I am Embarrassed to be an American Today

[guno]

When are you going to begin relaying some information that suggests that the economy is better now than it was 7 years ago?

If only there was any information to that effect to relay. The job market still isn't so great.

For educated people with skills it is, the economy has changed, unskilled labor is no longer here , people need life long learning to gain the skills needed in the new economy. The skills needed today will be obsolete in a few years and new kills will be required

No they aren't. I am educated and skilled in the medical field. The jobs that are out there are part time, temporary and are not paying what they should. Also, there are just not a LOT of jobs out there. Like I said, the entire help wanted section is not even half a page for my area.

Strange, here in NC plenty of full time jobs with benefits for skilled people in the medical and engineering field, in fact I get calls daily from employers and recruiters , Not just locally but all over the country for Engineering. After the first of the year I am going back to work at a very good salary, although we do have a large medical and biotech industry in Raleigh Durham, also Engineering and software a lot of jobs go begging , the community colleges are going full bore to train people in these industries.

Well, fortunately for me, I posted a link that backs my claims. A lot of jobs out there are either temporary or part time. Sorry, that's a fact. If it hasn't affected you yet, wait, it will.

Things were slow here for a few years , but it has come back very strong 4.5% unemployment in my area. Overall in NC it is 5.5 % and it was up to 11% during the recession

Yes, but the problem is people are only getting part time jobs and are therefore still relying on social services for support in some cases. Also, the wages they are offering are crappy. They know that people need jobs, and employers are totally taking advantage of that fact.

For Most Americans, Wages Aren’t Just Stagnating — They’re Falling

Not surprisingly, this corresponds to many of the occupations that are adding the most jobs. As competition increases within those fields, employers can squeeze workers on wages. Outside of registered nurses, the occupations with the highest job growth expectations over the next several years all offer average wages at the median or below. Personal care aides, a growing field as the population ages, had a median hourly wage last year of $9.82 an hour, 6.6 percent below the level in 2009.

I am Embarrassed to be an American Today

David Coughlin
11/7/12


Barack Obama is not my president, not by a long shot, but unfortunately he is the president of my country. I am embarrassed to be an American today where so many people are oblivious to the damage being done to the fabric of our country and who voted for four more years of his destruction.

I cannot understand how so many people know so little about this man, and when they find out the facts about his background, choose to ignore his anti-American influences, his checkered past, his hidden records, and his lack of any accomplishment other than being elected to political office. I cannot understand how these same people see Obama's economic policies that failed to address the underlying problems and served to stagnate and lengthen the economic recovery. I cannot understand how these same people can watch Obama's foreign-policy tactics and not see America's reputation and influence degrade before their eyes. It is said that there are now two Americas that are not on speaking terms. I certainly do not understand this other America.

We have finally finished the most divisive and negative presidential campaign where Obama ran away from his record and instead attacked his challenger as his only campaign strategy. Again voters elected a president with no defined agenda, other than a continuation of the failed policies of his first term. His biggest electoral advantage was the mainstream media who "came out of the closet" to openly embrace their liberal icon President. I will not stand by quietly and watch this administration do further damage to my country.

I've been embarrassed that you are an American since the first post of yours I read.

The odd thing about Murkin Jizzhat is that he never posts anything of his own. It's always a cut-n-paste from somebody else's page, as if the rest of us are too stoopid to know how to read the internets.

I guess he's embarrassed.

Ain't dat right, Jizzhat?

You fn liberals don't like me exposing the leftwing so you resort to using salunsky's rules for radicals #5 which I also use along with #6.
And a name like pogo, sounds like some ones hammering yo moronic ass...

"Salunsky" huh?
Wasn't he a pitcher with the Angels?

Now I can see why you don't write your own stuff. Same reason I don't do a whole lot of brain surgeries.

The link is there but your to stupid to know how it works, I use that name as a short cut plus the man was a lunatic like you liberals...

Yuh huh --- so you use a longer name as a "short cut".

Actually this explains a lot.

We still have a house in NY and the wages are crap there if you are non union compared to the cost of living. The point is this didn't come about over the last few years, this is a systemic problem that has been growing for the past 30 years

Correct, I wouldn't. Because he's a crutch Glenn Beck dredged up for Jizzhats to throw around when they can't deal with a discussion. To this day I have no idea what he wrote. I write what I write, not what somebody else writes. What a concept, maybe you should break a sweat and try it someday.

I don't know, but I don't seem to remember this issue before Massachusetts adopted Romneycare. Now, this link I am giving you is from OSHA and it really has nothing to do with politics. It is also telling us about the huge rise in temporary employment in my state. Get ready. It's coming.

From the Desk of Jack Healy: OSHA's New Policy Regarding Temporary Workers

OSHA is launching a more vigorous policy focused on issues related to increased and widespread use of temporary workers in a number of industry sectors. The policy contains new guidelines that cover training responsibility, safety, and enforcement among other things. This new policy will have a significant impact on manufacturers and it is important to be aware of the new provisions of this policy.

A prime reason for this initiative is the experience in Massachusetts after the implementation of Romney Care. Temporary jobs increased 6 times faster in MA than nationwide after the law was implemented. It became apparent there was a need to define whose primary responsibility it is to prepare and train the temporary employees to assure a safe working environment.

OSHA anticipates a similar trend of employers moving to use more temporary workers nationwide with the implementation of the Affordable Health Care law – ACA. As a result, it has created some ambiguity regarding who was responsible for their health and safety – the agency or host employer? OSHA believes employers are adopting the practice of using part-time temporary workers to avoid the costs of full-time, direct employees, and to skirt the OSHA laws, thus avoiding responsibility for certain training and liability.

Oh, the government seems to have a way to turn everything it touches into poop. Lol. They will CREATE problems, I'm sure. Otherwise, I wouldn't have a problem with that. Maybe we should stop taking in refugees and stop sending billions of dollars overseas and start thinking about helping our own here at home and staying out of other people's problems, like they ask us to? Then we would have more money to spend on our own people and our own country and making it better for us.

Problems can be solved when people of good will put their collective mind to defining the problem and honestly seeking solutions; some work, some fail and some have promise but need to be revised.

Medicare fraud is a problem, the criminal act is fraud and the perpetrators are not government agencies but private sector medical professionals, their suppliers and employees. That's a problem.

The solution is not only to require the thief to pay restitution, but to take away their license to practice their craft; and put them in prison, when the crime is egregious and premeditated.

We all know what happens when the government takes control. It creates a lot of red tape, waste, and politics. Without enough people working to pay taxes to support such a system, it would collapse too. The amount of money we spend on medical care is through the roof!

You've created a problem in you mind, now, create a solution. Red tape is a dysphemism for regulations and waste is a product of too many law suits, fraud, unnecessary tests and procedures and the opposition of those who pay lobbyists to protect their golden goose; all fixable if men and women of good will want a solution and if the process is open to the public.

 

[HereWeGoAgain]

Well, fortunately for me, I posted a link that backs my claims. A lot of jobs out there are either temporary or part time. Sorry, that's a fact. If it hasn't affected you yet, wait, it will.

Things were slow here for a few years , but it has come back very strong 4.5% unemployment in my area

Yes, but the problem is people are only getting part time jobs and are therefore still relying on social services for support in some cases. Also, the wages they are offering are crappy. They know that people need jobs, and employers are totally taking advantage of that fact.

Maybe it

For Most Americans, Wages Aren’t Just Stagnating — They’re Falling

Not surprisingly, this corresponds to many of the occupations that are adding the most jobs. As competition increases within those fields, employers can squeeze workers on wages. Outside of registered nurses, the occupations with the highest job growth expectations over the next several years all offer average wages at the median or below. Personal care aides, a growing field as the population ages, had a median hourly wage last year of $9.82 an hour, 6.6 percent below the level in 2009.

We still have a house in NY and the wages are crap there if you are non union compared to the cost of living. The point is this didn't come about over the last few years, this is a systemic problem that has been growing for the past 30 years

I don't know, but I don't seem to remember this issue before Massachusetts adopted Romneycare. Now, this link I am giving you is from OSHA and it really has nothing to do with politics. It is also telling us about the huge rise in temporary employment in my state. Get ready. It's coming.

From the Desk of Jack Healy: OSHA's New Policy Regarding Temporary Workers

OSHA is launching a more vigorous policy focused on issues related to increased and widespread use of temporary workers in a number of industry sectors. The policy contains new guidelines that cover training responsibility, safety, and enforcement among other things. This new policy will have a significant impact on manufacturers and it is important to be aware of the new provisions of this policy.

A prime reason for this initiative is the experience in Massachusetts after the implementation of Romney Care. Temporary jobs increased 6 times faster in MA than nationwide after the law was implemented. It became apparent there was a need to define whose primary responsibility it is to prepare and train the temporary employees to assure a safe working environment.

OSHA anticipates a similar trend of employers moving to use more temporary workers nationwide with the implementation of the Affordable Health Care law – ACA. As a result, it has created some ambiguity regarding who was responsible for their health and safety – the agency or host employer? OSHA believes employers are adopting the practice of using part-time temporary workers to avoid the costs of full-time, direct employees, and to skirt the OSHA laws, thus avoiding responsibility for certain training and liability.

Maybe it's time for single payer medicare coverage for all? One giant pool of all American citizens covered from cradle to grave.

What is the down side?

Never let a government control that aspect of your life.
It's like welfare,once you're dependent they own you.

 

[Pogo]

"Salunsky" huh?
Wasn't he a pitcher with the Angels?

Now I can see why you don't write your own stuff. Same reason I don't do a whole lot of brain surgeries.

The link is there but your to stupid to know how it works, I use that name as a short cut plus the man was a lunatic like you liberals...

Yuh huh --- so you use a longer name as a "short cut".

Actually this explains a lot.

Well yes stupid, I name him and call him a lunatic, it's genius(rule#5), but you would know nothing about dat...

Correct, I wouldn't. Because he's a crutch Glenn Beck dredged up for Jizzhats to throw around when they can't deal with a discussion. To this day I have no idea what he wrote. I write what I write, not what somebody else writes. What a concept, maybe you should break a sweat and try it someday.

You bore me...

Obviously. That's why you keep replying.
Ran outta gas already. Not to worry, as you prolly heard .... Obamagas is cheap.

Oh, the government seems to have a way to turn everything it touches into poop. Lol. They will CREATE problems, I'm sure. Otherwise, I wouldn't have a problem with that. Maybe we should stop taking in refugees and stop sending billions of dollars overseas and start thinking about helping our own here at home and staying out of other people's problems, like they ask us to? Then we would have more money to spend on our own people and our own country and making it better for us.

Problems can be solved when people of good will put their collective mind to defining the problem and honestly seeking solutions; some work, some fail and some have promise but need to be revised.

Medicare fraud is a problem, the criminal act is fraud and the perpetrators are not government agencies but private sector medical professionals, their suppliers and employees. That's a problem.

The solution is not only to require the thief to pay restitution, but to take away their license to practice their craft; and put them in prison, when the crime is egregious and premeditated.

We all know what happens when the government takes control. It creates a lot of red tape, waste, and politics. Without enough people working to pay taxes to support such a system, it would collapse too. The amount of money we spend on medical care is through the roof!

You've created a problem in you mind, now, create a solution. Red tape is a dysphemism for regulations and waste is a product of too many law suits, fraud, unnecessary tests and procedures and the opposition of those who pay lobbyists to protect their golden goose; all fixable if men and women of good will want a solution and if the process is open to the public.

I didn't create a problem in my mind. That is usually what happens. Take a look at the VA???

 

[ChrisL]

I think the VA is a model of what government run healthcare would closely resemble. Long wait times, lots of red tape, waste, fraud, etc.

That's pretty funny. If the economy was not improving, you wouldn't hesitate to blame it on him, but when it is improving, you question whether he has anything to do with it. It's spelled: h-y-p-o-c-r-i-s-y

The job market is still sucking it. Also, employers know this and are totally taking advantage of it. They ask for years and years of experience and a person with a degree, and then want to offer 12.50 an hour. What a joke! Meanwhile, we still have to deal with inflation.

Do you expect me to hire a newly graduate IT or an engineer with a 2 year experience?Maybe your decimal point is the wrong spot. Highly experience IT pay at least $130k/year. Minimum $60K at the lowest. Those people with a degree making $12.50 are in the wrong location or they took the wrong majors. Like BS ( build shit ) Psychology, archeology, liberal arts, architecture, studio arts, drama, anthropologists...etc. I have tons of these people making $16. as clerks, warehouse worker and receptionist. And so is other several companies I associated with. That is sad but that's the reality.

I am just relaying information here.

When are you going to begin relaying some information that suggests that the economy is better now than it was 7 years ago?

If only there was any information to that effect to relay. The job market still isn't so great.

It's great here. Maybe you are in the wrong field.

Really? What state are you in because I can check on that.

I can't tell you how many jobs I applied for, only to be emailed in return by a fucking temp agency. That is what they do. They post jobs and when you apply, they send you a bunch of shit, wanting you to sign up with them. I can even post some of my emails here, I think. I can just take out any personal info or post one of the generic ones where they send you a bunch of "job listings" in your area. Any time you go to apply for these "jobs" it seems as if they don't really exist and are just a scam to get you by these temp agencies. It's fucking horrible out there. Take my word for it.
