Down with the establishment!! Up with households!!
I am shocked that NYT would even mention the other side.
This is a hide in plain sight article. It is published on a Saturday when the fewest people will read it. Think I'm wrong? Ask yourself if this would ever be published front page above the fold on a weekday, say Monday morning.
Articles like this enable the minded fools to delude themselves into think that the ratmedia isn't bias.
Here's my own personal survey. I'm a family law attorney and always need to know what my clients do for a living. It seems to me that a lot more of them are working for themselves or for small businesses.. and they're doing ok. They're consulting, repairing, doing hair, remodeling, selling real estate, etc. In other words, the economy is adjusting in its own way because midamerican middleclass people are hard workers and welfare isn't tempting them to do otherwise.
Yeah I was shocked to see this in the NY Times, too. Perhaps the shareholders have been grumbling about the Times' plummeting credibility.
I don't know if I'm going to have to don asbestos here or not.....but something has been rolling around in my mind for sometime now about all this whining about loss of jobs.
To me it is not the job of the President, or any other government entity to create jobs....that is the job of the private sector. To me if government is creating jobs it means that government is GROWING.
Mybe I'm missing something, but I don't want the government creating jobs - I just want it to create an atmosphere for the private sector to do so - particularly by less onerous taxes and regulations.
Am I totally off base here????
Just one of the major reasons I'm a Republican. The self-employed tend toward creating small businesses, which is the largest employer of all. The Democrats only hold on small business is the income tax. And the Democrats know it and they use it.
I am bracing for the August numbers.
We could see negative job numbers.
August of last year saw negative numbers in the establishment survey before going up in Sept. and higher in October.
