US Big Leisure and Entertainment Corps 4Q 2012 Earnings Down 3%

I found 11 US Leisure and Entertainment Corps filing with the SEC, which have already released their 4Q 2012 earnings and which also generated Adjusted After-tax Net Income or Net Loss of more than $100 mil in either the 4Q 2012 or in the 4Q 2011.

These 11 US Leisure and Entertainment Corps generated Total Adjusted After-tax Net Income of $4,050 mil in the 4Q 2012, down 3% from the 4Q 2011.

These poor earnings results in the US Leisure and Entertainment industry points to the fact that the US economy is struggling and needs short-term fiscal stimulus.  And so where is the obstinate, non-compromising US Congress now headed?.....for just the opposite.....substantial across-the-board, immediate US government cuts.    

Below is the Ongoing, Adjusted After-tax Net Income of these 11 US Leisure and Entertainment Corps for both the 4Q 2012 and the 4Q 2011.
