| TheRealMafoo said: Yea, only 345,000 more people not working this month then last month. Great. And how does 9.4% actual, when Economists predicated 9.2% "Beat Expectations"? When the unemployment number gets smaller, or stays the same, then we can talk. Until then. Things are still getting worse. Spin it however you like, but the economy is worse this month then it was last month. Period. Absolutely nothing to celebrate yet. |
You are right, it should say job loss numbers beat expectations. I can't edit the title. The workforce grew substantially apparently.
However, the markets are happy about the news. Up 60 points for the day so far at 8810. Odds are decent we will hit 9000 by the end of next week.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
