The decline of the fortunes of Congressional Democrats hasn’t been the straight line some of us would like to see. Nevertheless, there’s no denying the Democrats are in trouble.
The polls bring them consistently bad news. Support for ... Arizona anti illegal alien law is growing beyond what anyone could have predicted, and the Democrats are seen as the face of the “enemy” by huge majorities of voting Americans.
However slim the chances of it happening, things could improve for Democrats if the heat surrounding SB 1070 were to die down. Things could possibly get better for them but the almost certain jump in unemployment coming in the next several months, makes that doubtful even for “safe” Democrats.
The Democrats will have brought this on themselves through distorted reporting of unemployment numbers designed to bring them short term boosts in the polls. Those distorted numbers will become disasters next November.
Telling people things are improving even when they aren’t will certainly bring more workers back into the job hunting market and swell the unemployment rate past the psychologically explosive 10% rate.
Missing workers
Unemployed workers who have stopped searching for work no longer show up on unemployment figures and are classified as “Missing workers.” Because Obama is telling these “Missing Workers” there are now jobs to be found, 10% unemployment rates will be with us as far as the eye can see.
A private economist doubts the “improving” job market, he points to figures from the private Institute for Supply Management whose latest non-manufacturing survey sets the actual private sector job growth at 100,000 per month instead of the reported 200,000 per month level. It says [in May] 805,000 “missing workers” re-joined the labor pool, causing the unemployment rate to jump to 9.9 percent even ... economy created jobs...

So it is possible to escape from the re-education camps. They did not learn their lesson. They are supposed to be couch-testers who receive no pay.
They will never, NEVER say for once that THE AMERICAN PEOPLE KNOW EXACTLY WHAT OBAMA WANTS TO GIVE THEM AND THEY CHANGED THEIR MIND AND WANT NO MORE OF IT.
“Everytime I hear Obama’s regime tell us their recession is over I think of all the empty stores on the main street”
Bank closings are running at DOUBLE the 2009 rate. An inconvenient fact that is largely ignored by the MSM who is cheerleading for recovery. They are going to be very disappointed in November.
There are also millions more who are not counted in the reported numbers
who have either taken part time jobs or have signed up for temporary work.
The “under employed” as they are often called.
Odd. Democrat leadership has absolutely no trouble denying it.
The SGS Alternate Unemployment Rate reflects current unemployment reporting methodology adjusted for SGS-estimated long-term discouraged workers, who were defined out of official existence in 1994. That estimate is added to the BLS estimate of U-6 unemployment, which includes short-term discouraged workers.
Anybody But Chet Edwards... faux conservative, good ole boy, bullsh#t artist from Texas. Vote for Bill Flores... a Republican and conservative in District 17.
He says this country is coming to a grinding halt. They are not spending money on anything.
Even if the govt were to start spending the bailout money on construction its only a temporary fix.
Dont think the Dems aren’t plotting how to avoid the unemployment noose from tightening around their nicks.
I understand that the One just announced a new program to accelerate the hiring process for GOVERNMENT jobs to shorten the time from 200 days to less than 90 days.
I figure they will have to end all security & background checks to achieve this.
Memphis school Super just laid off over 500 part time teachers aides. We will see if it stands or if the UNION griping will rule.
We should be entering the third year of extended unemployment benefits by Nov. and with Pelosi’s free
health care.We’ll be creating another class of Americans-the permanent unemployed.
Actually we have learned that rising unemployment rates are a good sign.
I’m sure Obama is hoping for 25% unemployment by November, because that will show that more people are looking for work.
You can’t make this stuff up fast enough folks...
What happens when the 1 million Census worker “complete their Contract” in July???
maybe somebody can help....
I don’t understand how anyone knows:
1. the count of “missing” workers,
2. and how they know 800,000 + returned ?
