"The [US] jobs report is just awful"

How's the job market in India, the Philippines, China, or maybe Ireland?? Betcha they had double digit job growth, 90% of it fueled by the growing U.S. economy.

No worries, mate! The gov'ment is gonna take care of all of us. Hey... I have idea. Maybe the U.S. government can start a national job placement agency. We can employ a million Americans.. talk about job creation! All they'll have to do is create a listing of every employed American over the age of 35 with a college degree, and start matching their jobs with qualified foreign-national applicants (FNAs). Then they can take bids from the FNAs on your job. Heck, there'll probably be 10 qualified FNAs for every single job. Wages will drop though the floor, for those serfs (oops..employees) still working. Inflation will drop below zero (i.e. "deflation"). The "business friendly" environment will jump-start the economy, creating yet more jobs.

Democrats will have millions of new voters, plus millions more permanent dependents for the welfare system.

Everyone wins!

Beat me to it.
How is this for irony. They ship jobs overseas to save on payroll. Then stock valuation drops.
Guess they'll have to fake up earnings and hide liabilities.

Serves 'em right, hate it for me and other investors.
