Measure of US Economy Rose 0.4 Percent in July

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS




WASHINGTON (AP) - A measure of future U.S. economic activity recovered in
July following a sharp drop in June, providing further evidence of an
economy that is regaining some momentum.

The Conference Board says its index of leading economic indicators increased
0.4 percent in July after falling 0.4 percent in June.

The July strength came from an improvement in a number of components with
the largest contributions coming from a big jump in applications for housing
permits and declines in applications for unemployment benefits.

The country is doing well. GDP is up. The market is up. Leading indicators
are up.

The only thing down is Republican prospects for this election.
They counted on the economy as being the number one issue and it isn't.
Most Americans believe that neither Obama nor Romney will have much affect
on employment.

McConnell and B�hner's three and a half years of obstruction have come to
naught.

Yes, "the private sector is doing ok"....Unemployment jumped to 8.3
pct. in July.

Is this what Obama calls "a recovery"?

Will unemployment be 9 pct by election day?

Economic Nightmare In Obozo's Banana Republic
Obozo Is The President, For Now
AP: Unemployment Rates Rise in 44 States in July, Including Nine
Presidential Battlegrounds
Unemployment rates rose in 44 U.S. states in July, the most states to
show a monthly increase in more than three years and a reflection of
weak hiring nationwide.
The Labor Department said Friday that unemployment rates fell in only
two states and were unchanged in four.
Unemployment rates rose in nine states that are considered
battlegrounds in the presidential election. That trend, if it
continued, could pose a threat to President Barack Obama's re-election
bid in less than three months.

A 0.4% tick up is not momentum. It isn't even a blip. It's about
half a blip. If Mr. Obama is pegging all of his re-election hopes on
this "momentum" then he is in very deep trouble indeed.

You know any First World countries that are doing better?

Most of Europe, our biggest trading partner, is in or entering
recession. Unemployment in Spain (for example) is at 24%. China's
economy has slowed to a relative crawl. Russia's income is down
because oil exports are down. Japan's economy has been at or near
stagnation for 20 years.

The US economy is currently one of the strongest in the world and our
biggest weakness is the weakness of those other economies.

Guess what? All this mess spiraled off of Wall Street Selling
trillions in derivatives around the globe. Gee, thanks!

During which month half a million jobs were lost. Over the next few
months millions more disappeared as the rate of loss slowed. All this
was left over from the very nearly destroyed capitalist banking
system. For the second time in a century, the conservatives in
Washington colluded to crash the economy.

Thanks to the borrow and spend policies of Bush and the GOP during the
previous administration.

Better than most. And in any case, if the GOP hadn't screwed the
pooch while Texas was running things, we wouldn't have all these
problems in the first place.

4 years later and you're still whinning "BBBut Bush!"

Your beloved democrats had both the house and the senate for 4 years
and the whitehouse for two of those four and did nothing but pile on
trillions more in debt without creating shit. When the Bush tax cuts
expire the CBO has stated that the result will be more recession and
unemployment increasing to over 9%. And you'll still by whinning
"BBBBut Bush!" like a typical dumbass sycophant.

U.N. chief defies U.S., Israel; plans trip to Iran
.
Wed, 22 Aug 2012 17:27 GMT .
Source: reuters // Reuters .
By Louis Charbonneau .
.
UNITED NATIONS, Aug 22 (Reuters) - U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon
will attend a summit meeting of leaders of non-aligned developing
nations in Iran next week, defying calls from the United States and
Israel to boycott the event, a U.N. spokesman said on Wednesday.
U.N. spokesman Martin Nesirky told reporters that Ban will be in Tehran
Aug. 29-31 for a meeting of some 120 non-aligned nations, and for
bilateral talks with senior Iranian officials.
.
"With respect to the Islamic Republic of Iran, the Secretary-General
will use the opportunity to convey the clear concerns and expectations
of the international community," he said. "These include Iran's nuclear
program, terrorism, human rights and the crisis in Syria."
.
Ban is "fully aware of the sensitivities" linked to his visit, but he is
also aware of his responsibilities as head of the United Nations,
Nesirky said.
He noted that non-aligned nations comprise two-thirds of all U.N. member
states.
.
One of Ban's responsibilities is "to pursue diplomatic engagement with
all ... (U.N.) member states in the interest of peacefully addressing
vital matters of peace and security," Nesirky said.
.
A U.N. Security Council diplomat said privately that it was important
for the secretary-general to go. He said Ban should not turn his back on
the entire non-aligned movement because one member, Iran, happens to
have a president who doubts the Holocaust and questions Israel's right
to exist.
.
Iran says its nuclear program is peaceful, but Western powers and their
allies fear it is aimed at developing atomic weapons.
.
Ban will raise this issue and Iranian leaders' anti-Israel remarks
during bilateral meetings with Iranian officials on the sidelines of the
non-aligned summit, envoys said.
.
Iran has been hit with four rounds of U.N. Security Council sanctions
for refusing to halt its nuclear enrichment program.
The Tehran summit, which Egyptian President Mohamed Mursi also will
attend, takes place Sunday through Friday. Mursi is the first Egyptian
head of state to visit Tehran since the 1979 Islamic revolution.
.
BAN CRITICIZES IRAN FOR ANTI-ISRAEL REMARKS

Earlier this month, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu urged Ban
to cancel his plans to participate in the Tehran summit, according to
Israeli media.
.
The U.S. State Department made clear last week that Washington also
wants the U.N. chief to boycott the event.
.
"The fact that the meeting is happening in a country that's in violation
of so many of its international obligations and posing a threat to
neighbors ... sends a very strange signal with regard to support for the
international order, rule of law, et cetera," State Department
spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said.
.
"We've made that point to participating countries," she told reporters.
"We've also made that point to Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon."
.
Last week Ban sharply criticized Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali
Khamenei and President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, describing their latest
verbal attacks on Israel as "offensive and inflammatory."
.
Ahmadinejad said there was no place for the Jewish state in a future
Middle East, echoing past remarks he has made about Israel. He has also
repeatedly called into question the Nazi extermination of Jews during
World War Two - the Holocaust.
Khamenei said last week that Israel would one day be returned to the
Palestinian nation and cease to exist.
.
Earlier on Wednesday, the United Nations said Iran appears to be
supplying Syria with weapons, as the 17-month conflict that began as a
popular uprising against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad slides deeper
into civil war.
.
Separately, Alireza Miryousefi, spokesman for Iran's U.N. mission in New
York, defended the Tehran summit in a letter to the editor in The
Washington Post. He was responding to an editorial in the newspaper that
said Ban's presence in Tehran "will dignify a bacchanal of nonsense."
.
Miryousefi said the Post's editorial board "unjustifiably smeared Iran
and mocked the upcoming Non-Aligned Movement summit in Tehran."

The willful ignorance of partisans never ceases to amaze me. Seemingly
intelligent people suddenly know less about economics than brain
surgery. It's not just Bush despite his massive spending increases he
put on the credit card. it's also more than a decade of GOP
congresses chipping away at banking and finance regulation trying to
remove all the public safeguards they could.

NOBODY can fix in four years an economic catastrophe the GOP spent 12
years creating.

Republicans economic policies were solely responsible for the Great
Depression. The 1982 recession started 13 months after Reagan was
inaugurated and *after* the business community knew about his massive
tax cuts. The 2007 recession and 2008 banking collapse occured after
more than a decade of GOP Congresses and six years of a GOP White
House. The greed and hubris of the Republican party and their Wall
Street financiers is beyond belief. Either they forget or don't care
about 1929-1930.

Republicans are bad for the economy and have been for a century at
least. Invariably a select few at the top will make out like bandits
while the rest of the economy rots and the country weakens. Note that
in 2009 most of the fortune 500 posted record profits. Businesses are
also holding record amounts of cash. Where are the jobs?

The only reason this recession wasn't worse than the Great Depression
is because the Democrats created the Fed in 1913, honed it during the
desperation of the thirties while they were writing legislation to
control Wall Street and high finance and because Nixon took us off the
Gold Standard and turned the Fed into a print shop.

Economics isn't a light switch. It takes years and even decades for
economic events to develop.

Let's not forget the GOP habit of filibustering everything they can or
that the GOP house is refusing to pass it's own legislation because
the Democrats got on board or their habit of spending like shopaholics
with a platinum card.

I still find it astonishing that as soon as a Democrat says a
Republican idea was actually pretty good, the GOP can't turn it's coat
fast enough.

Health care mandates were a conservative idea. Developed by the
Heritage Foundation as a counterpose to Hillarycare, Newt supported
them long after Hillary's healthcare plans were dead. Then Republican
Romney institutes mandates in the state he governs. But when a
Democrat institutes EXACTLY THE SAME POLICY it suddenly becomes a bad
idea! When Bush proposed a new entitlement program, the GOP Congress
could hardly get it written and passed fast enough. When the Dems try
to so much as change an entitlement, the GOP can't attack fast enough
or hard enough. When Obama finds three quarters of a trillion in
medicare savings to cut from its budget, the Republicans scream that
he's trying to throw seniors under the bus despite the fact that their
own candidates' budget plans CUT EXACTLY THE SAME AMOUNT from the
program.

Republicans used to be interested in good government. All they want
now is power
