Where is the Recovery?

[loftycity]

Jobless Recovery? Where's the Recovery? Unemployment is the worst since the Depression. 1000 Jobs---? Business is down--!?!

Why do they keep harping at us about a recovery? IT's a frickin Depression.

[Skittles]

1. you're breaking repug rules, lofty

this is the DON'T ASK ANY QUESTIONS RECOVERY.

[Whoa_Nelly]

2. Not LBN, but

you can recover quickly by editing your post and citing a recent article less than 12 hours old...such as this:

Job growth lags; many giving up

3. The top 5% never fell, due to tax cuts...

The next 5% have now recovered, and the rest of use are dropping like stones.

So, as far as this administration is concerned, it's economic "Mission Accomplished" time.

4. Have'nt we Learned?

Jobless recoveries are good.


That's what GW tells us, they're good, becuase they create jobs.

Jobless recoveries create jobs, that's all we need to know.

6. "A Bring it !on !Recovery"

1000 jobs ---ooooh so good. I'll bet they had more jobs in a month during the Depression.

[Webster Green]

5. Halliburton is doing quite nicely, thenk yew.....

Perhaps there are some jobs to be had there.

7. It doesn't matter becasue Jesus is coming in a week or 2

Millions of mindless idiots have bought into this rapture crap and they really believe Jesus is coming to take them away!

10. And the Creator will make it all better

That was a good one.

8. Listen out for the phrase "double dip recession"

It could be the buzz word of 2004.

[loftycity]

11. More nonsense phrases to glaze us over

[Fovea]

9. aren't you an investor?

They are having a fine recovery. They are making money, why arent you?

Go out and spend, for the sake of their recovery, you must now buy what their companies make, or serve.

Otherwise you are not patriotic enough to live in their America. You see, there are plenty of jobs, and if you were as patriotic as a guest worker, you would fight them for one.
