unemployment reaches 26 year high, 9.7%

[Willie99]

so I guess this means that this month we need to give Obama's stimulus package more time, and the unemployment numbers are Bush's fault, as opposed to last month when Obama was taking credit for already turning the economy around.

you see, credit and progress is a living, breathing document

 

[Willie99]

remember this chart? This is Obama's representation of his projected unemployment with and without his stimulus package. Critics said he's going to hurt growth.

Using his numbers and his logic and the words he chose to speak, looks like he could not have been more wrong.

btw, if we update this chart, the maroon dots virtually touch the top of the chart, 10% higher than he predicted without his program and 25% higher than we're supposed to be at today.

how much more do we really need to know about economic theory, politics and the value of words?









PS: I know I know, it's Bush's fault

F'kn Bush. Will we ever escape the harm he has inflicted upon this once great ( soon to be great again thanks to BO ) nation.

[kingbill]

Just curious who was in office 26 years ago? Was he a one term president?

Anyone who knows anything about economics will tell you the jobs bleed well after the economy starts to turn. But you guys are smart guys, you would already know this.

So that's not Obama's popularity chart?

Yep 26 years ago Reagan was in his 1st term and all you rat wangers were blameing it on Carter, well, guess who brought all this shit on?

 

[Willie99]

I'm sorry, but what does Obama's predictions mean again? See his chart

Didn't we need the stimulus to save the economy and immediately reduce unemployment? See his chart

don't think about what's being said, just duck and dodge and stay in line.

Obviously, he just doesn't know what he's talking about

wrong again

I was a registered Democrat that knew Carter had to go in 1980, but didn't believe in vodoo economics just yet either. Voted for Anderson.

Of course, I had one year's experience in 1983. Once I understood business matters better, shortly thereafter, I became a conservative. the overwhelming majority of accountants are conservatives, but I know that's for selfish reasons. Has nothing to do with how we think jobs can be created. Now a community organizer, now that type of man knows about business. Yessiree, there y'go.

and he feels your pain too

God Bless (hope I didn't offend anybody saying God Bless)

speaking of obamacare...

there is actually a requirement to get and rfid chip in the hand.

 

[barman]

Sure there is...

And next year will be when everyone is forced to have the Mark of the Beast tattooed onto the back of their skull

And a couple years after that, Jesus will come down in his flaming chariot swinging his flaming sword and killing all the non-believers.

And everyone else will Live Happily Ever After

 

[mplastered]

Sure hope I'm in that last group.

 

[TomGshotput]

9.7? I wish it was that low around here

 

[meltdown]

What happened to all these "shovel ready" projects that were supposed to create all these jobs?

What jobs have been created by the stimulous bill (other than czars)?

How many of these jobs (if ever started) are long term vs. a 90 day construction project?

 

[PatPatriot]

Its now at 9.7+ with Van Jones in the soup line.Come to think of it,it would be higher than that if goverment employees were at pre Obama levels.

& at the same time we import 2 1/2 million more from foriegn Countries every 2 years to further flood our job market....Duh.
