Posts Tagged ‘jobs lost’

for Politically Incorrect Readers

Some item you may, or may not, have read…

Item #1- NYT: Just a reminder that the Obama recovery has lost more jobs than it created. The numbers continue to prove the summer of recovery is Obama’s ‘Mission Accomplished.’

Item #2- Unemployment rises in 27 states last month. The summer of recovery continues to be a vacation at a really crappy time-share.

Item #3- Iran leader warns US of war with ‘no limits.’ The little midget wants people to forget that Iran fought Iraq for 8 years and it ended in a draw. Why do short guys always have the biggest mouths?

Item #4- Woodward Book Portrays Obama Aides’ Battles. Battles over Obama’s Afghan strategy among other issues. Barry wants an exit strategy while the military wants to win. Cough: Cut and run Democrat.

Item #5- O’Donnell: Coons has made ‘some very anti-American statements’. What else is new? The liberal media doesn’t care. Obama has made anti-American statements.

I have written about this, time and time again. The reason Democrats continue to point back and blame Bush is due to this simple fact: They can’t run on their own record. How have things been since the Democrats regained control of Congress in 2007? These numbers tell you the truth and nothing but the truth…

GetLiberty.org reports:

April 19th, 2010, Fairfax, VA—Americans for Limited Government (ALG) released a report today showing a comparison of economic figures since the Democratic Party took over Congress in 2007.

The U.S. currently has a 9.7 percent unemployment rate, as reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. In 2007, the unemployment rate was 4.6 percent. Comparatively, the number of people unemployed today is 14.8 million; in 2007 it was 7 million.

“It is devastating to look at these facts and figures and see the negative impact the Democrat tenure has had on our country,” said Bill Wilson, President of Americans for Limited Government. “It is important to look back at these numbers and make these comparisons so we know what changes need to be made in policy—before it is too late.”

According to the report, in addition to unemployment numbers being much higher today than they were in 2007, the length of time people are unemployed has nearly doubled. In 2007, the average time of unemployment was 16.2 weeks. In January of 2010, the average was 30.2 weeks. Clearly, America is not yet on the path to job recovery.

Wilson said the figures in the report are “important economic indicators that show how quickly the U.S. has taken a downhill turn in the past four years.”

In January 2007, the start of the Democrat-run Congress, the federal budget had a monthly surplus of $38.2 billion, according to the Treasury Department. As of January 2010, there was a $42.6 billion deficit.

Then to these numbers you can add the record bankruptcies, the record foreclosures, the record poverty levels and the record number of Americans on Food Stamps, Medicare and Medicaid. The numbers don’t lie. Obama and Democrats do. Remember, things could be worse!

Politically Incorrect News for Politically Incorrect Readers

Some items you may or may not have read…

Item #1- White House scholar funded Ayers group. Obama served as chairman of organization that promoted radical causes. But you know, Obama hardly knew Bill Ayers. He is surrounded by radicals and it is coming out in his actions.

Item #2- US President Barack Obama on Sunday said that countries must not have any “undue advantage” if the world is to build a strong and durable economic recovery. Obama wants a “New World Order” just like his boss George Soros wants. Have to listen to the dangerous words this man says folks.

Item #3- Obama the lecturer. Papers says Obama shouldn’t lecture anyone about fiscal responsibilities when his own house is in disorder. That’s what happens when you elect a talker.

Item #4- Obama Can Shut Down Internet For 4 Months Under New Emergency Powers. The “kill switch” bill was approved by the House and is on its way to the Senate floor. More government control over our lives. Control the messenger, control the message.

Item #5- Biden: We Can’t Recover All the Jobs Lost. I thought we were in ‘recovery mode” and the stimulus was going to create (not save) 3.5 million jobs. All Obama promises have an expiration date.

Half of America laughed when Obama attempted to claim that his failed stimulus has “saved or created” [insert made-up number here] jobs. Most of Obama’s claims were right out fraud and lies. Stimulus money was being sent to nonexistent congressional districts and zip codes. Now it looks like Obama wants to change strategies and try something new to trick his weak-minded followers.

Jake Tapper reports:

The Obama administration has taken some heat and mockery for using the nebulous and non-economic term of jobs being “saved or created” by the $787 billion stimulus program.

So it’s gotten rid of it.

In a little-noticed December 18, 2009 memo from Office of Management and Budget director Peter Orszag the Obama administration is changing the way stimulus jobs are counted.

The memo, first noted by ProPublica, says that those receiving stimulus funds no longer have to say whether a job has been saved or created.

“Instead, recipients will more easily and objectively report on jobs funded with Recovery Act dollars,” Orszag wrote.

In other words, if the project is being funded with stimulus dollars – even if the person worked at that company or organization before and will work the same place afterwards – that’s a stimulus job.

This change has not yet hit the Recovery.gov website, which lists 640,329  “Jobs Created/Saved as Reported by Recipients.”

Ed Pound, the spokesman for the Recovery Board — which is charge of Recovery.gov — tells ABC News “since OMB is not going to use ‘jobs created or jobs saved’ any more, we’re not going to use it either.” He said Recovery.gov will probably use something more like “jobs reported by recipients where Recovery funds were expended.”

Wonder why the Obama camp wants to stop using this mythical phrase? 640,329 jobs “saved or created” while losing 4 million in 2009 makes Obama believe we are heading in the right direction. Only liberals, and Obama fluffers, can fall for numbers like this and keep a straight face when informing the taxpayers that the stimulus is working.  

The Obama administration is so transparent. They believe that people will fall for this slight of hand trick and believe their next new phrase for job creation. Maybe the Obama administration will get rid of the 10 % unemployment phrase?

Did anyone catch Barack Obama stating that unemployment rates are pointing in the right direction? How about Obama’s claim that the stimulus package is working? Here is our idiot-in-chief…

I guess reading comprehension isn’t a strong suite for Obama. He promised that unemployment would top 8 % if his stimulus bill was passed. Unemployment is at 10 %. Obama promised to create 4 million jobs with his stimulus bill. We have lost 4 million jobs since Obama took office. We lost 85,000 jobs in December, again, starting off a new year of Obamanomics.

However, somewhere in the ultra-liberal mind of Obama, these numbers are “pointing in the right direction.” How is higher unemployment, and 4 million jobs lost, pointing in the right direction? I think Obama needs to go back to school and take a few economics and math classes. Increases in unemployment and job losses does not equal improvement. A certified intellect huh?
