"Fed sets optimistic tone on economy" by Jeannine Aversa, Associated Press | August 13, 2009
WASHINGTON - .... The Treasury-buying program’s effectiveness has been questioned on both Wall Street and Capitol Hill, with critics saying it looks like the Fed is printing money to pay for Uncle Sam’s spending binge....
Well, if it LOOKS LIKE, WALKS LIKE, and QUACKS LIKE a DUCK.... it is a DUCK!!!!!!!
The Fed still has firepower in its arsenal....
I'm TIRED of the WAR TERMINOLOGY, aren't you?
How about tools in its kit?
The economy began flashing significant signs of turning a corner.... But dangers still lurk.
Pffft!
Further job losses, sluggish income growth, hits to wealth from tanking home values, and still-hard-to-get credit could make Americans cautious in the months ahead, the Fed said.
So WHERE DID all that bailout money go, huh, 'murka?
The Fed expressed confidence that low rates and other aggressive action will gradually bolster the economy. Even so....
This isn't journalism or reporting; this is SHIT!!!!!!
Against that backdrop, the Fed said inflation is likely to stay “subdued.’’
So they will be CAUGHT by SURPRISE again?
Fed policymakers predicted that idle factories and the weak employment market will make it hard for companies to jack up prices.... because companies are in no rush to hire.
But everything is getting SOO MUCH BETTER, pfft!

I'm tired of them.
The Commerce Department said....
I no longer listen to liars.
signs the recession is ending....
Despite....
pfft!
US consumer demand is starting to revive. The increase was concentrated in a big jump in America’s foreign oil bill from higher volume and world prices.
All that means is the FALLING DOLLAR JACKED UP the COST OF OIL!
Oh, man, the DECEPTIVENESS of the AmeriKan MSM!!!
Still....

"MassMutual cuts additional N.E. jobs" by Todd Wallack | August 13, 2009
MassMutual Financial Group said it has made another round of layoffs within its New England workforce and may let go even more employees next month. Since April, the financial giant has let go of more than 300 workers in New England, or about 5 percent of its workforce. Spokesman Mark Cybulski said the Springfield-based company is considering cutting as many as 185 additional jobs by September.
Cybulski said MassMutual launched an initiative in the spring to streamline the company’s operations and ensure it has the right people in positions to compete as effectively as possible. “We continue to make staffing adjustments that are aligned with or support this initiative,’’ Cybulski said. The firm has roughly 6,000 workers in Springfield and Enfield, Conn. MassMutual reported a $1.1 billion loss in 2008, primarily because of investment losses, while operating earnings fell 40 percent to $1.3 billion.That's why your healthcare premiums are shooting through the stratosphere, Bay-Staters.
