Such tortured writing...

**********

Initial claims for state unemployment benefits increased 12,000 to a seasonally adjusted 500,000 in the week ended Aug. 14, the highest since mid-November, the Labor Department said.

Analysts polled by Reuters had forecast claims slipping to 476,000 from the previously reported 484,000 the prior week, which was revised up to 488,000 in Thursday’s report.

But Obama told people in Ohio things were turning around. This must be a mistake.

I always watch CNBC in the morning. Best thing on tv. Becky must be on vacation. Army was on this morning and tore Howard Dean a new one. He told Dean Social Security should be a choice and voluntary and Dean almost fainted.n My company of 100 ee’s laid off 20 last week for lack of new projects and more to come. We are Marine Construction. Our only ongoing projects are in the Carribbean. The USA is shutting down.

I say you can pinpoint the beginning to Charlie Rangel’s ‘Mother of All Tax Hikes” mid 2007. That’s when small businesses knew what was coming.
Today’s number matches the Nov 14, 2008 unemployment claims. That’s after O’s election.
Those who are informed, prepare.

A prediction of what’s coming by November.....

This administration will be blaming the unemployed for the Nation’s high unemployment rate.......

No, the crats will want to spend more and higher taxes. Republicans better quit talking about Mosques and hit them hard on the economy.

According to Kudlow 2 trillion dollars of private money is on the sidelines because of uncertainty about taxes, regulation, health care costs etc.

A big republican victory in November could release the money spigot.

The clown did not look comfortable or confident with his position. Like he was trying to come up with a rationale he didn’t really believe.

If I had money under that guy, I would pull it!
