Where is the US economy headed?

@H2O MAN,

And with your tinfoil hat, you are the only one capable of seeing past his deception.

@parados,

All while the US economy continues to grow as the GOP continues to create handicaps to pass legislation that would help small businesses.

Wow, what a thinker!

@cicerone imposter,

The US economy continues to shrink and Obama needs to be held accountable for the damage he has caused.

@parados,

What is so amazing about that chart is how Obama was able to turn around GW Bush's Great Recession after the first quarter in office.

I call it a "miracle." watersquirt thinks our economy is getting worse.

@realjohnboy,

John, My funds excluding my bond funds have increased over 10% as of last Friday. Me worry? As long as our overall economy shows strengths in home buying/selling, increasing manufacturing at home, and my observations about how most in the leisure industry continues to grow, I have faith that the US economy will continue to grow.

I just returned from a cruise vacation in Portugal. AMA Waterways is fully booked for this year, and over 80% of their customers are Americans. Because of the flooding of Douro River, and we could cruise for only two days out of the seven, the owners of the company have given us 100% full credit for a future cruise.

The flights going and returning from Portugal were all fully booked.

Hotel occupancy rates in the San Francisco Bay Area is over 85%, and more hotels are in the planning.

There's good news out there, but the media seems to favor bad economic news over the good stuff happening. People's perception seems to lean towards "it's getting worse."

I see the cup as half full.

Movie Attendance Likely To Drop In 2013, And Beyond: Report

By DAVID LIEBERMAN, Executive Editor | Tuesday April 9, 2013 @
Bond analysis firm Fitch Ratings offers its bracing analysis of the movie exhibition industry a week ahead of theater owners’ annual CinemaCon trade show in Las Vegas. The company forecasts a “modest” decline in 2013 ticket sales and long-term challenges that should “cause concern” for lenders.

@H2O MAN,

Regal Movie Theaters announce they don't give a damn about their employees.
Employers that don't care about their employees usually don't care about their customers. I doubt I will go to a Regal theater any time soon.

Obama has made it clear that he doesn't give a damn about Americans.

Obama's actions and policies make it clear that he does not want the economy to improve.

It is amusing how many failing businesses blame Obamacare.
The movie theaters have been in decline for years!

It's a wonder watersquirt didn't notice the decline during GW Bush's tenure.

Chiller theater: Movie attendance sinks to 1995 level

Hollywood’s financial future is scarier than anything shown on the big screen.

Attendance at the movies last year was the lowest since 1995, and per-person attendance fell to a 25-year low — in particular among younger consumers who frequent the cinema most often, a new report shows.

More home entertainment options, better gadgetry and a shrinking theatrical-release window were among the reasons given by Goldman Sachs analysts Drew Borst and Fred Krom.

Even more frightening, rising ticket prices — the lone driver of box-office revenue growth for the past decade — may be slowing as fans opt out of higher-priced formats such as 3D. Since January, 3D ticket sales have dropped from 45 percent to 34 percent of the box office.

Do you think that the Dow is an indicator of how the economy is doing under a republican president?
