Americans are more confident about the economy than they've been in more than five years, according to two index readings released Tuesday.
In both cases, the measures of economic strength are buoyed not by how Americans think the economy looks now, but by where they see it going.
The Conference Board reported that its closely watched consumer confidence index improved this month, from 69 in April to 76.2 in May.
That's the strongest reading since February 2008, when the index reading came in at 76.4 (on a scale on which 1985 levels are pegged at 100).
i'm going so far a to say those who are not doing as well blame your republican politicians, they are the ones blocking everything the Pres. has offered to put you back to work, get unemployment longer it's ashame they cause the problems that caused yiou your problems and they won't even help you recover.
Pres. is not the one voting no on everything, running around talking about not helping you it's republicans doing this to us, wake up.
Both indexes combine Americans' estimations of current economic conditions and in which direction they see the nation's economy headed. The data show Americans to be far more optimistic than they are satisfied about the economy. The Conference Board, for example, reports that its present situation index is at only 66.7, but its expectations index is far higher, at 82.4.
and the right wing keeps telling you how bad it is how Pres. is running the country, those that hear them are those of the clinging to kind, all but the truth, keep those guns you'll need them once you realize who really has been screwing with your lives and it's not the Pres.
