If there were no steady stream of laid off workers signing up and then exhausting their unemployment benefits to replace the ones dropped off from the official rolls, the official government unemployment rate would be close to zero, an impossibility that would expose the Obama scheme for the scam that it is.

I maintain that in a nation of so many economic illiterates, this rainbow hut bozo is impossible to 'EXPOSE'.

Elect Bernie or Shrillary and we are DONE FOR GOOD.

Employment ALWAYS goes down in January. Just like it always goes up in June. So the numbers are seasonally adjusted to eliminate the periodic change.

And the unadjusted change in non farm payroll jobs was -3MILLIOON. But that was all seasonal.

Since Obama is in ofice, there has been less & less reporting on every Thursday of the NEW claims for unemployment. I used to follow that closely. Now, I cannot find the numbers.

IF there are 375,000 new claims every week and new jobs of 150,000 once a month, that is a large difference, and then Obama says that UNEMPLOYMENT is down to 4.9%

There isn’t a single statistic I believe out of this administration any more.

Transparent they are NOT.

Sadly, I think we are already done for and have been since the Democrats went on their binge from 2009-2011.

We are unavoidably going to enter some dark times as our fiscally overextended country tries to unwind the excesses of the Obama era and it's unsustainable yearly borrowing binge that funds 50% of our annual budget.

Who ever is elected in 2016 is going to face hard times and hard choices and the type of President we elect in 2016 is going to determine what the country looks like after we come out at the end of the crisis.

Never forget this little factoid. Obie could not wreck this havoc on America all by his little lonesome!!

Debt Up $3,968,445,855,460.28 Under Boehner's Spending Deals; $26,627.43 Per Worker

The GOP has controlled the US House were all appropriation bills HAVE TO BE INTRODUCED and passed onto the US Senate. One cannot blame Obama for that.

Yes, but Harry Reid essentially locked in the Democrat Era budgets of massive spending until Republicans pried the Senate away from the Democrats in 2012.

We have not had a real budget passed since 2010, and the Government has run run on continuing resolutions essentially rolling over and extending the last Reid/Pelosi/Obama budget before the Democrats lost control of the House.

Boehner actually tried one budget showdown with Obama but Obama’s overwhelming popularity and the media backlash on the Republicans by the Obama lackys in the media intimidated the Republicans into rolling over.

Like it or not, Obama had his media propaganda organ in his pocket and the stupid and economic illiterate American public on his side and the Republicans were left twisting in the wind when they went out on a limb to start a budget fight.

The Republicans have behaved badly, but try looking at things from their perspective.

America elected Obama twice and has blindly supported him for almost 8 years. Every time the Republicans try to put up a fight, they are beaten into the ground by a lying media and a feckless American public that buys their propaganda hook line and sinker.

The American people deserve the misery and hard times Obama is setting the stage for because they are bringing disaster upon themselves because they voted for Obama - twice.

Has there been any month since the Disaster in Chief was elected that there weren’t more job losses than job gained?

Very simple - if I were Boner I would have allowed Reid and Obie to shut the Government down before I would have caved each and every time over each and every little thing they promised they were going to stop. AMENSTY? Read the headlines today on how Obie has told the illegals to say they arrived before 2014 and they are NOT even to be arrested, let alone told to show up for a hearing and being deported. AMERICA is over and the GOP shares every bit of the blame. PAUL RINO IS BONER LITE.

There is no wonder why the insurgent cadidiates are polling so well - we are not going to elect any of the elite anymore.

The economy is about to implode. The kennel where we take our dogs is now using half of it’s space. I would say dog boarding would be one of the first things cut when the paycheck stops.

Right. There is now so much debt that if the economy recovers, it is bad for the economy. I pointed out to a liberal co-worker a couple of years ago that if the economy recovered to bring interest rates back up to historically average rates, that the debt service would go from the then-current $180 B to over $800 B...forever ( or until the economy crashed again).
