6 months into The Donald’s presidency I noticed all of our empty business buildings ceased to exist and the nearest big city closest to us (Huntsville Al) is going through a huge boom especially in the small business sector.

you need to confront all the data when you have it if you want to establish a pattern. a cherrypicked point, or even a handful of cherrypicked ones just don't. you gotta deal with it, man

revisions are literally the only thing that can support your claim

your charts don't support the pattern you claim, and that's not changing

not the story and i understand why you are trying to make it the story

you "understand" that confronting the actual data would be devastating to your position

completely irrelevant. you know why, right?

oh, i know why

because they decisively rebut the "pattern" you claim from looking at just the 2011 benchmarking

quote:
the evidence was already there as noted in the data/charts. the assessments years after the fact matter none.

the actual article you pasted word for word here without even summarizing or highlighting any key aspect was literally an assessment years after the fact

oh, but it's the only one that matters now? lol, just lol

lmaoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

so, i'm guessing that although i am offering to fricking gift-wrap it for you, you're not interested in looking at the results of all the benchmarks on that 2009/2010 data, because the single 2011 rebenchmarking tells you all you "need" to know?

and that the monthly revisions aren't important, either?

despite the fact that you cited a cherrypicked handful of that type of datapoints as support for what you laughably call a "trend"?

wow, just wow. that's some truly cowardly shite

no you don't and that's a stupid response

quote:
cherrypicked

there we go.

i already responded to this point. obama and crew did not know the future revisions. they went in front of the media, spouted numbers everyone knew was nonsense and never owned up to the downward revisions later. in fact they're STILL trying to take credit for the current economic upswing. i've given you all kinds of evidence. industry observers and people on this board have been telling you the same thing. i'm sorry you can't accept it.

you are wrong. i've already explained this.

quote:

obligatory nuh unh. you are wrong

quote:

usual distraction from the actual point

quote:

because they have nothing to do with the numbers the wh was putting out initially. good grief i'm having to explain this to a toddler

quote:
the actual article you pasted word for word

it was multiple articles by multiple authors

quote:
without even summarizing or highlighting any key aspect

i can't dumb this down any further for you. at some point, it's just you

quote:

what the frick difference does that make? none whatsoever

quote:

you realize i've already addressed this right? the "rebenchmarking" proves the point. it brings the numbers in line with what everyone was expecting initially that obama was contradicting
