A guy I know that worked, and I say worked, as a drug rep was laid off last month, though might still be technically on the payroll till August. 6 out of 9 people in the area got axed from that company.
Notice how AP - All Propaganda (all the time) immediately shifts focus to an unrelated issue, mainly an umpteenth extension of increased federal deficit spending to extend free money to the jobless who have already been receiving government payments for years, which of course in no way affects those who are filing claims for the first time. Nonetheless, AP leaves you with the impression that without this extension the newly unemployed are somehow screwed (by those heartless and evil Republicans in the Senate).
All Propaganda then goes on to blame the "unexpected" increase in the newly unemployed on the expiration of another federal giveaway funded by borrowed money:
Greater layoffs by construction firms fueled the increase, a Labor Department analyst said. Home sales and construction slumped in May after the expiration of a popular homebuyer tax credit.The implication here is that the employment situation would be just hunky-dory if only that sweet, sweet, sweet "popular" homebuyer giveaway hadn't "expired". No mention that it was temporary in the first place.
Man, don't you just love the objective "journalism" service performed by our indispensable professional "journalists". No doubt, Western civilization as we know it will cease to exist with the impending collapse of the main stream media. And if "as we know it" refers to the destruction of the Fourth Estate as the propaganda organ for the DNC, then, why hell, that's a good thing, isn't it?
Unexpected exit for the Kenyan Catastrophe......
enough already with the âUNEXPECTEDLYâ - the old dying lying lame stream media is totally unbelievable.
The liberal reality is all ways “Unexpected!”.
We needed a leader.
We got amateur night at the Apollo.
June figure... +6.0%
July figure (forecast)... -7.4% (that in itself would have made this month the 3rd worst month on record)
July figures (actual... -30.0% (a new world record, by far)
Even the biggest economic pessimists got blindsided on that figure!
Our economy is plunging into deep and turbulent waters...
The only people who didn;t expect this are obots and sheep.
the only business doing well at this point is the maker of Kool-aid
