ALF Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Ex-Obama adviser warns of a potential repeat of the financial crisis New York (CNN Business)Joe Biden could inherit an even more disastrous economy than Barack Obama did when he won the White House during the 2008 financial meltdown. "Whoever is coming in there in January 2021 might be facing worse conditions than in 2009, as hard as that is to believe," Austan Goolsbee, who helped guide Obama through the Great Recession, told CNN Business. Goolsbee, who chaired the president's Council of Economic Advisors in the aftermath of that crisis, is worried that the fragile economic recovery will stall if the worsening pandemic isn't quickly brought under control. This is really playing with fire. They must get the spread of the virus under control. That's what almost every other country has done." FORMER OBAMA ADMINISTRATION ECONOMIST AUSTAN GOOLSBEE "That will tank the economy -— just like it tanked it before," Goolsbee said in the interview. A worsening economy would cause countless companies and small businesses to collapse, forcing already-hurting banks to suffer massive losses. "It could cause a financial crisis," said Goolsbee, currently a professor at the University of Chicago's Booth School of Business. "We could be back into conditions like the 2008 financial crisis." https://www.cnn.com/2020/07/26/business/austan-goolsbee-coronavirus-economy-recession/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo_Gal Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Pent up demand still is my guess. ? This had expectations at 7%, every other article I read had the expectations at 6.5%. ?♂️ I chose this article because it wasn't "yeah but we are all gonna diiiiiiiiiieeeeee" as an intro. Durable-goods orders climb 7.3% in June as auto maker surge offsets Boeing weakness The numbers: Orders for durable goods lasting at least three years rose strongly in June for the second straight month after historic declines in the early spring, but the momentum might be hard to sustain in the wake of more coronavirus cases and somewhat tighter government restrictions. Orders climbed 7.3% last month, the government said Monday. Wall Street economists had expected a 7% increase. </snip> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALF Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 America's economy just had its worst quarter on record New York (CNN Business)The US economy contracted by 32.9% between April and June, its worst drop on record, the Bureau of Economic Analysis said Thursday. Business ground to a halt during the pandemic lockdown in the spring of this year, and America plunged into its first recession in 11 years, putting an end to the longest economic expansion in US history. A recession is commonly defined as two consecutive quarters of declining gross domestic product — the broadest measure of the economy. Between January and March, GDP declined by 5%. The GDP drop was nearly four times worse than during the peak of the financial crisis, when GDP fell 8.4% in the fourth quarter of 2008. Quarterly GDP numbers are expressed as an annualized rate. This means that the economy didn't actually contract by a third from the first quarter to the second. The annualized rate measures how much the economy would grow or shrink if conditions were to persist for 12 months. But by either measure, the second quarter is still the worst on record. https://www.cnn.com/2020/07/30/economy/us-economy-2020-second-quarter/index.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I can easily debunk or refute when I disagree, I will. If I just say "If you're posting from the NY Times I can't take you seriously," I really didn't advance my own opinion/cause at all. So while I know our entire MSM is hot garbage. I'll just continue to point out why. The only people that continue to talk about sources they feel are legitimate and want to silence the rest are leftists. They want us to be China. Its why they never criticize them. They really think we should be run like China. Censorship. Crony Socialism. Religious oppression. Leftist wish list. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
