But the tax burden of corporations and the high-income folks is at historical lows? Where's the hiring? The Republicans told me that the continuation of the Bush tax breaks for the highest brackets was necessary for job growth. Where's the growth?

Small business make up most of American jobs. Be worried about their tax burden and lack of expansion and not these multi-nationals that produce offshore nor rich Americans that don't directly hire people.

You are joking right? Please God, tell me your joking.. You realize you, by no fault of your own it's an impulsive reaction among your people, threw Bush's name out there and deflected the OP's data by blaming Bush..

Now your blaming Fox News..

ROTFLMAO! Your kind makes me smile everyday!

So what's the news here? Who were these "rises" unexpected to and who the hell cares that jobs didn't grow at the pace whoever expected them to. We've gained 2 million jobs since April 09 which is actually what matters not that jobless claims were higher than "expected". In many of those months they were actually down. Are you kidding me? "expected" LMAO..Try again.

I expect more out of every thread I open but what do I get? This foolishness.

I comprehend very well. It's of absolutely no meaning. The only thing this shows is that the "expecters" are usually wrong. If that makes you feel good, have at it. What whomever "expects" does not change what is.
