(Wasn't sure if this should go in debate or not, but if it must be moved there than it must) Alright, yes I realize that the economy varies greatly depending on the country you are from, but this will be on a discussion on all of them, and try to back up your answers with facts, not opinions. I will go ahead and say what I think: American Economy: Getting better, slowly. The economic statistics are clear to me, the economy of the U.S. is getting better, unemployment below 8%, stocks since before the Great Recession, housing priced stabilizing after the bubble burst four years ago, etc. E.U. economy: Could definitely be better, from what I've seen, not looking too good in places like Spain that have a 50% youth unemployment rate, that kind of stuff Chinese economy: Slowing down, though while it is still faster than just about any nation out there, it is chugging along compared to its previous rates of expansion. Overall world economy: Not looking too great thanks to the E.U debt crisis and the Chinese slowdown Alright, now you don't have to say what you think about all of these, I just follow economic stuff extremely closely.
And you sir, do not listen to anything other than pessimistic sources, I get my information from as many sources as possible. Though while the recovery IS slow, it is happening, and it is getting better.
Yes I know I'm not perfectly unbiased, I'm trust trying to say at least I try. And my 'bias' is not the topic of this thread. The economy is.
Getting a little off topic here guys. Instead of simply claiming the opposite, contribute to the discussion and show why you claim the opposite like Snow has.
War of the words. Imbecilic in this case. Until I can feel a change, I don't proceed to claim that there is any. Though relaible sources can convince me that there is a possibility.
The american Economy is getting better, not quickly but its getting better none the less. The Australian Economy however is a mixed blessing. We have a ok(ish) economy compaired to the rest of the world but our leaders are pathetic. Gillard and Abbot are as useless as each other and can never agree over the smallest arguement or question.
The way I see it, in Mexico, things will cost twice as much in the future. While salaries remain the same.
Thread Update 2013: Things seem to be getting "better", in the sense that unemployment continues to fall and the stock market continues to become more profitable. Businesses are hiring and services are getting back to normal. The economy, at least for the time being (in the United States) is stable and doing alright. That all being said, Europe seems a whole lot less stable especially because of all the government budget slashing to the point of basically crippling entire nations. I worry that american politicians are foolishly being lured in by the false promises of austerity and "pro-business" policies that ultimately cost more money than they save and cripple small business at the expense of large corporations.
Here's an interesting article I came across that might be beneficial to this discussion: http://www.cracked.com/article_20454_5-scary-myths-you-probably-believe-about-economy.html
I highly approve of this link - things are bad, yes, but not the specific things that people think sometimes.
