Brought to you by Congre$$, socialists, big spenders in both parties .. I'm blaming global warming and creeping socialism, not Bush, his signatures on bills are only the latest.

The roots of this whole mess are about as transparent as the global warming hoax and the liberal agenda.

There are three times as many jobs now as there was then, the idiot who wrote this should have also said that more people are unemployed than the population of Detroit.

100 years ago it would be true.

*Ping!*

Uh oh, and the world came to an end in 1945, didn’t it?

[unkus]

1945 was a transition year from military to civilian jobs.

They finally let an honest report through. It won’t hurt GWB at this point, and makes it easier to get back to faking them lower later in the year to “prove” that Obama’s policies are just the stuff.

[lawnguy]

All of this occurred since the Democrat takeover of congress. All was going pretty well until that happened.

I'm just sayin'

[Maelstorm]

Yep and it seems that no matter what happens the same bad players are being looked to for salvation. We need someone who will unleash the punishment that is deserved on our persistent bad leadership. Someone who will channel the blame where it squarely belongs. This is an opportunity but the great leader seems to be absent. John McCain could have been that leader but he failed the test being more than happy to blame the freemarket along with the the rest of the cowardly bunch on capital hill.

Wow. Lots of new members for the Free Republic Economic Denial Club today.

The unemployment rate – which hit a low of 4.4 per cent prior to the start of the credit crisis – jumped to 7.2 per cent, its highest level in 16 years. Unemployment has now risen by a full percentage point since September, when the crisis intensified with the collapse of Lehman Brothers, the investment bank.

I guess I don't know how to do this Million Man Math. The difference between 4.4 and 7.2 is one percentage point? And didn't the credit crisis really begin well after September?

There’s an excellent graph on MarketWatch.com that really puts the annual job loss picture in perspective over the past 65+ years!!!

Now you know this is actually a crisis caused by too little government spending, right? After all, the answer is massively more government spending according to congress and the president elect. It’s not a credit crisis, it’s a spending crisis and Obama is the man to solve it! His checks are all blank and the numbers on his credit cards are worn down from overuse! Well, I mean our credit cards and our checks, but that’s just details.

[SoldierDad]

What is the ratio of jobs lost per number of jobs for 1945 and now?

[pleikumud]

And Obama’s “global warming” taxes will kill still more jobs.

[April Lexington]

President-elect Barack Obama seized on the report – which he said showed the situation in the jobs market was “dire” and “deteriorating” – to urge swift passage of his proposed near-$800bn fiscal stimulus by Congress. “This morning we received a stark reminder of how urgently action is needed,” he said. “For the sake of our economy and our people, this is the time to act without delay.”

Obama will soon have the power to start a war, draft 3 million people and solve the nation's unemployment problem!

Maybe we could invade and conquer Mexico! That would keep us busy for a while and employ lots of people! Plus, they like the new statist, socialist model!

interesting thread...

Good time for the government to go after the illegals and free up some jobs for american citizens.

[Cringing Negativism Network]

BUY AMERICAN.

The job you save, may be your own.
