The next new excuse for slowing economy: THE FLU



Major Flu Outbreak Threatens to Slow Economy Further
One of the worst flu seasons in a decade is putting further strains on an already sluggish U.S. economy as companies get slammed with increased health care costs and lower productivity from widespread worker absences.
Obama's cheerleaders in the press have given us all sorts of reasons why the end of the recession, back in 2009, four years ago, wasn't followed by a strong recovery like other post-recession bounce-backs.

Having used every excuse in the book:
  • George W. Bush,
  • Tax breaks,
  • Arab Spring,
  • Japanese earthquake,
  • Globalization,
  • George W. Bush,
  • Automation technologies,
  • Eurozone crisis,
  • Republican House,
  • ATM usage,
  • George W. Bush,
  • The Weather,
  • Bad luck,
  • Super PAC ad spending ,
  • Lack of stimulus money,
  • George W. Bush,
  • The Tea Party,
  • Unmanned airport ticket kiosks,
  • Oil speculators,
  • Underestimation of economic crisis,
  • George W. Bush,
  • Businesses not expanding,
  • Americans being soft and lazy,
  • Fox News,
  • Energy companies not getting behind…algae,
And now ... THE FLU! 

Keep one thing firmly in mind as you see the press spin and whirl for your entertainment.  Whatever happens, if it's bad .... IT'S NOT OBAMA'S FAULT.
