, then nothing will change. The OWS protest will have brought attention but, little else to to their cause. And if nothing changes, then more people will lose their jobs, their homes, until finally the 1% will fail because they have bleed America and the American people dry and like every other parasite they too will die simply because they have no host of people to keep feeding their greed and their financial nests.
