Unemployment rate rises. Pathetic recovery stalls

[clevergirl]

Not only small businesses but large companies are also waiting obama out. When obama loses, the economy will explode overnight. The nation will give a collective sigh of relief that the dark days are finally ended.

All it will take is the word he lost.

That's why Obama's going down like a lead balloon~

And will make the coming debates even more interesting.

You mean when he creates the Conditions to make it happen Obama will say HE meant to do that...but was pre-occupied?

Can we hold you to predicting Romney will create a million jobs in three months?

This was expected and really highlights how little government can do to turn the economy around.

after Romney wins in November, mass hiring will begin, by the end of January we will see a few hundred thousand jobs added,,,the very embarrassed dems will claim it was because of the 2009 stimulus that is finally working.

They'd be dilluded enough to give credit to a failure.

 

[iamwhatiseem]

like i mentioned a few times here, we need many small businesses to put that sign in the window,,,,we will begin hiring on November 7th if Romney wins.

As well as capital investment.
Companies aren't buying new equipment, aren't expanding and are putting off replacing old equipment.
We are all storing away the cash in case it gets worse again - which most expect it to. Look at the casino...er...I mean stock market...nobody believes in it any more except those that are placing the bets. Everyone I know is waiting on the next collapse knowing that the 2009/10 fantasy market climb was purely stimulus gains thanks to a few $trillion of taxpayer money given to them by their dutiful servants in Washington which didn't do a God damn bit of good for you and me.
We desperately need to feel confident again. We desperately need to believe that Washington has our interest at heart and not just the interest of the banks and Wall Street....which Obama has shown us Wall Street is exactly what he is looking out for.

Snipper it is sad when an American citizen (which I guess you are, haven't seen your BC)
is celebrating over the misfortune of other Americans. Or is that Amercia?

And when you want/need a job and can't find one, it is misfortune.

What is it that you believe Mittens would do to bring down unempleoyment?

And if he (Mittens) were elected and failed to bring down the unemployment numbers,
would you shoot yourself over the failure of YOUR messiah?

Just curious.

I have no idea who Mittens is...
Just like I have no idea who Willard is that Al Sharpton
is referring to all the time.

Sorry...maybe I am a little tired right now - but your gonna need to expand on that...what are you saying?

I replied to you in a PM.
Basically it is this. I saw what was coming before it happened.
I saw it as an inevitable result of wil money gambling, personal debt load, outrageous housing price gains, offshoring of jobs, etc.
I predicted this with at least a 10 year duration, the right said it would not happen or at worst it would be a 6 months adjustment and then business back as usual.

I saw it as inevitable, I just could not put an exact date on the falling down of the house of cards. But knew it would be fairly soon.

In what way are we worse then when Obama took office? Use hard figures. Remember, we're talking about the recession.

This is when you don't respond and I prove another one of you loud mouth idiots, is indeed a loud mouth idiot.

I keep seeing progressives use that argument, RDD and it's rather ridiculous. When Barack Obama took office we were at the worst part of a rather severe economic downturn. Have things improved statistically since then? Well, of course. Recessions are always cyclical. The question isn't whether things are better but rather whether it is getting better as fast as it should and how much of that is due to THIS President's policies. We've been out of a recession for some time now but that does not by any stretch of the imagination mean that things are proceeding as they should. What that does mean is that we've had so many quarters of ANY economic growth and even glacially slow economic growth (which is what we've been experiencing) counts...hardly something to crow about.

The fact is...this economic downturn continues to grind along with no end in sight. We've had a huge number of people on long term unemployment and that isn't changing. At some point, the Obama Administration has to take responsibility for that. They don't have a plan in place to address the economy, RDD and that's almost criminal. I've asked this many time before and I'll ask it of you once again...why would someone re-elect a man to a second four year term who apparently ran out of ideas to fix the economy about two years into his first?

Great question. Because I honestly don't see any better ideas coming from Romney. If his solution is to further cut taxes for big business and the wealthy while increasing taxes on the poor or middle class than I'd rather stick with the guy who I at least can agree with on Social issues, since neither he nor Romney seem to be much different otherwise.

There is one HUGE difference between Obama and Romney that you haven't touched on, RDD and it's the one that had me supporting Romney early on...

Romney has a history of working across the aisle with Democrats to get things done...Obama on the other hand hasn't the faintest idea how to accomplish that feat. What difference does it make if you agree with Barry on Social issues when he's leading one of the most polarized governments we've ever had. Do you really want another four years of finger pointing and excuse making over why nothing is happening? That's what you get with a second Obama term...and you know I'm right.

If this is what people consider boom time God help us if we go into an obama depression.

They have, you just don't want to see it.

And just because there hasn't been a full recovery doesn't mean things haven't improved.

Bigreb - I guess someone believes this crap!! See he just posted it.

64 million people on food stamps a record number. Less people in the work force
Black American's higher unemployment now compared too when obama took office.
More women are becoming unemployed compared too when obama took office.
