Unemployment claims drop to three and a half year low

[Sundial]

No, there are many who wish that millions of jobs were being created right now. O's policies are antithetical to real economic principles. If I modeled my business plan after him, I'd be bankrupt quickly. We'll be playing musical chairs for prez every four years with horrid unemployment, housing in the crapper, inflation, high food prices, along with high commodities.

Well, there are millions of jobs being created right now. So those people are getting their wish.

And since those jobs are being created, that must mean Obama's policies are not antithetical to economic growth... right?

....... Millions? where do you get that from?

I'm glad you ask.

It's right about 3 million, or 150,000 a month for the past 20 months or so.

Now you know.

Should millionaires pay taxes at a lower rate than the rest of us?

Is it a good thing that more and more wealth is concentrated in fewer and fewer hands because of Reagan and Bush lowering taxes for the rich?

Which is more important, that American children get an education, that our people get healthcare, that the roads and bridges get fixed, that advanced materials research be done, that the our military be supplied with the best equipment, that old people are taken care of, that the our debt be paid down, that food and water be safe, that our environment be clean, or that a billionaire buys a new yacht?

No.
And they don't.
If you think they do, prove it.

Dec. 29 (Bloomberg) -- Fewer Americans filed applications for unemployment benefits over the past month than at any time in the past three years, a sign the U.S. labor market is on the mend heading into the new year.

The four-week moving average for claims, a less volatile measure than the weekly figures, dropped to 375,000 last week, the lowest level since June 2008, Labor Department figures showed today in Washington.

LMAO...........with the political IQ of a small soap dish, this guy is as dumb as a stump. This is like a football fan celebrating his team getting a touchdown with his team on the short end of a 49 - 7 score!!!

Laugh my balls off.........from Bloomberg Businessweek..................


According to data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the U.S. shed 2.3 million jobs since February 2009, Obama’s first full month in office. Going back to World War II, that is by far the worst record for any president in his first 17 months, outpacing the job destruction experienced in the early Bush years by more than 800,000 jobs…

For Obama, there is an even worse way to play the data, which might just become fodder for a political ad: From November 2008, the month he was elected, until now, the economy has shed an astonishing 4.4 million jobs. That’s worse than Hoover.

More Jobs Lost Under Obama Than ANY President… Ever « Are you Freaking Stupid?


LMBO........fcukking Hoover!!!!!!!!

Which is more important, that American children get an education, that our people get healthcare, that the roads and bridges get fixed, that advanced materials research be done, that the our military be supplied with the best equipment, that old people are taken care of, that the our debt be paid down, that food and water be safe, that our environment be clean, or that a billionaire buys a new yacht?

No.
And they don't.
If you think they do, prove it.

WASHINGTON, D.C.--The 400 highest-earning taxpayers in the U.S. reported a record $105 billion in total adjusted gross income in 2006, but they paid just $18 billion in tax, new Internal Revenue Service figures show. That works out to an average federal income tax bite of 17%--the lowest rate paid by the richest 400 during the 15-year period covered by the IRS statistics. The average federal tax bite on the top 400 was 30% in 1995 and 23% in 2002.

When will the dummies wake up and smell the maple crunch? These nutters think that from the nether-regions of the internet, they will sway elections with class warfare BS. That of course is epic gayness........particularly when you see the Obama numbers plummeting after a week of hammerring on the class warfare rhetoric...........

Ummmm- it's because so many people have given up looking for jobs, and dropped out of the job market altogether. Not really complicated or diffucult to understand.

[skookerasbil]

And really.........what percentage of Americans think that our DEBT number is the responsibility of Reagan/Bush??

20% absolute MAX? And only half that number actually believes it.........the other half are nutters.

A huge majority concur: This president is the champion of BIG SPENDERS.


And since this is a POLITICS forum, is it not the ONLY thing that is relevant????

No, not bullshit. The unemployment rate dropped in Nov, but about half of that was accounted for by people leaving the job market.
