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.

  1. Good news for the economy is always bad news for fans of Rush "I hope Obama fails" Limbaugh.

  2. What's up with the nicknames for Obama? How does "IWon" even make sense?

    This article from the Wall Street Journal might clear it up for you.
