Unemployment Rate? Who Cares?

[Big Black Dog]

Who cares about the unemployment rate? My guess is that the many people who are out of a job care.

You have NO idea what I do...but i can assure you, I do work for Government almost on a daily basis dipshit.

Your job protected by a union? I'll bet that it is...what's the matter sewerboy? Can't keep a job on your own merits and need a union thug to speak for you?

Union?

Have you ever worked for a union that will get you fired if you strike? That has no ability to negotiate wages and benefits? That must rely on congressional legislation to modify benefits?

some union

So WHY be a part of it? Be a man. Stand on you own feet.

The Union is there.....you belong whether you want to or not. You pay no dues and get no benefits. They are a toothless tiger and have minimal influence on wages, benefits, workplace rules or structure.....all come from Congress

You are barking up the wrong tree

The Mantra of The Party of Herbert Hoover is that Obama promised that the stimulus would keep the Unemployment Rate below an 8% level: But that would become "too late already" Because of Bush-McCain-Palin-McConnell-Bachman-Romney-Pawlenty-Huntstman-Gingrinch-Cain-Paul-Paul and et. al.

There is a law firm name that millions can recognize!

See what AquaAthena and others are unable to recognize!

January 2009 ===7.8%

May 2011 === 9.1%

June 2011=== 9.2%

Look and see. See nearly 8% already caused by the Party of Herbert Hoover!

See only a 1% increase due to the Obama-Biden-Pelosi-Reid!

It's on their permanent records!

(In the United States, clearly: Even arithmetic is not allowed to be discussed in economics class, social studies, political science, social psychology--or even in the abnormal psychology classes, run by the teachers!)

Stay with me for just a second.

The Big 0 campaigned saying the economy was in the worst shape since the Great Depression. He either understood what he was getting into or was lying. He promised that he would implement a plan that would correct it the problem.

He either had a plan or was lying.

Two and a half years later, we are waiting for the defined solution to produced the promised results. So far, all he has done is spend 4 Trillion dollars of money stolen from our grandchildren to pay off his cronies and support the jobs of government, union employees.

Now that the payoffs and support money for those jobs is gone, the real problems are surfacing.

Metaphorically, we were on ship with a hole in the bottom letting water in when the Big 0 took office. The Big 0's solution was to chop another hole in the bottom to let the water out.

The effect of his solution is now beinig felt.

How's that been working out for you?

So says a gubmint employee...

Not my fault you can't meet the strict standards to work for the government

Are you stupid or lazy?

As a government employee, you are are excused for not knowing this.

Stupidity and laziness are required qualities in the skill sets for all jobs.

I work with PHDs and top engineers in their field. They are neither stupid nor lazy. We have top people lining up for Government employment. The quality of the Government workforce is better than it has been in 40 years

No one on the left has any complaint whatsoever with the job numbers month after month....Unemployment is still over the 8% this administration said it would never go over if the stimulus went through.This President has appeared on numerous occasions taking a bow for the hundreds of thousands of jobs he created...And the liberal controlled media supports and never questions the crappy job this President has done with jobs.

Unemployment was already over 8% when the stimulus was passed

This is incredible. The most intelligent man on the planet was not aware of the real world situation?

Are you sure? Are we to believe that the Big 0 was making plans and spending the people's money with no clue of what was happening in the real world?

As is the size and the expense.

I absolutely don't understand people that say things in a message board like "like make $100,000/yr" or "I work with PHDs and top engineers". It raises a lot of red flags when you start trying to brag about things on a message board.

Instead, and this is what message boards are for, you should try and articulate a point that speaks for itself without having to lower yourself to BS like that.

NASA is about to lay off over 100,000 jobs related to the shuttle program. We have top people lining up for employment period.

Do you have a point at all?

Socialist/Progressive wingnuttery wishful thinking. If a Republican was in there right now,the MSLSD nutters would be screeching for Impeachment 24/7. Also,GE/NBC is the Media's biggest Hopey Changey butt-sniffer. Can't take them all that seriously.

Do you even know what you are talking about? The 8% prediction was made before he even took office. Delaying the stimulus allowed unemployment to rise above 8.5% before the stimulus even took effect

Either way, Stimulus added 2.5-3 million jobs

Did it? That really can't be quantified. Most of that money was to state governments. What can be quantified is the number of jobs lost--8 million.

Is that correct?

2.5-3 jobs saved/created right? So only if Congress had acted sooner and passed stimulus--more than the $666 billion, more than the military budget of that year, the economy would be better off?

The reason that the stimulus didn't work is because it wasn't passed sooner

Let's do this, you tell me one of the stated objectives of the stimulus act, like re-building infrastructure or shovel ready jobs, that was actually achieved.

Merely clarifying the quality of the people who work for the Government. Try to keep up with the thread

"The economy would have to add 350,000 jobs every month between now and December 2014 to get back to the pre-recession low of 5 percent unemployment, last seen in December 2007, according to the Economic Policy Institute (EPI).

Reagan saw that kind of growth after the recession of the early 1980s, and it helped him win reelection by a comfortable 18 points. He also faced Walter Mondale, a weak opponent, from the opposing party — a bit of history Obama hopes to repeat in 2012."

Can any liberal show me in history when these progressive policies they are currently pushing has yielded any kind of economic growth?

The thread is about unemployment. I guess you don't have a point

At $275,000 per job created,we can only hope & pray this President doesn't try to create anymore jobs. We can't afford anymore of his "Help." I mean with friends like these?...

These liberals who spout this 'saved or created' line are absolutely delusional.
