Hopefully this isn’t a cause for more easing by the fed. They seem to have a hair trigger. You hear me Fed? Stay off the crack!

If, every time the word “unexpectedly” was used when describing the “rise in jobless claims”, everyone in the country were expected to drink a shot, we’d be one wasted nation right about now.

Seriously, isn’t that MEME becoming tired by now, even for the MSM?

Just a “modest” increase. They’ll have to resurrect the old “GOP in White House” style book for after January 20, 2013.

800,000/mo.

Democrats have trillion+ dollar deficits cause they can't do math.

372,000/wk = ~1,500,000/mo.

When it goes up, it’s unexpected.
When it goes down, it’s unexpected.
When it stays the same, it’s unexpected.
These ‘econo-misseds’ never expect to get it right, I suppose...........

I just read someplace — gotta find it — that at some meeting they indicate they will do another QE.

A Republican president would have been hounded from office more than a year ago with this economic record.

Near term: don’t spend ten cents on ANYTHING that you don’t need until the end of October. Every retail sale of ANY item is just another vote for Obama.

Yahoo headline is that "Jobless claims rise as labor market HEALS slowly".

For the past three years they've been using the same old tired terms to try to put a positive spin on a never ending stream of bad economic news: healing, recovery, modest improvement, postive trend, momentum, etc. It's all window dressing for their guy in the White Hut.

don't spend ten cents

I've got too many friends either own small businesses, including stores, or work for them.

However, I don't think a bad economy needs anything more to remain bad than Obama's promise to let the Bush tax cuts expire.

We have a new Qualifier too.....’modestly increased’.

So sick of the media in this country.

“clueless voters had elected a Marxist as president”


That is a FACT! And the gullible voters are clueless largely due to a mendacious and corrupt media that is nothing more than as PR apparatus for liberals.

Man....I hate being right all time (only joking). But......I am right about this, as gasoline prices rise, unemployment goes up. That is the way Obama continues to destroy the USA economy and new job increases. That any sane American can vote for this America hater, Obama is far beyond me!!!

“Aw Jeez, where’s my pic of Jack Carson.”

If you are referring to the pix of the guy with his head in his hand saying “Jeez, not this **** again”, I don’t think that is Jack Carson. I have been trying to figure just who it is though.

I just spent $300 repairing my dryer and I bought some Romney/Ryan window stickers, is that allowed? ;o)

I thought this was “Recovery Summer”?

Oh, wait, that was last summer. This was supposed to be “Recovery Summer II: Electric Boogaloo”.
