I guess America has no problems which need to be addressed this week. Funny, I thought there were still economic and foreign policy issues to address, but I must have been wrong.

The difference is that Moses had a workable vision for his people.

Just wait the Holocaust will be here soon enough.

You must live in a different country, old coot, if you believe this one is collapsing.

Just look around and you will see that things are generally improving!

. . . I think you just like to bitch about something and most anything will do!

By any measure the jobless rate is above 8% and the "actual" rate when factoring in the underemployed is above 11% and almost 12% when one includes those who are out of work and want a job regardless of whether they were looking for one or not.

It is in the interest of the current administration to "adjust" the numbers to defect attention away from the reality and publish the stats BEFORE the data is "seasonally" adjusted or examined critically.

In the fall of 2000 (September) the incumbent administration (BLS) revised the method used in computing the numbers of persons in the work force to a point that the labor unions got upset because the actual unemployment was much higher than reflected ... in fact if you look at the historical figures you will see the footnotes indicating the change AND you will see the same figures posted 2 months in a row.

And how about those gasoline prices .... that's getting better too!

FYI: I want the economy to improve regardless of who occupies the WH. As far as I am concerned it is an "a-political" issue ... this country's economy is a matter of national security as far as I am concerned, and that is non-partisan.

But to say things are getting better is propoganda for almost 19 million peopel in this country who are unemployed and want a job, and now they get saddled with almost $4 a gallon to go look for one.

I think the Slacker-In-Chief is up to round 95 in his golf indulgence.

And let's not forget that Obama played his 70th round on Memorial Day 2011. Yes, a day that the US President should spend his time on less self-indulgent activities; like honoring our war dead, Obama went golfing ! My guess is that with the November elections (and campgain) upon us, Obama will cut back his golfing in his phony attempt to look Presidential and serious.......but Americans won't be fooled in 2012; we now know Obama got to his elevated position because of affirmative action, not because of competency.

Do you really think the loss of liberty and skyrocketing debt are good things? And policing the world? And giving billions of dollars to governments that hate us? And giving money to bankrupt businesses? And giving even more money to corrupt banks? And taking over the auto and healthcare industry when they can't even run a post office? And accepting money from thieves like Joh Corzine? A growth rate of 2.5%? Unemployment still at 8% or better? Our nation's credit being downgraded? Gas prices of $4.00 per gallon or more? Unrestrained printing of money by the Fed?

And you think things are ok? You need to look around, and take your ridiculous partisan blinders off.

What would you do if your stategy was to make America fail?

President Obama wants to turn this country into a socialist/fascist state. Yes, I hope he fails. Sue me.

Lee Judge, the local artist, is partisan radical progressive who lacks the brain power like Louis to understand what they are using as an example.

Moses was "leading" the Hebrews to a new home. He was not leading from behind but from in front. He didn't force the Hebrews to go along with him, they had a choice. The opposition to Moses wanted a central power to control their lives (Pharoah), someone who would "own" them but would provide government jobs (slavery), healthcare (none), food (little), and security (they get to entombed with their pharoah). Moses offered love of God, the risk of failure and the risk of success.

We see what happened to Pharoah 3300 years ago and today in Egypt. We also see what happened to the Jews through history and today. Judge and Louie would support another genocide and holocaust. They are both damned for what they propose even if Louis is just a copy cat and has not original thoughts of his own.

Here Louie, a present of your new avatar. His name is Renfield. He has not thoughts of his own but only does his master's bidding (Dracula) in between he eats small bugs and spiders. Enjoy...

There are other countries doing way worse than us, its sad but maybe there could be hope for the US but I personally dont really think it will get better. People with degrees are having problems getting work. I wonder when I am done with school in a couple of months be worth having a degree. The government could improve first by gettiing rid of welfare and make people go out and try to get a job, and stop allowing illegal aliens collect welfare and foodstamps and producing babies in the US just to collect a check and other free resources. Why should americans have to pay for others who cross to the country illegally and dont want to do anything.

The last I heard 50 percent of recent graduates have been unable to find a job.

Could it be that employers do not want to hire because of the uncertainty of what sort of new government regulations will be imposed on them such as Obamacare?

mirandalee · 04-23-2012, 02:17 PM

I cant find a job in san antonio but I have been getting a whole lot of good paying jobs in Tampa and that is because I have not been working for like almost 7 years lol.. but some places will hire you faster if you have degree or currently in school guess its a good thing I am going to school because most places want for the individual to have some college knowledge. Guess I will be moving soon to florida cant be a provider forever lol..
