Good news: The Obama economy is trending worse than the Depression, may cause ‘social unrest’



Here’s the trend line:

About 6.2 million Americans, 45.1 percent of all unemployed workers in this country, have been jobless for more than six months – a higher percentage than during the Great Depression.

The bigger the gap on someone’s resume, the more questions employers have.

“(Employers) think: ‘Oh, well, there must be something really wrong with them because they haven’t gotten a job in 6 months, a year, 2 years.’ But that’s not necessarily the case,” said Marjorie Gardner-Cruse with the Hollywood Worksource Center.

It could be because employers, in the face of ObamaCare’s uncertainty and the overall gloomy economic picture thanks to extreme debt and the coming wave of extreme taxation to pay for it all, aren’t hiring.

Here’s Democrat and Clinton crony James Carville on the “unrest”:

“It is going to be very difficult,” Carville said. “But the country, if that is what we are doing, this is gruesome on people. This unemployment rate for this long is humanitarian crisis of the first magnitude. …

“You know, look – this is a humanitarian — you know, you’re smart enough to see this,” Carville said. “People, you know, if it continues, we’re going to start to see civil unrest in this country. I hate to [say] that, but I think it’s imminently possible.”

I wonder — is that a mere prediction, or a threat?

 

[JenAltArmy]

this is one of the most moronic statements on economics I've ever seen

how the hell is borderline slave labour in other countries a great thing.. correction.. borderline slave labour at our corporate and political behest

corporations lobby many nations to fight employee rights overseas...take Haiti for example..where direct corporate influnece has reversed minimum wage laws

I believe that Busybody said it best, "shut up your troll"

say, HO! didnt get no briefing, he noze everything

to say he needs briefings is to be a RACISTIgnorance Is Bliss: Obama No Longer Receiving Daily Economic Briefings…


Leadership in action!

(The Hill) — At some point during the first two years of his administration, President Obama stopped receiving the daily economic briefing that he requested when he took office.

Former White House press secretary Robert Gibbs announced at his own first daily briefing reporters that Obama asked for the daily economic briefing, described then as comparable to the daily intelligence briefing the president gets every morning.

“The president asked that this be added every day to his schedule,” Gibbs said at the time. Gibbs added that Obama believed it is “important that each day he receive the most up to date information as it relates to the economy.”

But at some point, the daily economic briefings stopped showing up on Obama’s daily schedule.

Well for one, the Affordable Health Care Act isn't giving us "government-controlled health care" like the right keeps saying. And that old line about "government taking control of 1/6 of the economy" is a monumental whopper on par with death panels and government agents putting you in jail if you're uninsured.

Really... I expected more from you man.

And why was is such a painful vote? Because America was deeply split on it and politicians worry about their reelection prospects, especially in the House. This is all obvious stuff.

With the 1/6 of the economy comment I was explaining to you that it was things like healthcare they have been arguing about towards growing the government. The rest of that is how the majority of Americans felt about the process in which it took place.

The following is just a very small piece of the bill. Which if you read it, know that the whole bill is written like this. So, anyone that says anything towards the bill can be right or wrong. The truth is when our representation in washington writes bills the way they do in a way that nobody with an IQ less than 180 can understand more than 10%, and that affects in one way or the other, such a large part of the American economy and country in general, well, no one can say what it will exactly do.

(2) REPORT- An agreement entered into under paragraph (1) shall provide for the Institute of Medicine to submit to the Secretary and to Congress a report containing the results of the study conducted under such paragraph.

Almost no one can understand and follow what is written in this bill. The people that helped write it, say they don't really understand it. I mean it is supposed to make health care more 'affordable and accesible'. I have read quite a bit of it, and a large portion is just full of shit like, in subclause (III), by striking the period at the end and inserting `. So maybe I am right about it all. Both sides are full of shit as usual, and just love it when all of the rest of us out here argue for just one side or the other.

As far as the CBO estimates, or anybody elses estimates are concerned, you cannot tell me that those people went to 40 other bills and statutes and more that are refered to in this legislation to figure out it's affect on everything. They would need a small army to truly figure it all out. I mean fuck. Half the shit I've read in the bill refers to changing the punctuation of a part of something else.

Anyone who argues one way or the other, and thinks they know what this bill will do to the country, I challenge you to tell me what just this one part of the bill will exactly do to the country and economy. Your going to have to look through numerous bills, statutes and codes to even figure this one part out. Remember, this is a very minute part of it.
