A slew of it reported on Calculated Risk including increases in manufacturing, car sales, and (though I have no idea why) construction, which is usually depressing in its projections and reporting.

The main cloud remaining is Greece.
So if the economy does start to improve, all of the sudden everybody will be clamoring to own it, just as they're pushing the "not my fault" button right now. Ironically, I think it'll make it more likely that some form of Obama's jobs bill will pass, but scaled down.
Originally posted by KunsooWhy would they pass a "jobs" bill if the economy is improving on it's own? A perfect opportunity for republicans to say "Once the president stopped messing with it, the economy started to come around." Then of course they would follow that up with "The only reason the president stopped messing with it was because we got in his way."
