heckofajobbrownie Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 Good jobs numbers, plus another set of revisions up for the past two months as well. Let's hope it keeps going. "February's employment report confirmed that we have a trend of decent employment growth. The headline number showed that the economy created a net 227,000 jobs in February. ...February marked the third straight month in which payroll jobs rose by more than 200,000. Gains could be seen in a range of industries: professional and business services, manufacturing, and health care. The construction and retail trade sectors shed positions. The job market is starting to look better now, and it's also starting to look better in hindsight. Every month, when the Bureau of Labor Statistics reports the jobs figures, it takes another look at the numbers it reported in the previous two months. Looking back, BLS has determined that more jobs were created in December 2011 and January 2012 than originally thought. The December jobs gain, originally reported as a 200,000 gain in January, was revised up to 203,000 last month, and has been revised up again to 223,000. January's job total, originally reported as a gain of 243,000, was revised upwards to 284,000. In other words, BLS discovered an extra 61,000 jobs. Compared with February 2011, 2.021 million more Americans have payroll jobs. In the past two years, the private sector has created 3,938,000 jobs."

heckofajobbrownie Posted March 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 Come on, Steve. Don't be that thing you hate on the other side on your side. It'll make it harder to pretend you're an independent. It's good news. It's not a great number, but it's a good number. And three months in a row of over 200,000 is even better.

Actually I think politics and the economy is by and large a game of hot potato anyway. Or maybe musical chairs? How do you suppose you would react if I said thank God the republicans took the house! Finally the economy is getting better! WSS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heckofajobbrownie Posted March 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 Thing is, I didn't even mention Obama. I just posted the jobs figures. I don't think the president controls the economy, but he does affect it, especially in these last few years when he's responsible for the stimulus and the auto bailouts and TARP and all the rest, and the House Republicans really aren't. So, if ever a president was on the hook for the economy it's now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calfoxwc Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 But Woodpecker is most appropriate, methinks. There are four months in a year. There are three months in a quarter. No, Heck. It's true. 12 divided by 4 = 3. Dammit, Heck, yes it IS. Now, some companies start their fiscal year in Jan. Some start theirs in March. Some start them in October. It depends on different things. The main idea, is that at the culmination of their best season, that next year, they know how to proceed with capital expenditures. If the first of the year, which I figure is most common, is the beginning of the next fiscal year, then as plans are made, job descriptions are defined, as/if needed, and the interview process started, and the hiring starts, you can see some hiring. But the losses are mounting for our economy. Our debt is skyrocketing out of control, after Obamao railed against Bush for HIS much, much smaller debt. Go figure, eh? Stocks go up, and some lib says "SEE ? OBAMAO IS WONDERFUL". Then, when stocks plumment, you get crickets chirping. Obamao is now the OIL PRESIDENT. He's making his oil buddies billions and billions, on the backs of all of us who have to buy it. That's why he doesn't allow drilling. He SAID that energy had to skyrocket, because his oil buddies needed the huge profits that go with selling less for a hell of a lot more. Our country is in serious trouble, folks. And Heck is just one of those who couldn't care less, because he gets paid? to not care at all... that's what I think. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calfoxwc Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 To answer your question sincerely, I believe, that in as much as I see that Obamao has historically ridden the coattails of hateful black liberation theology radical activists to where he is now... he is a Marxist. Because, the relationship between black liberation theology and Marxism is a genuine one. Obamao is a Marxist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calfoxwc Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 And, as such, he is a socialist. How can I say that logically? With critical thinking ad reason? Here: http://www.acton.org/pub/commentary/2008/04/02/marxist-roots-black-liberation-theology http://lilt.ilstu.edu/rrpope/rrpopepwd/articles/communism.html "Socialism: Socialists believe that the inequalities that exist in our society are unjust and that the minority of the population should not own the vast majority of the wealth. Socialists do, nevertheless, differ on ways by which this change should be achieved. Some believe that the change should be gradual, achieved through parliament, and others believe that the change should be rapid, brought about through revolution. " ***************************** Now, the above excerpt from the preceding link, is exactly what all sorts of followers of Obamao, and Obamao's cabinet, and Obamao himself... are all about. Put it all together, and yes, I believe Obamao is a socialist. How can I not think so? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only is the first statement based off emotion, it sounds like a 10 year old wrote it, he wants to run this, and this, and this, and this. Which is why the second comment is even funnier.
