Sounds like a left-wing democrat. Everything is bad and nothing is good and they are covert democrats. That is why I canceled my subscription to NewsMax.

I wonder what he said about the Clinton years, when job growth was fueled by the dot-bomb economy? It seems like our economy has digested that disaster quite well.

If you read Paul Craig Roberts' recent writings...
You'll see that he is definitely NOT taking his medications!

The only misleading hype is the wretched garbage flowing out of the Maximum LOSER Paul Craig Roberts pen. Mr Roberts bet the farm on attacking Bush, he lost. He is just another irrelevant tin foil hat wearing hysteric. I am surprised anyone still waste our time posting his ignorant nonsense.
I can not figure out which is more appalling. Mr Roberts arrogant refusal to admit error or his complete lack of even the most basic grasp of Economics.

Who the Hell even works in manufacturing anymore? Gimme a break? I work for a "manufacturing" company and most of our employees are in sales or accounting or service. There are maybe 8 or 9 people actually involved in the "manufacturing".

Spinmeisters made the most out of the 215,000 jobs. Looking beyond the glitter at the real facts, this is what we see.

"Twenty-one thousand of those jobs were government positions supported by taxpayers"
If that's really true, for one month alone, that's both astounding and disgusting.
To: Rodney King; Willie Green
I see the Pat Buchanan trolls like Roberts have taken their cue from the Clintonites. Caught in repeated political errors and repeated misstatements on economic realities just lie lie lie then lie some more rather then admit the complete intellectual bankruptcy of their failed neo-isolationist dogma

Good one, Laz!
The 11,000 new factory jobs and the 15,000 of the previous month are a relief from the usual loss. However, these gains are more than offset by the job cuts recently announced by General Motors and Ford.
Of course, those job cuts have nothing to do with the fact that consumers have been buying the cars of other manufacturers. /sarc

Before you try tackling anything as complex as Economics, first try learning how to use spell check .

"Really? You don't care whether science classes teach accepted science or not? You wouldn't care if, for example, astrology were taught alongside astronomy?"
You ever see news clips of people on the manufacturing "line"? They seem miserable. Imagine screwing a widget 8 hours a day, every fricking day....
I notice that more and more "manufacturing" is highly automated, especially the lower skilled type.
