At this rate, how many jobs per year is the economy still shedding?
We supposedly picked up 600K non-farm jobs since January. But we would normally need to have added 800K to 1200K to stay even with population growth.

The "new weekly claims" thing is shocking enough, but the totals have to be even worse.
Meanwhile, the Repub goons are standing up in front of a group of "business owners" (and reporters, of course) talking the same tired talk. Plans and results, idiots, not platitudes!
Boner and the rest of the clueless Repub tools talk real big when they're campaigning, but they don't do shit when in D.C.
Yeah, I know, "minority party," yadda yadda yadda. I would feel better about this bunch of styled, scripted numbnutses if they had at least tried to do something, which they didn't.
I expect meaningless shit from Dems, but would sure as hell like to see the Repubs do something, instead of bullshitting us with high-minded words about what they're gonna (maybe, if we force them) do.
And, as someone else pointed out already, a "pledge" is not binding. It's just words.

Obama reinforces severity of empty promise to promise that there will be more empty promises to come. And this is no empty promise... for the most part... sort of.

They reported that yesterday on CNBS and could barely believe what they were reading.
Mark Haynes is on air saying "the republican plan was to let the tax cuts expire, the president is trying to save the 98%" I think he has this purposefully wrong. Didn't the republicans have to agree to the expiration at this time so that they could even get the tax rate cuts through?
If the MSM lies then people will begin to believe that the prez is the savior and the republicans are the ball busters. I guess this is the response to the poll numbers from the dems.

A 40-year-old Lorain man pleaded guilty to importuning after he had planned to meet whom he thought was a 15-year-old for sex and which was to include the use of rope, clothes pins and nail polish.

So if I take total enrollment, divide it by four, to extract just the senior class, the economy would need to generate 4,550,000 jobs per year to accommodate them?
Some get married and don't work, some go to graduate school, some go live in communes - I think it's a much smaller number than that. But then there's all those high school kids...

One thing I find encouraging is what seems to be the interest in politics/running for office being shown by vets. Look how many have been highlighted here at AoSHQ.
If anybody in the whole country has a right to be angry about the way Obama has conducted the WoT, it's vets. I hope this trend picks up steam and continues beyond the 2010 midterms, right into the 2012 big one. Local vets getting involved and running for office at all levels of govt would be the best possible outcome from the shameful way Obama is treating our military.
The country could use an army of George Washingtons right about now.

I listen to Batchelor all the time. He always uncovers stuff before anyone else even thinks about it. He has sources everywhere.
When the book came out he was on air saying "oh the Washington post reported that so I guess I can say it now, I've known it for weeks." Essentially he knows a lot of stuff for weeks and he can't say it but if you listen to him carefully you begin to realize that he asks his questions differently than anyone else.
In the third or fourth hour last night he was talking to the amabassador of some middle estern coutry and wow his co interviewer for the segment was speechless and he kept saying "did you hear that? did you hear that"...you were half waiting for the OMG which never came as he is way too professional but it was an implied OMG....when the podcasts come out you might want to listen to the third and fourth hour.
He has an Iranian source who is amazing....but batchelor has to electronically play with the guys voice so no one can figure out who he is or where he is hiding. He's on a lot lately and very knowledgeable.

yes, yes I've said that, I've sent them all kinds of proof about lowering unemployment but then that leads to the "well when he took office he found out how really bad things were and that is why he had to warn us to expect a jobless recovery" at which point I point out that his office as the incoming president was open for more than 6 months and GWB let him see everything there was to see so he could have warned everyone earlier. It goes on and on and they then when I've made them look ridiculous in front of everyone else at the bar say "well, you are an independent and you are reading that stupid conservative website and it is obviously messing with your head and your common sense, those people are just plain evil" and then they all laugh that haughty we are better than you in every way shape and form lib laugh and I just shut up. It's playing out a lot lately. Eventually someone has to start to think about everything I've said. Cause the abuse is horrible.

like Americans can't compete or expect to get any of the trades back ever.
We are faced with the benefits and consequences of the "global market" and what we are experiencing is the price of labor intersecting with what had up until now been the uninterrupted boon of cheap goods as opponent economies found their footing. The price of labor MUST come down, so long as prices do not rise we will likely be able to enjoy circa 19080s purchasing power regardless. The main problem is that by extending benefits and enacting pro-union policy America chose rather poorly in '08 because we are simply delaying the inevitable.
If we cease being a free market we would pay a conesquence but we could go back to wildly overvaluating and overcharging for our automotive labor force....and that and the teachers are the only things that matter*......
*as seen by current Federal policy.

Initial claims for state unemployment benefits increased 12,000 to a seasonally adjusted 465,000, the Labor Department said, breaking two straight weeks of declines.
Analysts polled by Reuters had forecast claims unchanged at 450,000. The government revised the prior weekÂ’s figure up to 453,000.
Those upward revisions just keep on happening, its almost if its on purpose.

I'm a bit confused. Are you saying we should pay American workers third-world rates for their labor? That would drive our purchasing power into the toilet, even worse than it is now.
Even that cranky old fart Henry Ford understood that it was good for his business to pay workers enough to let them save and consume the goods his company built.
I know the "conservative" way is to embrace the "free market" (per Kudlow and greedy fools like him), but the "free market" as practiced today is a pathetic joke that stands only because it makes money for paper-shufflers and heirs who throw their family fortunes into the stock market.
Call me a heathen commie if you wish, but the people who should reap the rewards of productivity are the producers, not the leeches in the banking, investing and stock-market world who siphon off the lion's share of it and then whine about "overpaid" workers.

not at all but we must compete with their productivity and that will require recapitalization and an acceptance that our wages will have to at a minimum stagnate as the 3d worlds' grow a bit.
The genie is out of the bottle Festung Amerika can't happen. Really the die was cast when we didn't try to destroy the European Community way back when before it morphed into the even more daunting EU. America was in a really sweet spot for about 15 years of maintaining our wage base for the most part while eating a lot of the dessert tray of cheap goods.
The bill is near due. The banking class did make a lot of money off this but recall it was by leveraging artificially cheap debt to our consumers. The fact is US base purchasing power has been in decline for at least 16 years.
The way forward is to either take the legacy pain cutting ourselves off from the world would entail for 25-45 years and along with those steps trading in our diplomatic power, or trying to control the downward spiral. A third alternative which is more like a necessary step in the second choice would be to reign in the judicial branch and hyper activists misusing enviro regulation and labor laws to destroy US business' competitiveness.
The American worker is actually a model of productivity compared even to the young tiger economies that are rising but people need to accept that minimum wage is a joke and that being an assembly line worker does not mean you should make more than a nurse.

Geoff, I had someone call me up today and tell me that I should buy gold now
I'm not an investment guy, so I can only offer vague advice. Gold has been a decent investment, and may serve as a hedge against inflation, though it's price is very high right now. Will it crash, stay steady, or keep rising? I dunno. How's that for useful advice?
But I will say that the gold salesman that called you up sounds completely disreputable. I wouldn't ever enter into any kind of business relationship with somebody like that.
Personally I'm investing my "spare" money in my long term physical well-being, which is mostly house repairs & improvements. Fixing up everything so it's turnkey. Planted some fruit trees. Thinking about adding solar panels, though I hate to support an industry that can't support itself.
The notion is that the value I create there will serve me regardless of the economy's direction, and those improvements are about as cheap now as they'll ever be.
