Here we go with rat talking points, turning a recovery into a bad economy, just like turning Iraq into Vietnam. The rat media is shameless.
I suppose we'll start getting stories about homeless people now.
If it were at a -10% rate, Jared would still say the same I'm convinced, after all, to some if the glass is overflowing this would be seen as a problem just as they would see a problem with an empty glass.
As for the title of the article, well perhaps one should shoot for a position which is "exempt". LoL's!
At any rate, why are we to believe what the Slimes says anyway? They're a party organ for the Democrats, and a discredited one at that.
Good God, they actually used the adjective "liberal". I'm in shock.
Apparently less and less are lately.
Considering the layoffs in THEIR field.
When threats are created at FR, it is for discussion and not to be taken as a promotion of acceptance. IMHO anyway.
Article sure to show up in the St.Pete Times (Bastard child of NYT)shortly
Usually to be stopped short of the scrimmage line! LoL's
Rising prices take the sting out of inflation if your product is rising faster than other prices. Oil and cattle seem to be keeping ahead so I love it.
We're DOOMED! DOOMED!

Rethinking growth strategies
As state and local governments expand efforts to promote economic development, one increasingly popular technique for encouraging investment is the use of state and local tax cuts and tax incentives to lure businesses. In the EPI study Rethinking Growth Strategies, author Robert G. Lynch analyzes the existing research to show that state and local tax cuts and tax incentives largely fail to draw firms to a particular location, substantially improve local economic development, or stimulate job creation in a cost-effective manner. A more successful approach to economic growth may involve raising taxes in order to better provide essential public services such as schools, education, and health care.

Please let me know before you take it off webpages so I can put it on hypermart.
The article says the difference between raises and inflation for a group of workers such as teachers, etc is a minus 1.1%.
If job creation means lots of my fellow men and women are now working, I can eat a 1.1% wage loss v. inflation. If present workers get greedy, then less money is available for new hires. The more participants in the money economy, the chance of raises for all is better.
I haven't had a raise in 3 years but I worked all through the downturn so I'm not unhappy.
Thanks, I made it in flamingtext.com and uploaded it to my own server.
I doubt he'll dignify your comment with a response, but if you're going to talk about another FReeper, at least have the courtesy to ping him.
