June Manufacturing Numbers Prove it’s Democrat Policies – Not the Message – That Need Pivoting
Poor Manufacturing Performance Exposes New Fragility on Top of Already Ailing and Weak Economy DC DEMOCRATS STILL DON’T GET IT: Facing tough re-election battles, but with no evidence of economic relief in sight, President Obama and Washington Democrats are attempting to ‘pivot’ to a jobs message as their policies continue to cause little to no economic recovery: “OBAMA AND SENATE DEMS PLAN PIVOT TO JOBS: Senate Democrats hope they now have ‘checked the box’ on debt reduction and can move to an agenda focused on job creation and economic growth, through a combination of spending and tax cuts. “Dems want to change the subject fast, and polls show the need to talk more about jobs. Party officials say jobs will be their key message in August, followed by Hill action after Labor Day. Many Democrats fear the budget fights of this year have distracted from the issue that will be central to voters in the fall of 2012 – and officials want to get Paul Krugman off their backs.” (Mike Allen, “DEMS PLAN PIVOT TO JOBS: Transportation, infrastructure, tax breaks on fall agenda – New Michael Meehan firm – NYT creates Political Desk – Alison Starling, NBC’s Peter Alexander engaged,”Politico, 8/2/2011)MADE IN WASHINGTON, DC: Poor numbers in the manufacturing sector for June prove that what the Democrats in Washington claim is just a short-term glitch in economic recovery, may very well be a long-term trend that will lead the economy to spiral further out of control:
“The U.S. manufacturing sector showed scant signs of recovery in July, according to data released Monday by the Institute for Supply Management, while price pressures eased further.
“The ISM’s manufacturing purchasing managers’ index fell to 50.9 in July from 55.3 in June. Readings above 50 indicate expansion. Economists surveyed by Dow Jones Newswires had expected the July PMI to slip to 54.6.” (Kathleen Madigan, “Manufacturing Growth Is Muted,”Wall Street Journal, 8/1/2011)
