And when we die, we will be buried in those gardens. You know, circle of life...
Wouldn’t be beyond the ‘rats to take from whatever stimuli accounts with money in them they can muster, in October, and Tout big time - hey look, “We are Creating Jobs!”, while they create temporary poll jobs for the election, where the tasks include driving elderly to the polls, manning polling stations, manning polling station counters, helping those voters needing help (ie, provisional ballots, ID “problems”). While these jobs would be temporary, there would be a promise to the best “performers” for future employment in the government, if things work “out”.
Oh, expect the above bigtime in certain states in “need”... you know, so-called swing states.
1/2 million people drop out of the jobs market. This is more than the entire population of the city of Los Vegas, or Oklahoma city just magically disapeared from the job rolls and unemployment ticked down.
They are just F’ing with us now!
Any man who who lie in his autobiography about a compilation girlfriend will do anything. His flunkies in the bls are trying to help, because they think Democrats will be able to keep their salaries and bonuses high. Little do they realize what will happen when our economic system collapses because of government debt.
My county’s real estate valuation just went down...it had stayed steady through the recession, but the appraisers could no longer keep them steady with a straight face.
Of course, this means tax revenues will drop...and this fall, our local budget hearings will be very animated. I see lots of public sector layoffs coming. I bet this is not an isolated case; and, we will see this happen all over the country.
Another revenue drop - food stamps. There is no sales tax on items purchased with them in many states. As their use goes up, local revenues go down...more government layoffs.
We have set ourselves up for a quick spiral.
Fundamentally, I do think it is good to shed public jobs, and gain private ones...but if the losses outpace the gains, its not good.
Obama has got it made.
Any Republican who doesn’t soundly tar and feather Obama with the job numbers this campaign is not worth his salt.
The good thing is that it takes people a long time to buy into it...even in the past when the economy started recovering right before the election, it didn’t help the candidate much since it was too late.
I think people will still be very pessimistic regardless due to what they actually see on the ground.
As much as it hurts the Country and me personally, I pray the economy stays in the tank until after election day. It will be our only chance to rid ourselves of the communist scourge that has infected us.
clearly another manufactured number.....just take some more people off the table and the rate goers down.....all BS from bambi
What you said, plus as much as I would hate it, I hope gas is around $8/gallon on election day, since that's one thing the drive bys can't hide from the sheeple.
Polls and government figures are equal to fairy tales.
I don’t read this chart as jobs we lost. I read this chart as jobs we never should have had.
That entire 30 year arch of maximized workforce participation came from and only from, debt. Massive debt. That is the rise and fall of a massive debt bubble expresses as the jobs gained and lost resulting from said rise and fall.
That chart mirrors the home ownership rates during the housing bubble. It is identical in nature. It is not that we lost so many home owners, but that we had so many people that should never have been sold homes because they had no way to pay for them.
Guess waht? That workforce participation chart is the same -— we should never have created those jobs because they were not a product of savings and wealth creation, but of debt.
In both cases the rise and fall was based on funny money, not fundamentals.
The chart is just a symptom or indicator of our failure to create real wealth through savings and investment.
this depression will not be televised.
