Title: Recession in U.S. Was Even Worse Than Estimated, Revisions Show

The worst U.S. recession since the 1930s was even deeper than previously estimated, reflecting bigger slumps in consumer spending and housing, according to revised figures.

The world’s largest economy shrank 4.1 percent from the fourth quarter of 2007 to the second quarter of 2009, compared with the 3.7 percent drop previously on the books, the Commerce Department said today in Washington. Household spending fell 1.2 percent in 2009, twice as much as previously projected and the biggest decline since 1942.

“We do tend to get bigger revisions at turning points in the economy,” Steven Landefeld, director of the Commerce Department’s Bureau of Economic Analysis, said in a press conference this week. On the more positive side, “in the past, we’ve tended to undershoot the recovery” as well, he said.

The data better explain why the jobless rate doubled, reaching a 26-year high of 10.1 percent in October, and has been slow to subside. The government also boosted personal income levels for each of the past three years, propelling the savings rate higher and signaling households are further along the process of repairing finances.

The rebound from the recession has been more subdued in the last six months of 2009, as the economy grew at an average 3.3 annual pace from July 2009 through December, instead of the 3.9 percent previously projected.

Lehman Collapse

The worst quarter of the current economic slump is now the final three months of 2008, in the immediate aftermath of the collapse of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc., rather than the first quarter of 2009. GDP shrank at a 6.8 percent pace from October to December 2008, exceeding the prior estimate of 5.4 percent, making it the deepest quarterly drop since 1980.

The new data showed the peak of the last expansion occurred in the fourth quarter of 2007 rather than the second quarter of 2008. The figures are more in sync with the recession chronology prescribed by the National Bureau of Economic Research, the accepted arbiter of U.S. business cycles. The Cambridge, Massachusetts-based private group determined the slump began in December 2007, and has yet to announce when it ended.

Consumer purchases, which account for 70 percent of the economy, were cut for each of the past three years, with the biggest reduction taking place last year. Less spending on services than previously estimated, including financial services and auto repair, was responsible for the change.

Services Revised

Data on services, which make up almost 90 percent of the economy, are less timely than figures on manufacturing and are therefore subject to larger revisions, the BEA’s Landefeld said in the press conference.

Efforts are under way that will make it possible for the government to measure consumer spending at almost all service industries by 2013, said Landefeld. Starting this year, coverage will improve to about 39 percent from 19 percent in prior years.

Personal income was revised up by $18.2 billion in 2007, by $152.3 billion in 2008, and by $155.9 billion last year, the report showed. Part of the reason for the improvement was that corporate dividends didn’t plunge as much as previously estimated.

Disposable income, or the money left over after taxes, grew 1.5 percent a year on average during from 2007 through 2009, compared with a prior projection of 1.2 percent.

More Savings

Higher incomes and less spending meant bigger savings as a proportion of disposable income, the revisions showed. The savings rate reached 7.2 percent in the second quarter of 2009, the highest since 1992.

Residential construction fell at a 22 percent annual pace during the 2007-2009 period, one percentage point more than previously reported for what was already the worst housing slump since the Great Depression.

The government revised pre-tax corporate profits down for each of the three years. The biggest change was a $97.6 billion reduction, or 7.2 percent cut, in 2008. The drop was mainly among financial institutions, indicating the financial crisis was more severe than previously estimated.

Price measures including the Federal Reserve’s preferred inflation gauge -- which tracks consumer spending and excludes food and fuel -- were little changed during the 2007 to 2009 timeframe, the new figures showed.

The revisions are part of the government’s annual updates derived from broader, more complete, surveys.

The Commerce Department also reported today that the economy grew at a 2.4 percent annual rate from April through June following a 3.7 percent pace of expansion in the first quarter that was previously reported as a 2.7 percent gain.

Yep, as soon as EEEVIL business folks realized a Marxist ObamaNation Regime was inevitable, with all its BigGuv'ment wasteful spending and onerous regulations, folks stopped hiring becuz they knew what Marxism does to our Nation.

You can keep chanting yer mantra that "It's Bush's fault, it's Bush's fault", but you know full well the economic downturn should rightfully be blamed on the Pelosi/Reid-led Congress of 2007-2008. RATS purposely talked down the Bush economy and instituted damaging legislation in their EEEVIL--and ultimately successful--Jihad fer Power!!

And the braindead Obamabot RAT-MORONS cheered him oin every step of the way...

No argument there, ma'am...Dubyuh ultimately signed whatever KRAP Pelosi/Reid put into law (I don't believe the RATS passed anything significant over Bush's veto, did they??) and I hold Dubyuh personally-responsible fer hiring Hank Paulson and then letting Paulson drive the American economy over the cliff with his Keynesian solutions to our economy that was already over-burdened with outta control Fed spending (authorized by Bush!!)

This economic malaise can be laid directly of the feet of BOTH the RATS and the Milquetoast Moderate RINOS, but we gotta at least agree that our economic woes are a direct result of misguided DeeCee intervention in the free market system, right?

If you or I do it, then yes, you're right.

If the government does it, it becomes "fiscal policy."

Since the government decides what is legal and what is not, anything they do automatically becomes legal.

When the govt steals the peoples money. It makes it harder for them to be charitable and help the poor. You see individuals can see who really needs help and help them if they are able or willing. The govt taking our money and making people jump through hoops and paperwork and lines. They can't ferret out the sponges. It is the govts job to give us an equal playing field. It isn't their job to take from the productive by force and give to the lazy. That is a task for individuals to do. When the state takes it over that is not the same thing.

He rebutted your opinion with a Bible quote, now if your opinion is true you should be able to easily find the quote that backs it up. Another opinion is not in order here.

2 Thessalonians 3:6 But we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you withdraw from every brother who walks disorderly and not according to the tradition which he[a] received from us. 7 For you yourselves know how you ought to follow us, for we were not disorderly among you; 8 nor did we eat anyone’s bread free of charge, but worked with labor and toil night and day, that we might not be a burden to any of you, 9 not because we do not have authority, but to make ourselves an example of how you should follow us. 10 For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: If anyone will not work, neither shall he eat. 11 For we hear that there are some who walk among you in a disorderly manner, not working at all, but are busybodies. 12 Now those who are such we command and exhort through our Lord Jesus Christ that they work in quietness and eat their own bread.

The "tradition" = Christianity

The "bread" = Jesus body that each person accepts or rejects individually.

The "word" = spreading the Gospel so that others may learn the "tradition", do his own "works" and have his own "bread".

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Paul was trying to build a church while suffering severe persecution. He used code words, aka "Shibboleth", when he communicated.

Original Song Title: "Beverly Hills"

"Liberal Shill"

Where I come from isn't all that great
My automobile is a piece of crap
In a few hours, smoked a pack
And the rich will never pay for me to get my health back

I didn't ever go to school
Because I didn't think it was cool
Why should I?
I blame the rich for having nothing in my pocket

Liberal shill
That's what I want to be (Gimme Gimme, Gimme Gimme)
Bein' a liberal shill

Liberal Shill
Livin' off the backs of the rich (Gimme Gimme, Gimme Gimme)
Bein' a liberal shill

Look at all those CEOs
They're all so healthy and clean
When the housemaids scrub the floors
They get the spaces in between

I wanna live a life like that
I wanna be just like a queen
Gimme a piece of the pie
'cause I'm Lucysmommy'

Liberal shill
That's what I want to be (Gimme Gimme, Gimme Gimme)
Bein' a liberal shill

Liberal Shill
Republicans are bunch of 'racist pigs' (Gimme Gimme, Gimme Gimme)
Bein' a liberal shill

The truth is I don't stand a chance
I can't read, ain't got no skills and no health
But that's what SSDI is for.

No I don't work
I'm called a no-class communist demoncrat
And it will always be that way
I might as well enjoy my life
while I wait for someone else's pay.

Liberal shill
That's what I want to be (Gimme Gimme, Gimme Gimme)
Bein' a liberal shill

Liberal Shill
Living like a socialist pig (Gimme Gimme, Gimme Gimme)

I've had to deal with this in my own family...my g-son to be exact. I found the best way to explain 'socialism' to him was the story about the waitress and her ($5) tip, and the homeless dude outside.

The customer passed a homeless man outside the restaurant, he went inside and sat down. His waitress came over and he noticed she was wearing an Obama pin, so he asked her if she was a Socialist...she said no. So after he finished eating, he tried to explain to her what Obama meant by "sharing the wealth". He told the waitress that she had just earned herself a $5 tip, but he wasn't going to give it to her but give it to the homeless dude outside...and spread the wealth. She said that it wasn't fair, but he said that is exactly what you will get with Obama, your hard earned dollars will go to those who did not earn it!
