^When the numbers look good, the GOPer's shout "cooking the books". You are just another right wing nutjob that would love nothing more than to see this country fail, under this President. Since he took office, the numbers have been going up, and it kills you guys.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average passed 18,000 for the first time on Dec. 23.
At mid-day, the Dow Jones was at an all-time high of 18,044, up 85 points, The 0.5 percent jump was triggered by the news that the U.S. economy expanded in the third quarter at its fastest pace in more than a decade.
The gross domestic product grew at an annual rate of 5 percent during the July-September quarter, according to the third estimate by the Bureau of Economic Analysis. In the second quarter, real GDP increased 4.6 percent.
"With the third estimate for the third quarter, both personal consumption expenditures (PCE) and nonresidential fixed investment increased more than previously estimated," the bureau reported.
The increase in real GDP in the third quarter primarily reflected positive contributions from PCE, nonresidential fixed investment, federal government spending, exports, state and local government spending, and residential fixed investment. Imports, which are a subtraction in the calculation of GDP, decreased.
The percentage uptick in real GDP reflected a downturn in imports, an upturn in federal government spending, and an acceleration in PCE that were partly offset by a downturn in private inventory investment and decelerations in exports, in state and local government spending, in residential fixed investment, and in nonresidential fixed investment.
The GDP estimate released today is based on more complete source data than were available for the "second" estimate issued last month, the Bureau of Economic Analysis said.
