9.8 ...Unemployment

[Lumpy 1]

Sheez ... that's what 4 years of Democrats controlling the purse strings gets you...

Well that and over 14 trillion in national debt..

---------------------------

In a potentially serious setback for the U.S. economy, hiring unexpectedly stalled in November while the nation's unemployment rate jumped to 9.8%, reversing a pattern of slow but steady improvement in the prospects for American workers.

The grim report released Friday by the Labor Department flew in the face of strong job growth in October and a slew of largely positive economic indicators in recent days. And it called into question the belief of most economists that the recovery from the worst recession in a generation was gaining momentum.

Old news is old. Still funny though. Obama is a flop.

 

[The T]

Their excuse? We are at the Winter of the Summer Of Recovery...Republicans WON the House.

 

[Rozman]

It's on the list of things to do folks......But first we have to look into Don't ask don't tell.Then we need to make sure all the illegals who crossed over with the kiddies in tow or had them later on are granted amnesty then are given a fully paid college education thanks to Uncle Sam or the taxpayers take your pick.Then we need to make sure Americans are eating correctly.Then at some point this administration will get around to looking into letting companies know what there energy costs and health care costs and taxes will be for the next year so these companies can plan.

This administration could do what's needed to get people working but they would rather just dick around and do other things instead.

I beg your most humble pardon! He'll (obie wan) will have you to know that the country is still headed in the "right direction."

If they gave this man the Nobel prize for doing nothing really.Can you imagine what he's gonna get for running up a debt into the trillions and having absolutely nothing to show for it.Unemployment for arguments sake is really into double digits,The housing market a shambles,Iran same old same old.North Korea and South Korea coming to blows.

I could go on but what's the point the Left think this guy is doing an outstanding job as well as the media.

 

[Trajan]

meanwhile Germany's unemployment rate in June 2009 was 7.7%, last month?

wait for it...

I said wait for it damn it!!!



6.6%.

So, with employment increasing, let's cut a bunch of people one unemployment loose. And make sure that nothing gets done in the way of projects that might repair our badly worn out infrastructure. The Republican plan seems to be to destroy anything that President Obama proposes, no matter what the cost to the nation. And if we have a nation left, give what is left to their very wealthy benefactors.

How will the GOP's Summer of Recovery look if Bank of America goes the way of Enron by Memorial Day?

"In an October 2009 interview with Computerworld, Mr. Assange said that he had obtained copious amounts of data from a Bank of America executive’s hard drive.

"From the Computerworld piece:

“'At the moment, for example, we are sitting on 5GB from Bank of America, one of the executive’s hard drives,” he said.

“'Now how do we present that? It’s a difficult problem. We could just dump it all into one giant Zip file, but we know for a fact that has limited impact. To have impact, it needs to be easy for people to dive in and search it and get something out of it.'”

Wiki's Summer Storm?

Actually we are over $15 trillion

U.S. National Debt Clock : Real Time

Add the debt and def together and it's $15.1 + Trillion

Check that link and then try to wonder why more people don't want to shrink government.

Where is your holiday humor. If you tell a guy you are laying him off in a few months, do you think he will work for you while he waits to get booted? See ya in 2011 !

Shrinking government would mean less tax collections, would mean more National debt. We can either hire more government workers, or give everybody a massive tax cut.

Any specifics on what this admin could do to get people working?
Aside from the mythological tax cuts and deregulation.

I do agree that this admin AND the congress (both sides) have sat on their butts about the jobs issue though.

Yes they do, they buy things with their salary just like private industry workers.

How much do we hand out in unimployment beneifts? When that ends the econonomy will take a hit equal to that amount in consumer spending..

How much does the health care industry make annually off of medicare and medicaid?
Umm virtually the same amount we spend on those programs. Lots of medical workers would be liad off if we closed those programs.

The FACT is for every dollar spent on social programs aroungd 90% rolls immediately back into the pockets of US businesses.

Military spending does not roll nearly as high of a percentage back into the US economy though.

really? then we should be living large, whats the hoopla about? Lets have the gov. just provide never ending unemployment benefits. Right?

I have to ask; do you know what the term wealth creation or generation means and what a transfer payment is?
