Megyn Kelly asks Stephen Moore.
without yet reading/watching what you posted, I am guessing they are government jobs because that’s the only place where there is a net + of jobs.
Where are the jobs promised by Obomba?
With the federal government of course!
A sampling of post-graduation comments by newly sheep-skinned youngsters indicate the majority are looking towards government employment.
There was a guy on one of the Fox shows yesterday going on about all the jobs being created (in a similar broadcast as this). No one ever tried to pin him down on specifics. He was your typical sleaze ball Obama hack and just prattled on. They also brought on some unheard of (by me) radio host as a sort of rebuttal, but he was completely ineffectual.
What needs to be done is a numbers game beyond the monthly “jobless” percentages.
How nice! They'll actually be working.
If any job is created, it will be a federal government job - and the economy will shed 2 for every 1 created. So basically he is destroying jobs.
He's already arranged a 9 week paid vacation for most of the UAW, until they are all processed into being government employees.
The jobs are in the same place as his US bc.
The Dems throw out numbers and the MSM never calls them on it.
What else is left??? The "change" in your pocket!!
The Obama people do not understand the psychology of business management. Part of the increase in unemployment is because of business conditions, but also there is the element of future planning by businesses. This is the part they do not understand. It is not that credit is unavailable - it is that no one in their right mind is going to borrow money to expand their business and add employees in the current business climate. Even when the economy stabilizes, employment will not— because Obama has created such uncertainty in the areas of taxes, cap-and-trade, forced benefits packages, etc. that no one will expand until the dust settles. It is not all due to the immediate business climate....

Talked with my brother-in-law yesterday.
He is a BIG union supporter, who is a road construction engineer in upper New York state.
I asked him how much the stimulus money has increased his business.
He said none.
And it never will increase road repair business. I was very surprised at the answer. It turns out that munincipalities are simply going to pay for planned road work with stimulus money, but divert those funds that were formerly going to pay for road construction to other things.
But there will be ZERO new road repair projects because of “stimulus” spending.
And even if the stimulus money WAS specifically to be spent on road construction, there just simply isn’t enough trained workers.
