Sales of new U.S. single-family homes unexpectedly (emphasis mine – GOC) rose in October, scaling their highest level in 10 years amid robust demand across the country, offering a boost to the housing market.
The Commerce Department said on Monday new home sales increased 6.2 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 685,000 units last month. That was the highest level since October 2007. September’s sales pace was revised down to 645,000 units from the previously reported 667,000 units.
There’s that word again: unexpectedly. Remember, back during the Obungler reign all of the bad economic news was “unexpected”. We constantly heard from the Fake News Media about “recovery summers” that “unexpectedly” didn’t happen or “unexpected” low economic growth. The Fake News Media even tried to put a good face on it by telling people who couldn’t afford vacations because of the poor economy to have “staycations”. They just couldn’t believe that the socialist policies of the Obamessiah weren’t working.
Now they can’t believe that the economy under the racist blowhard Trump is actually going great guns so they try to tell us that all the good news is “unexpected” just like Paul Krugman, economist for ENRON, told us the stock market would never recover from election day. Wrong again Paulie. Who woulda ever thunk that less regulation would make the economy take off? Who woulda ever thunk that capitalism worked better than socialism?
When Obumbler was in charge their excuse for a bad quarter was a storm. Under Trump therre were three hurricanes that hit and economic growth was over 3%. Unexpectedly.
The economy is doing far better than under Oblunder and the stock market keeps setting records. Checked out your 401-K lately? The only thing keeping Trump from positive approval ratings is the fake Russian collusion investigation and the constant fake news coming from the Fake News Media. Piegate? GMAFB! Can you believe whether or not Sarah Sanders baked a pecan pie for her family is news? The White House Press Corps does.
Not only do we have the worst political class in history we also have the worst news media in the history of this country.
According to a friend of mine if you think the CNN news is Trump bashing here, the overseas addition is full blown anti- Trump. To bad at one time CNN was the go to news for unbiased reporting.
It’s ironic, the most unbiased news reporting comes from RT Russia Today. They were forced to register as a foreign agent and many in congress want to shut them down.
France 24 is pretty good too.
And it’s all because The Donald wouldn’t let anyone else have 2 scoops…
I want my 2 scoops to be the size of last Saturday’s boobs…
Probably a rhetorical question, but doesn’t Krugman think anybody remembers what he said a year ago?
President Trump keeps this up he win the next election and be in for another 4 years. People will very often vote with their pocket books./ wallets. Then watch the liberals really go full all out batshit crazy and their hair catch on fire. Man.., wouldn’t that be something else to see.
i sincerely hope Always Wrong Krugman pulled every penny out of the stock market when DT was elected. After all, if he didnt, obviously he didnt believe his own bullshit.
