You forgot to add that LameStream Media can't hold a candle to any of the above, nor are the MM fit to shine their boots.

I think things are getting better. I can't be the only one who sees more people eating out and in stores. But that's a tad unscientific so I decided to see if more or less people are going to Las Vegas since the recession began. I chose Vegas because we've all heard that the town was hurt really bad by the recession.

Below is the number of visitors per year to Las Vegas from 2006 through 2011. I started with 2006 because times were still good in 2006 so it's a decent barometer of the good times in Vegas tourism.

Las Vegas Visitor Volume:


2006 - 38,914,889


2007 - 39,196,761


2008 - 37,481,552

2009 - 36,351,469

2010 - 37,335,436


2011 - 38,928,708

Just teasing...

Even at worst of times LV business was only off 7.3%. The way they were bitching you would have thought it was down at least 50%.

Too bad they can't turn the bodies upside down and get more dough out of them.

Not the best barometer, NJ. I have to think the large majority of people who frequent LV are pretty well heeled and have the discretionary income to spend/lose. Bad economies usually impact people on the lower economic scales first and the hardest.

Rare insight into economics by a conservative.

That's a fair observation, Boxcar.

Yours too, Mack.

Looks like the issue of contraception is taking it's toll

...The firm’s poll finds that one of the most important factors powering Obama’s gains against likely GOP nominee Mitt Romney has been the President’s improving numbers among unmarried women, a key pillar of the present and future Democratic coalition.

Among this group, Obama now leads Romney by 65-30 — and there’s been a net 18-point swing towards the President among them:

The full picture shows when the unemployment rate began to climb, and shortly after Obama took office, began to decline. Cause and effect, or in other words, in case I have not mentioned this obvious fact before.



Repeat after me.
