Initial claims for state unemployment insurance benefits increased to a seasonally adjusted 588,000 in the week ended Jan 24 from a revised 585,000 the prior week, the Labor Department said.

If he can heal the ocean’s and calm the terrorists why not wave his hand.
Seriously, this spending program is not going to impact this at all.
I thought it was passed to Biden during a transfer of power ceremony in the WH basement? Joey could not figure out how to turn it on and he gave it to Rahmmy, who did not feel it was powerful enough so he sent it to Google to improve its “search and destroy” mode only after Bill Gates upped its memory?
‘But I think you are a little tin hatted to think he’s punishing you directly for voting RINO. ‘
Not as much as I’m punishing myself.
I don’t think that jobless claims for a week ending four days after the inauguration should be blamed on Obama.
I don’t trust the stimulus but let’s be realistic.
My gas tank is empty and my mortgage payment is due again in 3 days - he’d better hurry!
Cheney would never give the keys to Biden. It was a well engineered fake. The real one is in storage awaiting Sarah in a few years!
I’d like to know how the numbers are compiled and a figure arrived at.
I work in an industry where the turnover is very high, with people passing through in a matter of days. They don’t really want to work. They show up for one or two scheduled shifts, and are not heard from again-until we receive a claim for unemployment, based on their 2 8-hour days.
I often think of them when I hear how many claims are filed, as I don’t know if the numbers include the serial abusers, or not. If it’s happening in my smaller city, it’s happening in every city, times ten.
It’s a joke. Just like the libs blamed every bad thing that happened on GWB, we find it amusing to play the same game, tongue in cheek, of course, with Zero.
FEMA show up yet?
(chuckle)
No, but the coast guard was here throughout, just like they were in NOLA before, during and after Katrina...course they are 17 miles away, on the Ohio river.....lol
I actually had to buy gas yesterday. I was on empty and my check has not arrived yet. Do you think if I keep the receipt that I can get reimbursed?

>>> Obama’s fault.
No... still Bush’s fault.
If you dont believe me, just ask the MSM.
THEY DEFINE THE TRUTH HERE!
“I don’t think that jobless claims for a week ending four days after the inauguration should be blamed on Obama.”
OF COURSE they should be blamed on and are Obama’s fault. From mid-Oct on, when it was clear that he was going to be elected, the jobless claims are his fault.
This is the guy that ran on taxing small business and compelling employers to pay ever more for employees, including a health plan that called for mandatory employer participation. Add to that the rat increases in minimum wage, and, it is quite logical to fire any and all excess employees in droves prior to any action on the part of Obama.
The markets - and smart businessmen - don’t act today based on today’s conditions. They act today based on expectations of conditions 6-9 months from now.
If I were trying to expect the results of runaway spending to cure runaway spending AND a gov’t determined to do so on the backs of small business - I would be ditching all but essential personnel as well.
It IS Obama’s fault. If you don’t understand that, then you have no clue how business works. THAT could qualify you for a job in Congress.
That’s the awful human tragedy element of this massive fiscal irresponsibility that really began in 1998. The four sectors getting propped up for economic recovery are Energy, Consumer Healthcare, Higher Ed and I.T. in that order. I suggest if you are laid off you utilize your skills in one of these four markets. Best of success -

Better be careful or obama will punish you with a baby next!

My wife would kill me.
