U.S. Jobless Rate Unexpectedly Declines to 8.6%

Cool. But that is not the case here. With the destruction of NASA and the elimination of many defense programs houses all around mine began selling at a discount.

Fortunately I can still afford the house I built. But its value has steeply declined.

I see. What I posted applies to most of the country, but not to where you are .

Was your town's economy, then, being propped up by federal money?

You want to compare the recession in 2008 with the one in the 30's? What does that have to do with anything today?

Deflationary recessions caused by financial panic and deleveraging are the hardest to recover from (ask the Japanese).

So? This is irrelevant to the discussion (let alone my actual statement in which you quoted).

I think this is evidence of memory loss. I was responding to your post. In my opinion there is something fundamentally wrong with you.

A bit of a personal attack there, but perhaps you could explain exactly how your post responded to his?

You failed to address my comment. I'm willing to give you another chance out of fairness.
 
so far, this has been a pretty good thread, despite the partisan nonsense. Is it now to degenerate into a tedious pissing match?

Most likely. Do you blame a 3 year old child for their poor behavior?

Sure. Rockets, space exploration, defense...

Some matters. Some a little less so. But it is what it is. Most of the houses in my neighborhood are owned by engineers similar to me. The rocket scientists let go by NASA have moved on to find work elsewhere.

The engineers who were let go will find work elsewhere as well. When the time comes we all will. I moved here for the interesting work. When I need to I will move to wherever the interesting work may be found.

He says sales are up. It is an easier task when one need not actually make a profit. Billions of taxpayer dollars were given to the unions to make them whole. The unions were given an ownership position ahead of the bondholders.
Can you explain exactly how you missed it?

He did not ask for the GWShiiteForBrains Great Depression. If the media acknowledges it they will be accused of being unpatriotic because it would cause the dollar value to fall due to lack of confidence. It is the media confidence campaign that gives value to a currency that is about "full faith" like the Pope's blessing. I'm sorely disappointed in Obama but he is and has been trapped by his predecessor and blather, bull****, and balderash are the only solutions as long as we have a Federal Reserve Bank Corporation. The money is backed by what???? Confidence my friend. I'm very confident of its sustainability. I'm confident our measures will prevail.. We are confident that our Treasury sales will be successful (loan from China), I'm confident that the economy is in recovery. I'm confident that our employment numbers indicate confidence. Confidence, same as a con man. I hope I am making this clear. That is why the Repubs always stated loudly "deficits don't matter." They knew it was about confidence. A game run on confidence. Oh, and keep your knives sharp and your weapons numerous in case your confidence fails, eh?

What we got was a Community Organizer President who has zero leadership skills and shows it today.

Easy, you're making a leap not supported by facts. Who exactly isn't making a profit? Such a business won't stay in business, so I don't accept your position, and it is not an answer to his comment.

Unions are supported by their members, not by the government.

Billions were given to large financial institutions and to the General Motors, both of which deserved to fail or reorganize without government money because of mismanagement. Not one cent was given to unions.

USA action news?

Any reason I should accept that this source is remotely accurate? Looks look at some of their listings:

Like a Mafia Don, Dem lawmaker tells unions ‘Get a little bloody when necessary’
Union agenda is Obama’s agenda
