Economic denial

Boy the economy sucks. But there are undeniable green shoots - unemployment is inching down, and recently US factory output has been exceeding expectations. Well, undeniable except to Freepers, who continue to hope for death and destruction under Obama's watch:

BlackVeil suddenly decides that government has nothing to do with the economy:

That is a credit to the industrious American people, but not their government.

C210N thinks anything good is really a sign of badness in the future:

Probably expecting an inflationary or hyper-inflationary time where Americans go on a buying spree to spend the money that becomes worthless the next day.

Caipirabob thinks the numbers are made up cause everyone is afraid of Obama:

In America, who wants to be the one to report negative numbers to “IWon”?

xzins also sees death on the horizon:

Businesses are taking this one year reprieve and using it. After Obama’s speech they know that the other shoe will drop again in about 9 months, so the economy will tank right after Christmas as businesses refuse to make long-term decisions due to the specter of high taxes, costs, and government meddling.

Rennes Templar think Americans have stopped consuming:

Probably selling products overseas, because unemployeed Americans can’t afford them.
