Wise up EAP. By the time I was your age I had abandoned my membership in the Revolutionary Communist Youth Brigade and could see through the B.S. like what you've been reading.

Posts: 912Esten's New Jobs Number / U3 vs U6 and workforce participation rate
Not so fast Esten, exactly where did those 288,000 jobs come from? Could it be mostly from summer hiring perhaps? Don't you think all those "new jobs" which were created in June will disappear in August?
Follow this link for June jobs information:

Oh and Esten what about those pesky new unemployment claims for June?
Follow this link for new unemployment filings for June:

Esten, as far as ObamaCare being a job killer, all you have to do is wait until August, September and October when all those cancellation notices begin to arrive for businesses.
Esten you up for another round after having your ass handed to you over European unemployment calculations where you were wrong as usual?
Esten is always quick to point out how unemployment has decreased under the Imperial Presidency of Obama quoting the DOL's U3 rate and ignoring the more accurate U6 rate and totally ignoring the workforce participation rate.
Follow this link for the U6 rate:
http://ycharts.com/indicators/us_u_6...ate_unadjusted
Follow this link for a U3 / U6 rate comparison and explanation.

Oh and Esten before you start claiming the decrease in the workforce participation rate is due to baby boomers retiring, you are wrong again.
Follow this link to workforce participation rate composition by age brackets.

Have a nice day Esten.

Katie Pavlich at townhall.com wrote a nice piece titled "Obama's Scandal Playbook" detailing the Obama admininstration's standard procedures for managing it's many scandals.

Step 1: Play Dumb.
Step 2: Investigate it Yourself.
Step 3: Blame Two-Bit Bureaucrats.
Step 4: Attack the Investigation.
Step 5: Pretend the Scandal Never Existed.
Thanks,

Posts: 52ElAlamoPalermo: DJIA. Really? Are you really that shallow? Do you not have an iota of critical thought capability, or do you just swallow "hook, line, and sinker" what CNBS or MSDNC is feeding you? Newsflash: The entire cyclical rally in the market from March 2009 has been the result of the Fed's debauchment of the currency via QE (think Harare or the Caracas stock exchange). Lenin was a big fan of currency debasement. As far as the market goes, what lies ahead will seem (mathematically cannot be) an order of magnitude more painful than what happened during the fall of 2008.
Here is a quick yet comprehensive tutorial on the Cloward / Piven strategy.

U.S. GDP Dropped 2.9% In The First Quarter 2014
http://www.forbes.com/sites/samantha...cond-estimate/
"On Wednesday, the Bureau of Economic Analysis released its third and final estimate of real gross domestic product for the first three months of 2014. The release showed output in the U.S. declining at an annual rate of 2.9%. This is relative to fourth quarter 2013, when real GDP grew 2.6%."
U.S. Economy Shrank in First Quarter by Most in Five Years
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-0...ive-years.html
"Gross domestic product fell at a 2.9 percent annualized rate, more than forecast and the worst reading since the same three months in 2009, after a previously reported 1 percent drop, the Commerce Department said today in Washington. It marked the biggest downward revision from the agencys second GDP estimate since records began in 1976. The revision reflected a slowdown in health care spending."
Anyway, the most important thing is that we're not talking about Obama's monumental incompentence.
Thanks,
Jax.

Posts: 52The strategy is Cloward / Piven and the tactics are Alinsky. To re-make the Republic, he has to break it first. The quilombo at the border, and all points north is just another beta test. I guess as far as jobs go, quantity is better than quality. Got to keep as many as possible on the dependency plantation until he can complete his "Fundamental Transformation".

Remember how Republicans told us over and over how the Affordable Care Act was a big jobs killer.
The labor market continued to gain momentum and defy a mixed economy in June as employers added 288,000 jobs, the Labor Department said Thursday.
The unemployment rate fell to 6.1% vs. 6.3% in May. That's the lowest it's been since September 2008.
Economists had estimated that 215,000 jobs were added last month.
The economy has now gained at least 200,000 jobs a month for the past five months - the first such stretch since September 1999-January 2000.

Just trying to make sure you did not change your mind.
Like the Republicans do when Obama agrees to something they wanted in the first place.
It looks we agree on almost everything, except the death penalty.

You keep knocking the Demos, so tell us what you do not agree with, about the Republican Party?
