Help.

2001 with 4.7% unemployment
or
that disaster us Booooossssh year of

2006 with 4.6%unemployment
Thankfully since the Democats took both houses in Congress
Unemployment has improved dramatically.

Even though 2007 started out with an unemployment rate of 4.6% by the end of 2008
Unemployment had improved to 5.8%!

Currently we are only half way through 2009 and we up to 9.4%! Ya HOOO!

Think about that, Since gaining TOTAL power in Washington we have more than doubled the number of Americans Unemployed!

In Fact we almost doubled it in just 6 months! That’s got to be a record! Ya buddy!

Just think of it? If we can (Say it people “YES WE CAN” “YES WE CAN”) double the unemployment every 6 months then we will have achieved

18.8% by Jan 2010
37.6% by jun 2010
75.2% by Jan 2011
Right on track for 97.2% unemployment by March 2011!

Finally I will be able to PROVE I saved 3 million jobs cuz that’s all that will be left!

And his fictional “saved jobs” and his fictional “created jobs”

When I heard they were hiring 75,000 temporary interns, I thought, ‘Gee Bubba must be droolin’.

and they are desperate to pass anything
to keep some of their NUT roots base
from revolting as well

Heck all the Democrats are REVOLTING (crash) :)

The tax
mans taken all my dough,
And left me in my stately home,
Lazing on a sunny afternoon.
And I cant sail my yacht,
Hes taken everything Ive got,
All Ive gots this sunny afternoon.

Save me, save me, save me from this squeeze.
I got a big fat mama trying to break me.
And I love to live so pleasantly,
Live this life of luxury,
Lazing on a sunny afternoon.
In the summertime
In the summertime
In the summertime

By the way, the plan is to flood money into the system in 2010 so it gets funneled into the hands of vote-buyers. You see how the relatively small amount of money is damn near untrackable now, right? Wait till 2010 when hundreds of billions of dollars find its way into the hands of ACORN and related organizations. THAT’S the plan.

I agree with what you are saying but it will be the greatest magic trick of all time if he can maintain cover for the next 18 months while the country crumbles in higher unemployment, rising gas prices, etc. I realize the media will serve and protect but the reality of life will still exist. As much as he thinks he can, a few eloquent words will not feed moderates and independents. He will always have his core constituency but the middle is his gamble.

Maybe a little of both.

Big Daddy Barack, Big Momma Pelosi and Weird Uncle Reid are sitting on a gold mine. They can’t just hand it out to anyone. Every dime must be given to those who will use it to further cement their power.

Instead, the flow of money slowed to the smallest amount since Porkulus launched

Anyone still not believe me that it’s not that Obama is incompetent… It’s that he’s deliberately destroying our economy and the Republic along with it?

Us was supposed to auction $110 billion in debt this week, wasn’t it? How’d that sale go?

Treasuries rose, driving yields lower, after the last of three government debt auctions this week drew higher-than- forecast demand

Welcome to the permanent crisis.

NeighborhoodCatLady on June 26, 2009 at 2:09 PM

Yeah. We’re doing just fine without crap-and-tax, but they’re ramming it through as if the world will explode tomorrow if it doesn’t get approved.

But the crisis I’m talking about is real (although it’s entirely orchestrated by Obama & cronies), and a total collapse of our economy and the dollar. If they lose on Obamacare and crap-and-tax, it’ll make it harder to orchestrate the crisis. So I’m hoping they lose big.

All Obama cares about is creating a national crisis which he can “solve” with full-blown radical socialism with himself as dictator.

Welcome to the permanent crisis.

It works just like the permanent revolutions in Iran, USSR, PRC, etc.

If you had a fictional president bent on destroying the US economy, how would he/she do things differently then Obama?

Because I cannot think of a single thing.

See my post above.

people who exhaust their unemployment benefits ARE NOT COUNTED.

No. People who exhaust their eunemployment benefits are no longer counted in the continuing claims number. There are still counted as unemployed as long as they are actively looking for work.

People who have run out of their standard 26 weeks of unemployment, but who are on extended unemployment benefits, also no longer count in continuing claims.

People who are no longer looking for work are “counted” (somehow) as “discouraged workers.”

If spending the stimulus doesn’t get us to the breaking point sooner, then it’s low-priority.

And North Korea knows this. ;)
