Title: Revisions Show 2007-2009 Recession Deeper Than Thought

(07-29) 05:36 PDT WASHINGTON, (AP) --

The 2007-2009 recession, already in the record books as the worst in the 66 years since the end of World War II, was even worse than previously thought.

From the start of the recession at the end of 2007 to the end in June of 2009, the U.S. economy shrank 5.1 percent. That is 1 percentage point worse than the previous estimate that the recession reduced total output during that period by 4.1 percent.

The new estimates emerged from the annual revision of economic data prepared by the Commerce Department's Bureau of Economic Analysis and released Friday.

Among the previous 10 postwar recessions, output in only two dropped by more 3 percent. In the 1957-58 recession, the economy contracted 3.7 percent. And during the 1973-1975 downturn, the economy fell 3.2 percent from the start of the recession to the end.

The government attributed the bigger declines in output in part to weaker consumer spending and business investment than previously estimated.

By year, the government's new figures show that the economy took a much bigger hit in 2009, when output shrank 3.5 percent. The previous estimate had shown a decline of 2.5 percent that year.

In 2008, the new estimate shows the economy contracted by 0.3 percent. The previous estimate had indicated that output was unchanged for that year compared with 2007.

The last recession began in December 2007 and lasted until June 2009. Though the economy has been growing since then, growth has been subpar. And the unemployment rate has remained elevated; it's now 9.2 percent.

The revisions showed that growth in 2010 was a bit stronger than previously estimated. They put growth for all of 2010 at 3 percent, up from a previous estimate that the economy grew 2.9 percent last year.

The revisions to the country's gross domestic product, the total output of goods and services, used more complete data for such items as consumer and business spending.

The government's annual revisions are released each July, along with its first estimate of growth for the April-June quarter of the current year.

"Americans are confused. We were told, if we killed Afghani peasants in big numbers, we would be safe and free. We then were told, if we do this in Iraq and Pakistan, in Yemen and in Libya, we will be safe and our nation, secure. Instead, we are heading towards total collapse due to political hysteria coupled with our elites absolutely refusing to pay war taxes on anything! So take that, America! Bin Laden spent less than a million dollars while we spent more than a trillion in this lopsided war we are so decisively losing.

And it's going to get more difficult to send $3 billion a year to Israel, while US kids starve...

" July 29, 2011 -- The United States on Thursday reiterated its support for a strong military in Israel as Defense Minister Ehud Barak held talks with top leaders in Washington. Barak met separately with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and newly installed Defense Secretary Leon Panetta. Both meetings were closed to the press, with officials offering general statements. Panetta stressed his "strong commitment" to defense relations with Israel and to "ensuring that Israel maintains its qualitative military edge," Pentagon spokesman George Little said....

LMAO!

You can't resist pushing the propaganda (marked in red, below), eh, Baghdad Bri-Bri?

Here's a dose of reality (in blue).

It used to be the leftists that had bumper-stickers that said things like "Question Authority.' Today they follow slogans from 1984:

War is peace.
Freedom is slavery.
Ignorance is strength.

They blindly LOVE Big Brother. They believe competition, pride & profiting from ones labor, are evil things to be banished.

Stephen King observed, "The beauty of religion mania is that it has the power to explain everything... [so] logic can be happily tossed out the window.

This describes socialists. They will ignore logic and "common sense." They will ignore REALITY. Because THEY are religious zealots...

Your boy can't even do basic math:

Year 1950 1984 2004 Change 2004/1992
----------------------------------------

GNP (Billions of Current Dollars)
----------------------------------------
1929 103.8 103.4 104.4 +0.97%

That's actually a change of .06%

He further rests his premise on the excise of external interest payments that the US makes in measuring GDP versus GNP. That was because the interest paid on the national debt was distorting GNP UPWARD - as his own chart above shows - and thus giving an inaccurately high reading on output.

Yet, oddly, he makes the opposite claim that removing those payments were, in fact, to make GDP look MORE POSITIVE than GNP.

Your turn.

No it didn't and you can't provide one contemporaneous source claiming it did.

Obama has played at being a president while enjoying the perks … golf, insanely expensive vacations at tax-payer expense. He has ignored the responsibilities of the job; no plans, no budgets, no alternatives … just finger pointing; making him a complete failure as a president

Michigan's recession started around 2005 in large part due to extreme gasoline prices and the fall off of suv/truck sales.

Yes indeed, our recession started in large part due to Jorge's bastard invasion of Iraq and the resulting spike in oil prices.

And he has the nerve to say Lucysmom desires a return to slavery in the US, when 'he' practices it daily.

Awhile back he recommended reading Richard M. Weaver

From Wikipedia:

Weaver's ideal society was that of the European Middle Ages, when the Roman Catholic Church gave to all an accurate picture of reality and truth (Nash 94). Nominalism emerged in the late Middle Ages, but had few adherents before the 17th century. More generally, Weaver felt that the shift from universal truth and transcendental order to individual opinion and industrialism adversely affected the moral health of Americans.

Nominalism also undermines the concept of hierarchy, which depends entirely on fundamental truths about people. Weaver, in contrast, believed that hierarchies are necessary. He argued that social, gender, and age-related equality actually undermine stability and order. Believing in "natural social groupings" (Young 112), he claimed that it should be possible to sort people into suitable categories without the envy of equality. Using the hierarchical structure of a family as an example, he pointed out that family members accept various duties grounded in "sentiment" and "fraternity," not equality and rights (Young 113). Continuing in this direction, he claimed not to understand the feminist movement, which led women to abandon their stronger connection to nature and intuition for a superficial political and economic equality with men (Young 123).

Weaver maintained that egalitarianism only promoted "[s]uspicion, hostility, and lack of trust and loyalty" (Toledano 270).

That still doesn't explain why they've been lying about our lack of economic growth???? Or was it because of what I said in the first sentence, same BS policies, same BS results!!!!! Just one has an "R" before their name and the other has a "D"......

This describes socialists. They will ignore logic and "common sense." They will ignore REALITY. Because THEY are religious zealots...

THEIR God... is the STATE.

Michigan's recession started around 2005 in large part due to extreme gasoline prices and the fall off of suv/truck sales.

Yes indeed, our recession started in large part due to Jorge's bastard invasion of Iraq and the resulting spike in oil prices.

Michigans problems started way before then..... When you elect politicians with Liberal policies and you have a lot of unions, that's the real reason....-

Partially true. The lardass repuke Gov. Engler set the table for Michigans woes.

BTW, the Michigan gov't is now controlled by the GOP including the Gov., both state houses of Congress and the Supreme Court.

Oh, did I mention that Michigan's unemployment rate for June is the highest it has been since these knuckdraggers took office?

Never swear "allegiance" to anything other than the 'right to change your mind'!

No it didn't and you can't provide one contemporaneous source claiming it did.

I schooled you at LP over this too, asshole.

Release Date: December 12, 2006

The Federal Open Market Committee decided today to keep its target for the federal funds rate at 5-1/4 percent.

Economic growth has slowed over the course of the year, partly reflecting a substantial cooling of the housing market. Although recent indicators have been mixed, the economy seems likely to expand at a moderate pace on balance over coming quarters.

Readings on core inflation have been elevated, and the high level of resource utilization has the potential to sustain inflation pressures. However, inflation pressures seem likely to moderate over time, reflecting reduced impetus from energy prices, contained inflation expectations, and the cumulative effects of monetary policy actions and other factors restraining aggregate demand.

Nonetheless, the Committee judges that some inflation risks remain. The extent and timing of any additional firming that may be needed to address these risks will depend on the evolution of the outlook for both inflation and economic growth, as implied by incoming information.

Voting for the FOMC monetary policy action were: Ben S. Bernanke, Chairman; Timothy F. Geithner, Vice Chairman; Susan S. Bies; Donald L. Kohn; Randall S. Kroszner; Frederic S. Mishkin; Sandra Pianalto; William Poole; Kevin M. Warsh; and Janet L. Yellen. Voting against was Jeffrey M. Lacker, who preferred an increase of 25 basis points in the federal funds rate target at this meeting.

So RINOs using liberal policies (overspending and initiating more entitlement programs) didn't lead to that????

The old "RINO" defense, eh?

Why is it that the GOP seems to have MORE RINOS in it than any other "thing"?

Isn't that what you call the Establishment Republicans----- RINOs, Baby Democrats, Dumbassocrats..... call them what you will, they're just like the Liberals.... not interested in doing what's right for the country just what's right for their wallets......

Because the dummy wife he bought doesn't have sense enough to dump his ass, he thinks that that most other women are just as dumb.

You must be getting her mixed up with your purchased wife.
