A poor substitute for the usual thread.

You are being generous. Singing “God Bless America” on the steps of the Capitol takes 3 minutes, tops.

FOX NEWS SUNDAY (Fox Network): Juan Williams bullish on the economy, predicts 8% unemployment by mid-term elections 2010

Obama’s Weekly Radio Address 02 21 09

THE PRESIDENT: Earlier this week, I signed into law the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act — the most sweeping economic recovery plan in history.

Because of this plan, 3.5 million Americans will now go to work doing the work that America needs done.

^
Better find new economist, The President and his Democrats are bullish too, and were only off by -10 million Jobs since they passed Stimulus #1

[Alas Babylon!]

Brilliant! Excellent point, Pat! It’s so starkly true it hurts one’s head to think that some people cannot grasp it. You should bottle that and post it on your blog.

[Roccus]

It’s the only way they can get invited to all the “right” cocktail parties.

[rodguy911]

Get well buddy, first Rush now you,wow bad start to the New Year.

Yesterday on CNN, the anchor claimed that the average unemployed worker has been unemployed for 27 straight months now. Doesn’t that seem impossible?

UE has been rising since about mid 2007. It just wasn't reported. I recall a local news story about food banks running short and the number of Food Stamp applications increasing 2 years ago. Of course, the number was still in the single-digit (5-6%) range.

Regarding those cocktail parties, it’s how they prove to themselves that they are cool.

Frankly, I listen to few of the pundits any more.

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

she is very dumb, just not sharp at all...lots of non sequitors and cliches...”Bush should have asked more people to volunteer for the military” HUH?

[Bahbah]

David Brooks fits your theory perfectly, Miss Marple. As does E.J. Dionne.

Ummm, here’s Brennan AGAIN, this time on Fox.

[rodguy911]

Draw a big circle around DC,extend it for several miles,those are our overlords,only their opinion counts.

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

I sent this to all my friends as a New Years gift for inspiration!

Many of the Bush tax cuts expired a couple of days ago. Couple that with the uncertainty of Obiecare and Crap&Trade and there is no reason for businesses to start hiring. I suspect businesses large and small have already analyzed the worst case scenario and have planned accordingly. Unemployment will increase significantly over the next year, not go down.

[rodguy911]

Yeah I probalby did go overboard just a little.

[MNJohnnie]

Yesterday on CNN, the anchor claimed that the average unemployed worker has been unemployed for 27 straight months now.

Yes it is just another lie.

It has worked every time they used it in the past. Why souldn’t they continue to use it? I know of three it will work on. I posted the gist of a conversation between three obama voters I overheard while eating at a Maryland Fried Chicken place. To sum it up, they blamed Bush for everything that was happening and tht obama is a genius for straightening everything Bush messed up out.

So as long as they are Democrats, that line will continue to work from now to eternity.

Same here in NY, after repeated attempts, the pop ups remained... had to go to IT guy to clean it up for $45.00.

Sociopathic response to an overload of reality. :)

Who else on Freep is so respected, they all fall apart if you don’t post! ha!
Please get better soon...Prayers up for your speedy recovery!!!

The big question is how will all these new govt. jobs be funded after 2012? where will all the money come from. If the new adm.(in 2012) is thinking clearly,a huge govt. sell off will begin. Sell off as many things that the govt. should not be doing to free enterprise and try and save the integrity of the nation.

They can begin with GM. (if there are any buyers.)
