But the weaker growth reflects an economy that is expanding at a sluggish rate, weighed down by federal spending cuts under the so-called sequester, weak global demand and lingering constraints in borrowing and spending from the Great Recession — not to mention uncertainty over the federal budget.

"The trend is in the wrong direction," Robert B. Reich, public policy professor at UC Berkeley, said of job growth.

Like most experts, Reich expects the employment data for October, set for release Nov. 8, to look even worse than last month's because that report will incorporate some of the effects of the 16-day government shutdown.

I, for one, am sick to death of the notion that an economy can only grow if it is stimulated with borrowed money, financed with dollars created out of thing air. Really? That is how economics works? Yesterday, that was a story posted at FR about the economic decline of America's cities. Most of the cities peaked, economically, in the first half of the twentieth century, and have been in decline ever since. Where was the massive influx of government money that created the original prosperity? Well there wasn't any. The massive influx of government money to these cities has happened AFTER there supposed peak. And yet cities like Detroit, and Buffalo and Pittsburgh, and Toledo spiral downward. Stimulus?

I guess I should post the link:http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3081712/posts

Pace of U.S. job growth slows

Must mean that the negative numbers are increasing. Who would have suspected that anyone at the LA Slimes understood math?!

Job growth has been at a breakneck crawl on a contrary conveyer belt since the advent of the kenyan.
