The official unemployment survey is based on those folks who have applied for unemployment benefits or who are registered at unemployment offices for job openings.
So since the Buchannaite Right has their slogan to spew forth day in and day out, they simply don’t need to be bothered with simply factual reality. After all, they don’t need no stinkin’ facts, they have a dogma!
Where are your facts? If you think that the President of the US is "just ONE guy," you are the one not dealing with reality..
Question for you. HOW does the President’s “Bully Pulpit” work That right. He has to rely on the “Journalists” to report his message to the people. He has to rely on THEIR medium.
We have been over this ground many times before. The President can address the nation on primetime without any media filters. He does hold televised press conferences, which can be seen in their entirety. He does do a weekly radio address. He can offer the networks exclusive interviews and stipulate the terms, e.g., unedited, amount of time, etc. He is far from powerless.
You make it sound like the MSM is running this country. They are not. If that were the case, Bush would never have been elected--twice.
That's "cold hard political reality."
Exactly and how many of those are truly looking for work.
We need more free speech, not less.
So, rather than attempting to quash the use the astoundingly incisive term “Marxist conservative” please join with me in encouraging all participants to liberally employ equally cogent terms such as:
“jumbo shrimp”
“guest host”
“semi-boneless ham”
and
“bray’s intellect”

So what do you think is a Fair Wage for a migrant worker so that you won’t feel that he is a slave?? 50K? 100K?? Fact is they are sneaking into this Country to chase their dream of a better life and that is why they are staying.
I have fought anti-capitalists on the Left for 25 years and not going to stop since they’ve moved to the Right!

Does the government interfere with the Free Market by enforcing our borders and not allowing illegal aliens to enter?
Labor is only one major cost in the production of goods and yes it deserves a free market approach. In the end we are all costs in the production of what we produce. Pretty simple really.
The Free Market just says to keep costs under sales revenue and make a profit. The gummit only adds costs and makes markets less efficient.
No need to be defensive - I just would like some clarification. So your definition of the Free Market is "to keep costs under sales revenue and make a profit?"
And it’s obvious who’s helping them sneak.

So now you need a definition of Free Market? Econ 101 the free exchange of goods and services. There done.

The last thing either Clinton can stand is an appointment with the truth. Their entire existence has been hiding behind lies, distortions and outright power grabs.
I don't see her ever sitting in front of a jury of her peers, they are both just too slick,and if there is any way in hell to delay the inevitable until they can figure out how to delay it all together they will.
And then of course if they ever are called to actually account for themselves their memory gets really poor really quick.
If you can nail either one of them you are the best there is.
And finally don't ever underestimate their power and reach, it's what keeps them around today and not in jail where they both belong.
I”m bowing out too much for me.
Hope you’re not gonna wait around for an answer. Tomorrow’s a work day.

You are defending the indefensible. Since when is it anti-capitalist to prevent people from entering our country illegally and working illegally?
Thanks, Anita! Just read your first nugget (UNREPORTED Poll-Result about MSM -> Just 23% have confidence in TV News & 22% have confidence in newspapers. That is, 78% of people DON’T believe the Media. Quite an accomplishment (!).), which should be read by everyone on this thread! VERY IMPORTANT STUFF!!!
I have no problem with the wall, it is the deportation and vilification of business that is anti-capitalist.
Ass for indefensible, that is only your heavily biased opinion.

Dittos here MissMagnolia.
True. We also didn’t have the social programs of the New Deal.
