Hey doom and gloomers. Still betting the farm on a recession???

Well, as I suggested 3 months ago in another thread, due to the decreased dollar, there has been a major increase in U.S. exports. And due, in part, to that increase our economy has GROWN nearly 4%... the most in a year! I wonder how the Canadians feel when they buy products that say “Made in the U.S.Aâ€￾!

Moreover, U.S. companies ADDED 100,000+ jobs this month… more than economists had forecast.

Economic growth in the U.S. unexpectedly accelerated in the third quarter as increases in exports, consumer spending and business investment made up for another plunge in home construction.

Gross domestic product grew at an annual rate of 3.9 percent, the most in more than a year, the Commerce Department said today in Washington.

Companies in the U.S. added 106,000 jobs in October, more than economists had forecast, according to a report today from ADP Employer Services.
