But you can't point to any specific reasons WHY. The fact is that things are starting to improve, the question is WHY.

I have explained why and you chose to ignore it. That's fine but don't keep asking a question because you don't like the answer.

Spending is up. Durable goods is up. Housing is up. employment is up.

Here are ALL of your posts on this thread. You describe some of the results, but nothing about what's driving those results.

You go to a lot of effort to make no point. I said

Well I think we have found level and are rising. The economy took a hit but when we say economy what we are talking about is spending. I think we had the initial crash followed by a regrouping by families and companies to the new realities. As this happened we hit bottom and have grown more slowly because there hasn't been any temporary boom like we have seen before to help pull us out. Things like the .com industry and the more recent housing boom. We are growing and much slower than we would like.

Geez we had years of people pulling equity dollars out of their homes and spending billions like drunken sailors. Even when money was that loose unemployment was 6.5%. So for us to be even in this shape without that huge piggy bank we were playing with before is stunning.

You want to claim it is because people feel good about Mitt. Maybe people feel good about getting out of two wars.
