You take care of yourself/your family.

Yep. Learn how to barter or trade services. No money - no tax.
If you have a trade or talent, you can "share" that trade or talent for another trade or talent without any cash being moved at all. There's no law AGAINST sharing, right? In fact - Oboma encourages it!
AND always pay for services with cash. What happens to that money after it leaves your hand is no concern of yours.

Obama will cite this as an emergency to pass his “jobs bill” which will make “Stimulus” a permanent thing.

Gold up over $50.

They are betting that there will be more money printing ahead.

Will Jay Carney even hold a daily briefing today?

Stuart Varney said, months ago, that the economy would need to be adding 200,000 new jobs (per week, IIRC) consistently just to ‘break even’.

We are still nowhere near that.

So the ADP numbers out on Tuesday were wrong again for the 8th straight month. Why even have them.

Both the ADP numbers and the government stats are the results of polling. They're both probably wrong.

We’re in a depression. %0 job growth, and negative GDP growth without massive government deficit spending.

And the proposed solution will be more of the same, just larger.

Zero jobs added, according to Fox, goes all the way back to the end of WWII before you find a month when that happened.

I'm not surprised at the jobs report for two reasons:

1) The stock market dive from the downgrading of US debt by Standard & Poor's and the European sovereign debt crisis effectively stopped all new hiring by American companies.
2) The Verizon strike cut 45,000 workers off the payrolls, skewing the statistic.
