"Jobless Recovery" is an OXYMORAN!
It's gettin more hungry out every day! Dick Grasshole is even lookin' for a gig now! I can't wait till the Jobless Recovery comes to 1600 Pa Ave! The spinners are spinning but the jobs are still being lost and unemployed voters are unhappy voters! The economy is festering like a large zit under a heat lamp! Are you better off than you were when Clinton ruled the roost? Do you still believe in a place called HOPE?

'Don't Stop Thinkin' About Tomorrow', cause the next pink slip may be in your hand! Other than that everything is lookin' great!

'Jobless Recovery' is a sham to 95% of America!

1. Right You Are!
There is no such thing! Productivity is EVERYTHING in economic health. Without INCREASES in productivity, there can be no sustainable economic growth. It's not even logical to assume such a thing is possible, and the data proves it's not!

The notion that the economy is in recovery is based upon shallow thinking that flies in the face of the econometric data. Any sound, and dispassionate analysis will verify that, except by the most incompetent economists.

If there is negative job growth, (also an oxymoron, i would guess), there is no sustainable growth. Just blips along the bottom.

3. productivity
when pink slips fly, the investor class for a season will realize gains. Productivity continues to improve to a point. It is like a pyramid scheme. Those at the top will cash out rich and screw the rest. This admin and much of the business class could care less about the working man and only about the investor class. Those are their friends and neighbors. Until consumer confidence crashes, These pukes will not get it. Killing the middleclass is killing the goose that lays the golden eggs.

4. They may take the money and run, but they won't get far!
That's why the people need to elect someone who's not on the take! Someone who WILL hold people like KENNY BOY/Cheney's feet to the fire! People wake up fast when the pain hits them in the ass pocket! The slumbering beast will one day seek revenge and I hope I live long enough to see it happen! What a SWEET day that will be!

5. Jobless Recovery in a...
Consumer Economy? The middle-class being eroded and taking the brunt of the hurt?

No way. You have a better chance of flying to the moon by flapping your arms.

What is really in play here is a desperate move to concentrate the wealth of the country upward and into the hands of petro-barons and defense crooks.

Why?

Because whole-scale changes in the energy mix, in the world, ain't that far off, and "The Peace Dividend" was not a dividend to the defense crooks. Add to that all that money, in the surplus, that wasn't going into their pockets and you have a lot of temptation for them. Temptation that they could not fight off.

When it all shakes out, in 20 or so years, look for Teapot Dome to be a tea party in comparison. Call this one "Tea Room Dome", cause a lot of rich and powerful folks been giving each other a lot of economic head.

6. The Petro-bankers had been waiting for a chance like Bush
for almost a hundred years! The SCOTUS made their dreams all come true! John D Rockefeller I will never die until the people wake up! The USA is the NEW LUDLOW!

How can we recover the production jobs that both parties have sent to RED CHINA? *$*$*$ CAMPAIGN FINANCE REFORM! People who love their money more than their country are the TRUE NONPATRIOTS!

If the Repubs have Gawd on their side then Gawd must have relaxed his standards completly!
