Anybody notice the use of the word "downturn"?

[Josh_LA]

A very good way to prevent panic (by the MSM), but enough to keep people aware times are getting worse and it's wise to save rather than spend.

Who's up for guess the next euphemisms?

first it was a "slowdown" ... now it is a "downturn" ... next i think will be "turnaround"

When Obama takes office, and in the first half of next year... the mainstream media will be telling us that the economy is turning around or we are in a "turnaround" phase. They'll say that we are coming out of a recession. The market i think will be a bit higher, (maybe around 10,000 or 11,000 on the DOW)... some new phony government numbers will show that the economy is recovering, Obama will be creating new jobs and bailing out main st., sending out stimulus checks, etc.... this will all be the big "turnaround".

After the "turnaround" phase... it will be the "currency crisis" or "dollar devaluation" phase.... at which point, everyone realizes that the economy never turned around or got better, and things are still getting worse.

i also think that the media will use all sorts of analogies to explain why a "turnaround" may be slow, or why it will take a long time to turn around to be fully facing the other direction. They'll say... "the US economy is not like a F16 fighter jet that can turn on a dime... it's a fully loaded 757. Obama is the pilot and he started turning the plane around on a big arching curve". Or maybe references to a big boat... and having Obama turn the wheel over and over again, and eventually, the ship will start it's big arching turn, and will finally be facing the right direction once the turn is complete. but they'll say... "the key is... he's turned the wheel, and the turn has begun... and now it's only a matter of time before the ship is back on course". And Peter Schiff will be writing that Obama is turning the ship in the wrong direction, right into an iceberg or over a waterfall or something that will collapse the currency.

if they say turnaround, they'd be deliberately lying, not that it's not OK, but that'd really speed up distrust in the media.

How 'bout down "shift". Like what the banksters had to do to gain some extra speed as they were leaving the Fed with so much money that they almost stalled out.

 

[LibertyEagle]

The stock market probably WILL pickup after Obama enters office, because of his huge public spending plans on infrastructure. I doubt it will last too long, but I bet we have a spike.

Distrust the magical glowing tube that gives us news from everywhere!?! Your insane!

With all the flat screen displays and what not now a days, can I still call the TV a tube or more affectionately a "boob tube"?

no, I call it a boob WINDOW.

Political correct guide for the Great Depression II
homeless = 'residentially flexible'
poor = 'economically disadvantaged'
hungry = 'calorically challenged'

and sum up/shut up any non-socialist idea = RACIST, HITLERIAN.

 

[TruthisTreason]

Back when Jimmy Carter was president, his anti-inflation czar, Alfred Kahn, was chastised for his excessive frankness when he spoke about a possible recession. So in subsequent speeches he referred to the threatened event as a "banana".

Well there's the:

1.) Carl Rove school of Manipulation

2.) 90/100 Political Statistics percentage pandering University

3.) Finally, Herman Goering Socialist School

ALL in ALL...

1.) Unpatriotic if you object or question!

2.) 90% of whatever is wrong, can be made to say right, 100% of the time with Silver-Tongued Politicians

3.) Finally, Denounce anyone, for any reason, who's against government actions

I agree. People will shift into industry and infrastructure companies. This is from a post I made Monday morning. Just some predictions.
