All of the positive numbers are a result of the stimulus--so after a year or two, where will we be? And this announcement came on the day when Philadelphia inched closer to closing all of the Philadelphia Free Library brances forever on Oct. 2nd. Plus, the city plans to lay off 3,000 workers, including police and fire fighters. Meanwhile, Eli Lilly announced that it will cut 5-6,000 jobs over the next year or two, and Blockbuster is closing 950 stores. So, here we have perhaps 12,000 jobs about to evaporate. Why has nobody challenged the White House statement that the stimulus funding (ARRA) has "saved or created" one million jobs? Bernanke said that the recession was likely probably could be over.

my guess is that these changes are within the sampling error and don’t mean squat…

and if everyone is mewing about the consumer being 70% of the economy and manufacturing a weak sliver, then why all of the hullaballoo over capacity utilization….it sounds like someone getting excited about buggy whip production being up 200%…..

i wouldn’t even recommend bernanke for cosmetology school – putting lipstick on a pig is not an employable skill….
