Harry Reid says PRIVATE SECTOR jobs doing fine--it's GOV jobs that are suffering

[thereisnospoon]

This is unbelievable. Harry Reid--Democrat senate majority leader trying to push Obama's new job's bill through the senate makes this comment.

You know he's right, don't you?

Yeah and? Let me guess, you actually WANT to increase the number of government employees? What on Earth for?

 

[oreo]

This is unbelievable. Harry Reid--Democrat senate majority leader trying to push Obama's new job's bill through the senate makes this comment.

actually, last month and the month before, the number of private sector jobs created were canceled out by the number of government jobs terminated.

reality, it's quite a concept.

and yet somehow, the govt stays open for *business* without a full complement of associate deputy assistants to the assistant deputy undersecretary of redundancy.

i'm amazed.

Obama is still out there--AFTER the Democrat lead Majority Senate told him to SHOVE his new jobs bill trying to PROMOTE this new jobs creating MORE temporary government workers jobs--DOWN SOME dumb asses throat--on his freakin new jobs tours--riding around in a bus that was made in CANADA.

There's a lot of DUMB ASS Democrats and LIBERALS in this country!

CHART: Private Sector Job Growth Under Obama | Oliver Willis

An updated chart is needed....but the trend has continued. Adding PRIVATE SECTOR jobs every month.

For those who hate clicking on those annoying links.

From the "Office of the Democratic Leader"....Give me a fucking break..
Ya know, every time one of you Obamatons spews this tripe about job creation there is always this one thing that trips you up and makes you face plant and that is the unemployment rate never seems to go down.
Oh ,you'll try to spin it with some nonsense report from the CBO that ignores the net employment figures. With that you feel comfortable thinking you have successfully silenced your opposition. That is until the unemployment rate gets in your way.

For those who hate clicking on those annoying links.

Great news.



Then why do we need a "Jobs Bill?"

To keep Republicans from cutting public sector jobs.

There are far too many public sector jobs now.

 

[thereisnospoon]

Reid is an idiot controlled by big money.

Yes but he's YOUR idiot...

 

[thereisnospoon]

The GOP leadership and the nutter talking heads have low info voters convinced that we are bleeding private sector jobs (we're not ) due to Obama raising taxes ( he didn't ) and greater regulations ( there aren't ).

Lets see he raised the Gas Tax, He passed a Massive Health Care Bill with new taxes connected to it, and he has written into law over 10,000 New Regulations. He clearly wants to raise taxes on the Rich and Business to pay for his Out of control Spending Habits.

Could you be any more full of shit?

the federal gas tax was NOT raised,

and can you please link up to the supposed 10,000business regulations he added since he was in office from a legitimate link?

and also provide a link that shows these new taxes attached to the health care bill that are in effect now?????

No the tax was not increased but Obama floated the idea. Obama Highway Plan Fuels Talk Of Gas Tax Hike | Fox News have always maintained that if Obama could get away with it, he'd raise the federal gas tax to at least $1 per gallon. That based the statement he made during the 2008 campaign. "I'd be comfortable with four dollar per gallon gasoline"...
For one there is a real estate transfer tax hidden in the Obama care bill.
As far new business regs....Ok 10,000 is not true.....But 4,200 is....4200 New Regulations in Obama Pipeline- so far - Page 1 - Bob Beauprez - Townhall Finance

Obama
Truth is the current Presidential administration is the Nation's most ever anti business.
That's since the beginning of the Country.
There IS a New Real Estate Transfer Tax in the ObamaCare Law..
It only applies to higher end homes and to certain income levels. Yet there is no denying Obama has been raising taxes. Obama also supported pushed very hard for the Cap and Trade legislation. This would have dramatically increased energy costs to the consumer. In effect, a tax.

Harry Reid is a moron.

The labor force was 154,185,000 when Obama took office. It's now 154,017. And the economy has created private-sector jobs for well over a year.

That depends on how many people enter the job force each month.




The jobs number is a net figure, not a gross.


The net job picture has improved - and dramatically so. We've gone from a net loss of 800,000 jobs per month to a net gain averaging about 100K per month over the past year.

Get it now?

oh for gods sake.

a)Labor Force Participation Rate Drops To 63.9%, Lowest Since January 1984

Labor Force Participation Rate Drops To 63.9%, Lowest Since January 1984 | ZeroHedge

Why would you quote an August figure? I gave you the actual numbers.

b)" the economy needs to create close to 150,000 jobs a month just to keep up with population growth".
You do realize that those jobs add up and have to be accounted for before you can add a net + , right?

No, the economy typically needs to add between 100,000 and 300,000 but the demographics of the job market are a critical factor. Ten years from now it will need to add less because people will be retiring at a faster rate than young people are entering the work force.

c) we are right back to the example I used, are we bleeding like we were in 08 and early 09? No, no argument there, is there a recovery where in more jobs have been created than lost, or a net gain in total employment over his tenure? no.

The net total job count is minus 2.9 million ( according to Veronique de Rugy at Reason magazine) and 3.3 million according to Heritage, since Heritage is touted as right of center,fine, I will go with Veronique's who writes for the Libertarian Reason magazine grp. ( and her figure was from exactly one year ago, Oct 2010).

We weren't discussing the net job count - we were discussing private sector job creation, which has been net positive for well over a year.

your continued intellectual dishonesty is not my concern.

I gave you the quote to put it IN context....your LFP numbers meant nothing on there own minus a comparison hello, thats the whole point.


net job creation given the net job loss ala prvt and pub. is the question,while the private sector lost approx. 2.9 million, the federal government grew by 40,000 (after a large uptick, the Feds shed during the summer). Total government jobs went down on to shrink by 357,000 jobs, many of them census jobs etc. AND, many a huge portion of those at the state and muni. level, after the stimulus started to dry up, but, you want to just use one year? so you want to create set closed boundaries to make your argument right in one point in time, setting aside the point, which is, Reid misspoke, badly, if not you are defending his statement which is plainly wrong.

No, the economy typically needs to add between 100,000 and 300,000 but the demographics of the job market are a critical factor. Ten years from now it will need to add less because people will be retiring at a faster rate than young people are entering the work force.

uh huh, I have never seen a 100K number, not even form the Obama admin., dude, stop ok? That statement is just a smoke screen to prevent having to acknowledge my point as correct.

Does it really matter what he says? Harry Reid is a moron. The entire country knows that.....

Everyone except the people in Las Vegas.. Just like Pelosi Everyone knows she is a whackadoodle but the people in San Francisco

 

[oreo]

Does it really matter what he says? Harry Reid is a moron. The entire country knows that.....

Well--it's definitely a reflection on what Obama's new job bill is all about. Tax the crap out of real job creators--(small business in this country)--so Obama can take it and then TEMPORARILY hire more teachers--police and firemen. Same thing as the 787 stim bill 1--just a different day.

 

[oreo]

And conservatives pretend that somehow an economy adding 100,000 jobs a month is somehow worse off than an economy shedding 800,000.

That right there is full on idiot.

The economy is growing faster under obama than it did under bush. The problem is that the economy under bush contracted the most in 100 years and obama now has to dig out of that hole.

Those stats are pointless when you need 250k just to keep up with population growth.

Its 250K

Obama inherited a recession that was coming to an end...the economy is cyclical, and under Obama we were do for a recovery....Under Obama the growth has been revised to lower than expected consistantly since he's been president.....we have seen anemic growth under this administration and might be headed for a double dip.

Obama has continually threatened small business in this country with higher taxes--more regulation--and in return they have tucked in like a turtle and waiting for the threat to leave.

Here is a democrat CEO--and strong supporter of Harry Reid-- comments about Barack Obama.

“I’m saying it bluntly, that this administration is the greatest wet blanket to business, progress and job creation in my lifetime. A lot of people don’t want to say that. They’ll say, ‘Oh God, don’t be attacking Obama.’ Well, this is Obama’s deal, and it’s Obama that’s responsible for this fear in America.”

“The guy [Obama] keeps making speeches about redistribution, and maybe ‘we ought to do something to businesses that don’t invest or hold too much money.’ We haven’t heard that kind of talk except from pure socialists.”

“Business is being hammered. The business community in this country is frightened to death of the weird political philosophy of the president of the United States. Until he’s gone, everybody’s going to be sitting on their thumbs.”

Harry Reid says PRIVATE SECTOR jobs doing fine--it's GOV jobs that are suffering

Harry Reid gotta go. He has just one more brain cell than Pelosi and they may sometimes timeshare that. Now I wouldn't want the Wall St. bought and paid for Reps to control all of Congress but if the House and Senate shifted majorities I wouldn't have a problem with that.

Then you're NOT upset about Obama's jobs bill disclosed? Because that is exactly what Harry Reid is talking about here. Obama's job bill is nothing more than to TEMPORARILY prop up government workers.

I want Reid to remain in office. Although with his party in the minority.
Reid is a poster child for what is wrong with liberalism.
The more Reid exposes his liberalism, the better for conservatives.

How much longer do you think Reid can last? The last time I saw him on the television he looked rather frail.

His full term. IV in one arm, credit card in the other.

So regulation is the killer yes?

Well the Bureau of Labor Statistics did a study of unemployment claims through the first quarter of the year.

about 2000 of the claims in the survey stemmed from "government regulation". 56,000 came from "insufficient demand".

The problem is obvious, unless your an idiot.

 

[Sallow]

Harry Reid is correct

Private sector employment has been up the last few months, it is the cutbacks in government spending and government jobs that is holding down the employment figures

I wonder who insisted on that?

Thanks Tea Baggers

S and P and the other Rating Agencies. Idiot.

Prudence Demands we stop spending 1.5 Trillion dollars a year more than we take in.

Oh fucking bullshit.

You have no fucking idea what you are talking about.
