UNEMPLOYMENT BACK UP TO 9.0%

[satexasguy]

statistics are great because there are so many of them. come on guys, no matter how you slice and dice it, the reality is that unemployment is too damn high and not really getting any better. Just ask what the unemployed think about the numbers improving.

The ADP Employment Report being just one very good example. Here, let me teach you somthing ..

Obviously Gallup reports on such things as well.

You must be a sorry ass investor if you don't understand data sourcing in today's economy and digital world.

ADP employment report doesn't include Government jobs. And doesn't include UE %
And I already get that report every month in my email since years before it was ever published.

. . . So just how "bendy" are you when pressed into duty?

Winning an election doesn't mean the person is right, unless, of course, you totally supported George W Bush for eight years.

Winning an election just means that you fooled enough people for a long enough time to get elected. Either that, or you gave the company who makes the voting machines some choice contracts.

No, Kayla, Af-Freakin is absolutely right.

This is by far the most robust recovery following any recession since World War II.

Didn't you see my previous statement that I agreed with you? Just look how strong this recovery is!

Consider the effectiveness of the $825 billion ARRA (stimulus package) signed into law in February 2009. Absent presidential leadership, congress might have fucked it up with a lot of stuff like gimmicky refundable tax credits, payoffs to states with no accountability so that they could kick the can down the road regarding responsible budget decisions, and wasteful pork-barrel projects.

But President Obama exercised strong leadership and made sure that didn't happen! We concentrated on valuable, shovel-ready infrastructure projects that we all know put about 3.5 million unemployed Americans back to work.

Now because of the effectiveness of President Obama's economic recovery plan, we are virtually certain to see consistent, sustained year-over-year GDP growth averaging at least 3.5% annually for years to come!

Yes, there's absolutely no doubt that the stimulus package saved millions of jobs.

Who could possibly believe otherwise?
