gee if that's the case

why is unemployment at 9%?

Obama.
Your portfolio performance is tied to the unemployment rate? Mine isn't.

I don't know, mine seems to be mirroring the unemployment rate lately.

Obama.

The stimulus was passed so that the unemployment rate would stay below
8%. That's what Obama promised. The check is in the mail...

gee. looks like unions are good for WORKING people.

and CEO's have had their way in the last 8 years with the GOP.

how's our economy doing? we a strong, economically powerful country
with no unions? we have an economy that's EXACTLY the way the right
wants it

no regulations on wall street

no unions

so tell me: how we doing??

I am surprised that the country has been able to do so well all the
while union membership has been dwindling.


do so well?

the middle class hasnt had a pay increase in 35 years.

that's the reason demand is low. no pay increases.

and that's because the middle class has no unions

Sure, Bob. Keep telling yourself that and don't forget to blame a
street in New York for your financial problems.

I just checked my 401k and it is up 4.3% this year already. Last year it
was up 15.8%. Sucks to be me.

do the math. how much do you have to GAIN to make up for a 35% LOSS
like the average 401K lost in 2009?

if you cant figure it out, i'll let you know

and your 20% increase?

i'll give you a hint: it's not enough
