Perhaps in two weeks the break even point will be 450,000......but then again, we’ll have the June jobs/jobless numbers to distract us just as the release of the SPR distracted us from the numbers last week.

Oh he’s friggin toast. This summer has been horrible for him. Can you imagine next summer with jobs and economic data being even worse, a presidential campaign unloading on him, and people realizing that in a less than a year they can vote him out?

If June’s jobless rate goes down, which it shouldn’t, you will know they are cooking the books.
If it goes up, they will be in full defcon 1 panic mode, and will lash out vociferously and in chorus at the Republicans for trashing the economy for political gain. And the MSM (Moron Slave Media) will be complicitly backing them up...........

The jobs economy is not going to change until there is a President who hears the
SUCKING SOUND
of jobs exported in trade deals. Obama is deaf and so are all the GOP candidates. Green jobs and tax cuts are just election boob bait for the Bubbas. Reimport our industrial engine or we will sink deeper.

Mark Halperin is right.
At this point, people are starting to realize that Joe Wilson was correct which means Mark Halperin is even MORE correct!

Real unemployment is 23%.
During the Great Depression it was 25%.

I guess there were no hurricanes/mudslides/lunar eclipses/etc. last week for the MSM to blame the poor results on. /s
To: SkyPilot
The graph simply proves that the economy is racist.
