They've been revising those numbers down for months it seems, I'm at the point where I don't even blink when BLS releases their numbers. Might as well wait a month for them to revise down to the accurate numbers.

Republicans are trying to pass bills that the idiot in the white house refuses to sign unless it drastically increases taxes.

You might be a tad bit optimistic that voters will hold the House accountable, but not the Senate or the President.

I loved parts of Clinton's speech, particularly his breakout of jobs created under D and R presidents since 1961. Ironically, since Clinton's first year as president, American's are infinitely better off with Republican control of one or both houses of congress when it comes to jobs.

Since Jan 1993 the US economy added 23.57 MM jobs.

with Rep House and Rep Senate: + 20.74 MM jobs
with Rep House and Dem Senate: + 2.84 MM jobs
with Dem House and Dem Senate -0.11 MM jobs

First of all, they were elected to obstruct. Scott Brown was elected in MA for crying out loud. Secondly, this critique assume Keynesianism is true. Sure you can give me cocaine and I'll forget about my withdraw symptoms for a little bit. What's really needed is underlying problems to be corrected.

IN 1971 I stood at 15 & Market wearing an ARMY Jacket with an UPSIDE DOWN USA FLAG.
(symbol for distress in the USA)
Selling underground newspapers to commuters.
There was have a lot of pissed off people tell me off for wearing an upside down flag.
BUT, the most interesting part was I would sell OUT the UNDERGROUND newspapers.
A LOT of people were against the VIETNAM War.
Maybe bored riders wanted to read alternative news views not "mainstream" INKY, BULLETIN and Daily News sports.

I was a member of an organization in Philadelphia called RESISTANCE.
I wore the resistance OMEGA T-Shirt.

Megaphones at 15th and Market you ask?
BEEN THERE

[FKD19124]

remember NAFTA signed by your lying hero Clinton?

If this thread turns into Bixbyte vs. FKD....oh man, I don't want to jinx it.

[ShoshTrvls]

A fillabuster-proof majority for a very short period of time, actually. Al Franken wasn't seated until July, 2009, and Joe Lieberman stopped pretending to be a Democrat long before that.

[FKD19124]

no he was a real democrat. not a liberal loon.

Bad news for US, bad news for Obama campaign.

+96K in Aug.
-41K revision for June/July

bad trend here. 97K jobs/month over last 6 months, and only two more jobs report prior to election.

It is bad for America, but at this point I think how people are going to vote is pretty much set at this point. Now it is just going to be a get out the vote effort. Only a really good or really bad jobs report I think will change people's minds.

Though in larger economic terms this probably does mean more QE, maybe even in September, which could rally the market more and make things seem better. Unemployment down to 8.1, but I think it will take years for that to get better as so many people are just not employable at this point, or at least not in the way they were before they lost their jobs.

Of course if Romney gets in and does make drastic cuts, we will see those unemployment numbers increase as Feds and States have to lay people off.

I think it might be wishful thinking on your part. The last thing I want is a republican telling me to suck it up and work at Mcdonalds if I loose my job. I sure as hell don't want to be sitting at home w/ my fingers crossed after I've sent my hundredth resume out hoping the republicans will cooperate and extend unemployment benefits before they vote for a rich tax cut.

I also don't think the young crowd wants to hear Mittens suggest that we just ask our parents for money if their drowning in student loans.
This job report will just be like every other political thing. Its preaching to the choir. One side says the jobs reports sucks cause republicans obstructed everything and the other says Obama's isn't doing his job cause hes a stupid muslim and that regulations need to be cut.

I love the regulations are too strict complaint. Who gets laxer regulations? Just the banks, and anyone capable of large scale environmental damage? My job would be a lot easier without regulations. People might die but I would make more money.
