How high would unemployment be without the stimulus package?

Wow...just...wow.


America was spoonfed shit by the Obama admin, and congress went right along with it. They didnt even have time to read the bill, but passed it.


Oh 3rd party, why are you so elusive?

Is there any information about jobs gained in the same month?

Because you and everyone else keep voting R and D. WTF do you think is going to keep happening if you never vote for a 3rd party?

Heh... this from someone who has already admitted that their present livelihood depends on the stimulus money.

I'm pretty sure these are net losses.

Probably none. But I'm sure the stimulus is working, with the tens of millions of jobs saved.

Most likely about the same.

The stimulus has barely started to take hold. It won't be till end of summer before we see real 'results' from it, if not closer to the end of the year.

Not true. At the very least, the states would have laid off more people if they didn't get government stimulus money.

The pace of job losses quickened in June after slowing just a month earlier, casting a shadow over the Obama administration?s attempts to stanch months of declines in the labor market.

This is really worrisome. At first I thought we had shaken off Great Depression-like soup kitchens but now I'm thinking that if something drastic doesn't happen, we could eventually get there.

Most of the men I know are unemployed (construction, etc) and are self-employed; I don't think they are reflected in the 9.5% so realistically this number could be MUCH higher.

Your looking at it all wrong. Obamamamma is not responsable for 9.5% Unemployment, he is responsable for 90.5% Employment. (got to think like the NYT to see it):laugh:
