What happened to all of the doom and gloom economic threads?

Unemployment rate falls to lowest since March 2009

WASHINGTON (AP) — Small businesses and startups that were skittish about the economy this summer started hiring in bigger numbers this fall, helping drive the unemployment rate down to 8.6 percent in November, the lowest in two and a half years.

It;s mostly because the BLS went back and revised jobs data upward for each of the last four months,



Which your extremist sources filtered and cherry-picked for you and told you not to read on your own.

mercMORON's hemorrhoid is back, how cool.

Gotta love how good news is bad news when the Democrats are in power. Republicans are desperate to spin this though. We can't have anything good happen to America before the election can we?

I have a lesson to give today.

Then I will cut firewood. I am a fencer of the wood-cut school.

Gotta get ready for ice-storm season and all that stimulation which leads to higher utility bills even as it pays the guys some overtime...

I've been cutting firewood for a month now. I had two trees go down in a storm and have been crunching them slowly but surely since. The big parts are easy (with the chain saw) but the smaller pieces are a pain in the neck without a chipper (going back to look for a chipper on-line now).

Unemployment went down to 8.6% because 315,000 people gave up looking for a job.

How come you don't mention the unemployment rate stagnating when more people are looking for a job? How come the change in the number of job seekers can only be mentioned when it's in your favor that month, hypocrite?

I remember when the unemployment rate was under 5% and the Dems and the media were complaining ceaselessly and were saying how bad it was and that it was misleading.

Now it's 8.6% and they say "My, that's really good".

I guess if you expect less, that's what you get.

This is the bestest news ever.

Good point. This is a bad sign.

If the economy were improving, as we were prepared for in the past, the unemployment number would actually go up as more people rushed into the market and energy prices would skyrocket due to the theory of Peak Oil...

Yesterday, I filled up at $3.08 a gallon.

We've truly turned the corner.

I have this huge red oak that was alive last year, but died this last winter.

It is cured in place, ready to cut down and will probably last for a month.

We use the small stuff on the steep slopes for erosion control.

The Ice Storms Cometh.

Something's wrong with the economy
Forget Friday's misleading drop in the unemployment rate. The evidence is building that global growth has stalled. And it's about to get much worse.


I think the most notable development this week was Thursday's big release of global factory activity surveys. It wasn't pretty. Overall, the JP Morgan Global Manufacturing PMI dropped for the third straight month and fell below the 50 level -- the line of demarcation between growth or contraction in monthly factory activity -- for the first time since recession was descending upon us back in early 2008.

Think of how much better off the economy would be if Republicans and their Glibertarian counterparts had worked to put the needs of their country first, instead of their party and ideology!!

Where's ol' Patrick, the rw Communist?

I have another quote for him from the Founding Fathers on limited government.

"We came equals into this world, and equals shall we go out of it. All men are by nature born equally free and independent. To protect the weaker from the injuries and insults of the stronger were societies first formed; when men entered into compacts to give up some of their natural rights, that by union and mutual assistance they might secure the rest; but they gave up no more that the nature of the thing required. Every society, all government, and every kind of civil compact therefore, is or ought to be, calculated for the general good and safety of the community. Every power, every authority vested in particular men is, or ought to be, ultimately directed to this sole end; and whenever any power or authority whatever extends further, or is of longer duration than is in its nature necessary for these purposes, it may be called government, but it is in fact oppression.

Upon these natural just and simple positions were civil laws and obligations framed, and from this source do even the most arbitrary and despotic powers this day upon earth derive their origin. Strange indeed that such superstructures should be raised upon such a foundation! But when we reflect upon the insidious arts of wicked and designing men, the various and plausible pretences for continuing and increasing authority, the incautious nature of the many, and the inordinate lust of power in the few, we shall no longer be surprised that free-born man hath been enslaved, and that those very means which were contrived for his preservation have been perverted to his ruin; or, to borrow a metaphor from Holy Writ, that the kid hath been seethed in his mother's milk.

...

It has been lately observed by a learned and revered writer, that North America is the only great nursery of freemen now left upon the face of the earth. Let us cherish the sacred deposit. Let us strive to merit this greatest encomium that ever was bestowed upon any country. In all our associations; in all our agreements let us never lose sight of this fundamental maxim-- that all power was originally lodged in, and consequently is derived from, the people. We should wear it as a breastplate, and buckle it on as our armour."

Mason, who's been called "The Father of the Bill of Rights," was a delegate representing Virginia at the Constitutional Convention.

He, along with Virginia delegate Patrick Henry, voted against ratification of the Constitution in the Virginia Convention, feeling that it delivered too much power into the hands of a central government, at the expenses of the states.

The elitist class is having lobster for lunch:

http://moonbattery.com/michelle-obama-living-large.jpg

Presidents and First Ladies are expected to dine at places like the Waldorf. Even candidates from 2008. The (fake-looking) check from that place is less than Le Bernardin and a hundred other high-caliber places around this city that thousands of fat cat Republicans (who wouldn't be caught dead in a Burger King) go to dine on a daily basis. By the way, I can have good lobster anytime I feel like it and I'm totally middle class. Here's a start:

$16 for a full lobster roll. For some, that's elitist. By the way, unlike your cut n' paste, Luke's Lobster Truck debuted here this past May and all these elitist Americans decided to line up down the block to buy that roll for lunch despite the turrible economy wreaking havoc across the country:

How come you and other NIGGERS screamed

WORST ECONOMY since H Hoover when Bush had it at 5%?

How come you and OTHER NIGGERS screamed

ITS ALL MCDONALDS JOBS?

 

[busybody..]

So the EPA is implementing rules, as directed by a court, to comply with the Clean Air Act (signed into law by Nixon) and it's Obama's fault.

Got it.

he DUMMY

read

REGIME UNCERTAINTY:“Are economic and policy uncertainty discouraging businesses — and small businesses in particular — from hiring? Is such uncertainty a factor discouraging economic recovery? A new analysis by Mark Schweitzer of the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland and Scott Shane of CWRU’s Weatherhead School of Management suggests some pundits and policymakers have been too quick to dismiss this possibility.”


I know, THEY LIE, and ONLY NIGGER TELLS THE TRUTH

 

[JohnnySavage]

The economic and policy uncertainty is caused by extremist politicians who's loyalty is first to the party, then to their pocketbooks, and finally, the electorate. The uncertainty is perception that has been created and fostered for political gain.

You still haven't shown me an Obama policy that is killing jobs, btw.

I'll wait
