Hypothesize all you want. It doesn't amount to a hill of beans.

We all are aware of your constant naysaying so more of it is
nothing new.

As for the facts of the jobless rate, the jobless rate was 5.8
percent - only 6/10 of one percent greater when Wm. Clinton
was in office for two years and every liberal newspaper was
touting how great the economy was at that time.

If you are too stupid to recognize biased political rhetoric
when you read it that's something you should work on instead
of blindly repeating it. What a putz!

"Even if the economy picks up momentum in the second half of this
year, the nation's jobless rate, now at a nine-year high of 6.4
percent, could hover in that range or creep higher in coming months,

accommodate all the additional job seekers who would enter the market,
attracted by an improved climate. "

Good luck America, that's all you've got going at the moment!


You really should stick to politics or something else where it is easy to
pretend you know what you are talking about. Australia's unemployment rate is
6.1%, a meaningless difference, and pundits there are saying it is a "tight"
labor market. The US unemployment rate is lower than in just about every major
European country.

The unemployment rate is about 6.5, the highest in 9 years.

That the economy is feeble at best? It's been getting worse for
the entire time Bush has been in office. The trend is down not
up. The fact that the economy is growing slowly only says that
eventually there will be a turnaround and eventually the employment
numbers will improve. Eventually can take a long time.

It certainly does negate most of the "good news." Any serious
economist will tell you that.

So, that doesn't negate the good news. It takes the unemployment figures
a little time to catch up. It's not computed every day, you know.

Exactly what I've been trying to get through their thick skulls.

The economy is always good when a Democrat is President
because that's the way the liberal media reports it even though
it might be in serious trouble.

Given the same conditions of unemployment when a Republican
is President, the liberal media reports gloom and doom and
the worst this and the worse that and don't even give people
credit for being able to do the math. Instead of saying the
unemployment percentage is higher than any time since the
Clinton years, they say it hasn't been that high in nine years
which happens to early in Clinton's term of office. Duh. Can
you say, "Step on your own dick?"

When people become so blinded by rage and hate because
their party has lost elections and lost favor with the American
people that they no longer understand that most of what they
read in newspapers or hear on TV is political rhetoric then it
means they are puppets doing the bidding of the politicians.

This is sad because a bunch of Democrat puppets is exactly
what the Democrat puppet masters (liberal leaders) have
been working for all these years.

What about them? They were a disgrace. In Clinton's
last year in office the economy started into a recession
that lasted for three quarters and the Democrats covered
it up. Clinton's big tax increases combined with 9-11 and
the normal but unpredictable business cycle all combined
to create the short recession that Bush inherited and has
worked hard to end and has ended. It's onward and
upwards from here.

You Democrats can attempt to re-write history all you want
but you cannot change the time table.

What about unemployment #s? You know the subject you brought up (see

You Democrats ....

Democrats? Sorry Simple but I voted Republican in every election since
1960, campaigned for Goldwater and Slippery Dick and was a dues paying
member of the GOP for decades. But that may be about to change. Like I
said, the only thing lower than a tax-and-spend Democrat is a
borrow-and-spend Republican. Morality? Clinton sold military secrets to
Red China. Reagan screwed Ford then sold out to Iran to embarass Carter
then let Ollie hang out to dry when he diverted some of the ill-gotten
$$$ to the Contras, remember? Which is worse, selling military stuff to
enemies and screwing interns or selling to enemies and screwing your
friends?
