U.S. Adds Only 88,000 Jobs; Jobless Rate Falls to 7.6%[W: 831]

Re: U.S. Adds Only 88,000 Jobs; Jobless Rate Falls to 7.6%

The verdict is still out on Iraq. Well into the fifth year of his Presidency, the jobs are on BHO.:cool:
The verdict is still out on Iraq? I would laugh, but would be disrespectful to those that died there.
 
Re: U.S. Adds Only 88,000 Jobs; Jobless Rate Falls to 7.6%

How did Bush generate the numbers we have today, numbers that show that true liberal compassion, 21 plus million unemployed/under employed/discouraged workers...
This is among the most incredible posts you have ever made...

That figure of 21 million plus was 10 million plus when Bush became president.
It was 22 million plus when he left office.

Bush more than doubles that figure by adding 12 million and here you are, complaining because that number is down only 1 million since Obama became president, even though he inherited the worst recession since FDR inherited the Great Depression.

Re: U.S. Adds Only 88,000 Jobs; Jobless Rate Falls to 7.6%

Didn't know that Bush was on the ballot in 2008 and 2012? compassion
Where did I say he was on the ballot?

How did Bush generate the numbers we have today, numbers that show that true liberal compassion, 21 plus million unemployed/under employed/discouraged workers, over 100 million dependent on some form of taxpayer assistance(excluding SS and Medicare), debt service as the number four budget item, millions and millions on food stamps. Yes, dependence is real compassion.
Whether you like it or not, Bush IS responsible for some of those numbers.
 
Re: U.S. Adds Only 88,000 Jobs; Jobless Rate Falls to 7.6%

I have no problem with that and hope I get my share of it someday.

No, the reason I ask is because I just wanted to know before I point out how YOU are among the percentage of those whom receive some form of benefit from the government. The very same ones you are complaining about.


:lamo

Another subject you know nothing about, SS and Medicare are paid for by the employer and the employee, not the govt. it isn't a taxpayer handout which just goes to show how little you know about the taxes you pay.

You keep bringing him up and point out how many were killed in Iraq so I thought for sure that he was on the ballot in 2008 and I missed it. How is what happened in Iraq relevant to the economic numbers today? The cost of the Iraq war was in the 10.6 trillion debt that Obama inherited, you know a debt that is now over 16.7 trillion?

Obama added over 6 trillion dollars to the debt to get those numbers and has a labor force increase in four plus years of 1.1 million people. Apparently that is a liberal success story.

To laugh would betray shallowness, and I don't think you're shallow. The ramifications of subtracting the Saddam regime from the Middle East are still being worked out. Much has changed since 2003, and some of it is good.:cool:

I was responding to Jack, not you, he was implying Bush was better fiscally. The cost of the operation in Iraq is small in comparison with what it caused. Death, injuries, etc. etc. The final cost recently was estimated to be $2.2 trillion.

Ok, 220 billion a year still puts the Obama deficit over a trillion dollars a year. Most of that debt is in the 10.6 trillion Obama inherited, you know the debt that is now over 16.6

Do you seriously believe a full scale invasion was needed to remove Saddam Hussein?

Do you really believe those with Bush Derangement Syndrome have any place in this thread about job creation under Obama?

There is lost FIT and payroll taxes due to the recession and there is re-occurring and growing Medicare Part D costs that was implemented by Bush. A there are still costs associated with Iraq.

As I stated, every other President but Obama is responsible for the results generated during their term. With Obama it is always everyone else's fault. Bush obviously didn't have any expenses passed on to him by Clinton and so on. Of course Bush implemented ARRA, took over Chrysler, implemented an economic policy that hasn't grown the economy much the past four plus years, generated more people dropping out of the labor force, more govt. dependence. Yep, the number have today have nothing at all to do with Obama

So what? Every dime the government collects comes from people and businesses, only to be paid out for a wide range of purposes.

You're still collecting a benefit from the government ... same as millions of others who comprise that close to 50% you're complaining about.

Only in your Conservative world is increasing debt 6 trillion and lowering the U6 category by 1 million worse than increasing the debt 5 trillion but adding 12 million to the U6 category.

You have no idea what SS and Medicare are, do you? It is a benefit that you if you are "contributing" pays for out of every paycheck. Now I am sure you probably don't want your money back when you retire but at least learn what your payroll taxes fund

You are getting apparently exactly what you want, a European socialist economy where govt. dependence is high, govt. spending is a high percentage of GDP, unemployment is high, GDP growth is low, and the debt is high. Congratulations

Ummm, you are contributing to everything the government pays for.

Your non-sequitur aside ...

You were complaining that Obama's lowered the U6 level by only 1 million.

Yet you voted for Bush, who by election day in 2004, ADDED 4 million to that number when you voted to give him 4 more years. He then ADDED another 8 million with those 4 years.

Do you have any idea how ridiculous it is to support someone who added 12 million to the ranks of unemployed, underemployed, discouraged -- and then bitch & moan about the man who inherited that mess and still REDUCED that number by a million??

And idea at all?

I understand how low your standards really are as evidenced by the Obama results. They are what they are at a cost of over 6 trillion dollars to the debt and still having over 21 million unemployed/under employed/discouraged workers. Guess that liberal compassion stops at your bank account. You have a job, your wife has a job and that is all that matters. Keep living for today and ignoring tomorrow for you won't be able to afford tomorrow.

Keep diverting to that which you cannot control and posting numbers that have nothing to do with the present nor were they the numbers in the 2004 campaign but that is what you do, divert, distort, and totally ignore current economic performance.

Guess that liberal compassion stops at your back account. You have a job, your wife has a job and that is all that matters.

Holy ****! :doh

The only reason we have 21 million unemployed/under employed/discouraged workers is because of Bush. He handed 22 million them to Obama.

Exactly what part of that are you incapable of comprehending?
