I don’t have the stomach to go over the whole mess again with the fake stimulus bill the liberals crammed down our throats (along with its massive debt). I’ll let others explain: Ed Morrissey notes this great news piece in San Diego with Barbara Boxer and the ONE real job created from millions of dollars […]

Ed Morrissey caught my eye with this post on October’s mind boggling deficit number: The federal government busted the budget worse than last October by $20 billion with a deficit of $176.36 billion for the month.  That used to be considered a decent deficit target … for an entire year … … It’s roughly four […]

As I noted yesterday the topic driving the electorate is the unemployment, which shot up dramatically again in October: The United States economy shed 190,000 jobs in October, and the unemployment rate reached a 26-year high of 10.2 percent, up from 9.8 percent in September, the Department of Labor said Friday in its monthly economic […]

What was driving the wave of elections in VA and NJ this week? The deteriorating jobs market was and is the driver, which is where the average American voter connects to the ‘economy’ in a visceral way. The crux of the Democrats’ problem with the voters is they have failed miserably on this matter. I […]

A follow up to my previous post. The BS keeps flowing from Team Obama with their false jobs claims (sorry I cannot link to the data, the map only allows for displaying the information – I cannot even copy it, I have to retype it). From California: Prime Recipient: Jason A ColemanAmount: $21,843Jobs Created/Saved: 4 […]

You can tell in blogging when there is some low hanging fruit for you to post on. The bogus jobs claims by the administration today is just one such case. First, let me set this up with a CBS News clip on the shoddy statistics used to produce those fictional ‘created or saved’ jobs (H/T […]

Alternate title: Liberal Stimulus Bill Puts 2 million Additional People on Emergency Unemployment The state by state unemployment figures came out yesterday and it is not a very pretty sight. There is no recovery in progress, not for most of America, because the job losses keepl piling up (albeit at a slower rate): Unemployment rose in […]

Major Update Below Remember the rush last February to get a stimulus package through Congress so the Democrats could turn the economy around and start creating jobs? Remember almost 8 months ago, when it passed, all the hype and promises spewed by the Democrats? Here we sit 8 months later, with unemployment and underemployment creeping […]

Let’s just take off the partisan glasses for a few moments and note that current economic trouble actually began years ago with a terrible idea to risk the stability of the real estate market (what could go wrong, they can’t make more land?) by loosening all the controls for ensuring people who buy can afford […]

[Optional Subtitle: Obama’s 1 Million ‘Saved’ Jobs Discovered? Below I think we have found Obama’s mythical 1 million ‘saved’ jobs. They are a statistical ‘adjustment’ made to the unemployment data by bureaucrats that add tens of thousands of phantom jobs to the unemployment data each month] The unemployment numbers that came out for September were […]
