Obama cut taxes. So you don't know what you're talking about there.
But that aside, tell us who got laid off because of the stimulus package spending.
Obama's increases haven't kicked in yet, not the obvious one's. We all know what will happen when they do. Government workers and Union Workers, will be the last to get hit though huh, so while the rest of us get fucked over, you might enjoy that exotic vacation sock puppet.
So you're answer is? You claim was that Obama CAUSED unemployment, not that in some imagined world of the unseen future he might someday cause unemployment.
So again, tell us who got laid off, and while you're at it, what was the net job loss caused by the stimulus package?
Be specific.
You do well drinking your own Kool-Aid, but I'll pass. Your view is partisan, and it will remain that way through the crash. The straw man you all built, has a hold of the Government, the Media, the Banks, the Controller Class. The illusion is a fail NYCarbineer. Time is your enemy, reason and logic a supposed offense. Your statistics don't even include the most in need.
The integrity of your statistics always the first casualty my friend. Until you get the math right, the problem continues to multiply, continue on with your fabricated claims though, those that want to believe your crap will continue to do so. Let me know when you do realize the definition, necessity, purpose, and function of the Impartial Referee though, would you. Oh to be able to read between the lines.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The number of workers filing for jobless benefits fell only slightly last week, suggesting the unemployment rate will remain elevated even as recovery in the labor market builds steam.
Initial claims for state unemployment aid slipped 4,000 to 444,000 in the week to May 8, the Labor Department said on Thursday, maintaining this year's modest downward trend even as other job market indicators have shown major improvements.
Economists said the puzzling stickiness in claims, which they had expected to dip further to 440,000, underscored the challenges the labor market confronts as it heals from the severe beating it took during the worst recession since the 1930s.
"The labor market is clearly improving, but it has a long, long way to go before it gets to any semblance of normalcy," said Joseph LaVorgna, chief U.S. economist at Deutsche Bank Securities in New York.
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke told a conference in Philadelphia that easing tight credit conditions for small businesses was critical to bringing down the unemployment rate, currently at 9.9 percent.
On Wall Street, stocks ended lower while prices for long-dated government bonds rallied. The U.S. dollar strengthened against the euro.
In a second report on Wednesday, the department said import prices increased 0.9 percent last month on higher petroleum costs after rising 0.5 percent in March. However, excluding the volatile petroleum category, prices were up only 0.3 percent, suggesting little inflationary pressure.
"In spite of higher commodity costs, prices for imported finished goods appear sluggish, suggesting firms' pricing power remains limited," said Anna Piretti, an economist at BNP Paribas in New York.
Although initial jobless claims are falling only slowly, other measures of the labor market -- including the government's closely-watched monthly employment count -- suggest job growth is gaining steam as businesses become more confident of the strength of the economic recovery.
Data released last Friday showed payrolls grew by 290,000 in April -- the biggest gain in four years -- but the unemployment rate rose from 9.7 percent in March.
