means the double dip recession is here.

Thank the Republicans. They blocked the jobs bill, ensuring that the demand side stays choked off until after the election.

Face it, Republicans hate Americans and want the country to fail.

If analysts expected $1.50 per share and the company delivered $1.00, that would show up as -33.3% even if the company grew in both revenue and earnings.

They just don't see that the Wealth is Still Trickling Up and as the wealth dries up-they'll go down with everybody else.
Yet, they too still fight for the 1%
