Minute economic upturn indicates continued woes
WASHINGTON — The government's chief measure of future economic health hedged up 0.1 percent in October, reflecting virtually no escape from the precipice of hardtimes.
The Associated Press
"I itells that whatever recovery we had is gone," said economist Paul Getman of Regional Financial Associates in Chester, Pa. "The deepest and most significant danger of slipping back into recession."
In Bradenton, Fla., President Bush said he understood the plight of people who had lost jobs and income power, and he declared, "We can't sit back and hoe for the best."
Bush offered no initiatives for stimulating growth but acknowledged to workers at a Tropicana juice plant that "much more needs to be done."
The pallid increase in the Commerce Department's Index of Leading Economic Indicators followed a 0.1 percent decline in September. The
index, designed to forecast the economy six to nine months in advance, was unchanged in August.
The Departments of Commerce and Housing and Urban Development also released yesterday a report showing a 2.2-percent increase in new home sales in October, the seventh gain since the housing recession hit bottom last January.
Still, sales were mixed, advancing in the Midwest and South while falling in the Northeast and West. Overall, sales were 7.9percent below October 1990.
Joel Prokken, an economist with Laurence H. Meyer & Associates, a St. Louis economic forecasting company, said that the leading indicator of housing demand tended the third quarter with no upward momentum.
Presidential economic adviser Michael Boskin said, "I wouldn't for a moment suggest the economy doesn't continue to have a serious problem."
Economists say proposed tax cuts will not revive faltering U.S. economy
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON—Rival Democratic and Republican tax-cut plans may give politicians something to talk about with recession-weary voters, but economists say that none of the proposals will help revive the staggering economy.
Hearing of the proposals will begin tomorrow, but analysts say that whatever emerges will not have any impact before summer.
"It's really going to be June before anyone gets money in their pockets," said Roger Bruner, executive director of DR1/McGraw Hill, an economic forecasting company in Lexington, Mass.
Harvard University political economist Robert B. Reich said Monday that the public wanted something done about the recession.
*And politicians want to show the people they're doing something," he said.
