TwoWolves Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Faith in the Euro, within the member states is fading fast. Too many members are close to default and it’s a one size fits all interest rate economy. I'm with an earlier poster that this is a "crack-up boom" underway. There has been a sudden rash of cash laden European buyers in my area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fudge Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 This is the most ridiculous thing I have heard in a long while, and thats saying something. France and Germany GDP between April and June is 0.3% and that means they are out of recession? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A recession is officially deemed over when GDP turns positive for one quarter, even if this is followed by another negative quarter afterward. It's total ******** but that's how it works.

Selling up Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 you guys really need to seek out help.the joy you take in bad news, and the way you get upset about good news is just sad. germany and france achieving some growth is a good thing. If you think a return to the "status quo ante" is desirable then French and German growth is indeed a good thing. If you are hoping that this depression will be severe enough to force fundamental necessary reforms of our financial system and economy (including the bursting of a house price bubble)... AKA short term pain for long term gain... then it ain't such a good thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It reminds me of the Monty Pythons dead parrot sketch. When the shopkeeper knocks the cage and says "There it moved". "No it didn't, that was you pushing the cage". "I did not". "Yes you did".

MOP Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 (edited) It reminds me of the Monty Pythons dead parrot sketch.When the shopkeeper knocks the cage and says "There it moved". "No it didn't, that was you pushing the cage". "I did not". "Yes you did". Yep. The money flood should give McStalin enough of a pump in the government spending part of the GDP equation to give it a positive blip before Christmas. This fudging of the figures will allow him to call an end to the recession. He is only trying to keep the plates spinning until after the election IMO.

enrieb Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 But, but isn't the popular definition of a recession 'negative real economic growth for at least two quarters'. The politicians, mainstream economists and media never admit we are in a recession until growth has been negative for two quarters so how do they know the recession is over until they get two quarters of real growth.

sammysnake Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 The manifestation of lying, is synonymous with our bankrupt lying filthy collective of politicians and state sponsored media throughout Europe Will people stop taking reports from the media about the economy as "proof" or "credible"? The **** s have no interest in your future, your future is not relevant to a despotic system based on rotten money, and you borrowing money. Stop buying products, stop voting, stop. Bring this system to it's knee's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jabberwocky Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Leichtenstein is emerging from recession . We are saved !!!!. So what if France and Germany are emerging from a recession ?. What has that got to do with the price of rice ?. West Germany in the 80's was an economic powerhouse and Italy was an economic mess.
