My friends and I have been discussing this particular report months in advance...
We felt strongly that this season’s elections, and next season’s elections would be strongly determined by the August and September jobs numbers...
And of course, then the discussion turned to how bad it would be and how many revisions would have to come out before Americans got the real, true picture.
I believe with these jobs numbers, Americans feel that something is deeply wrong and these Americans - as manifest by the Tea Party movement - want to see more hope and change - yes, but a different flavor than what Obama, Reid, Pelosi, Frank, Dodd et al are serving...
These are the same people in many respects that just wanted things to get better...
Now, since they have seen the failures of both Dems and Repubs, they are looking harder for answers, making perscriptions, getting more involved, becoming more active...and many have even rediscovered the Constitution - and some have even stumbled onto the Free Market - and that is enough to give me hope.
God bless America and the American people. Its good to see you awake and alive again, participating in this country that our forefathers left us.
Perhaps, in this case the unemployment can work in our favor...Perhaps it will free up enough angry, freedom loving Americans to make a mark on this moment in history and leave an example to our children that shows that we will never allow this to happen to us again. We will never allow our rights to be trampled and stolen again...
I can hope.
Hope has changed to fear. Bad news for the commiecrats and the MSM.
Good post. Welcome to FR!
What I find interesting is that IT SEEMS as if everyone reading this article thinks that it means there are only 465,000 unemployed people.
This is 465,000 NEW unemployed people. Added to a HUGE number that have been on the rolls for a while, and those who are unemployed and no longer get UE benefits.
WHAT is the figure on that TOTAL ? How many people were newly HIRED in the same period?
The GMC (Goverment/Media Complex) doesn’t want you to know.
At that rate, how long before everyone is unemployed ?
