Economist: No Job Growth Until March 2010

December 10, 2008 RSS Feed Print

Even after the economy stops shrinking, the economy will not create jobs until March of 2010 and not really move into high great until July 2010, according to Michael Dueker, a senior portfolio strategist at Russell Investments and former research at the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis. (His numbers also show that the economy really didn't crumble until Lehman went under.)

Me: Of this, I have little doubt, especially since we have long-term, run-of-the-mill Democratic spending agenda masking as an economic recovery package.

Obama is an economic illiterate.

You can't make chicken salad out of chicken bleep. Obama's spending orgy is pure economic chicken bleep. As James points out, even Obama's own advisor, Peter Orszag, thinks so.

Cut taxes, cut spending, restart the economy.

Gad, you can't expect Obama and his administration to undo the MESS GWB MADE IN THE PAST 8 YEARS, until at LEAST 2010 - I'd even be grateful if he got a few things squared away and improved by the end of 2012...

Obama is president, not god.
