Does your hatred for Obama run so deeply that any good news for the country is really bad news because of who happens to be President?
That is very, very sad.
The BLS report says 456,000 dropped off the unemployement rolls.
Is this because they got jobs or is this because they ran out of benefits and are no longer counted ?
With everything I see around me and read, this BLS report just doesn't make sense.
It doesn't really make sense.
That's why it's better now to judge an economy by how many are getting food stamps and Medicaid and how much is being spent on Section 8. Since the national debt is only going up, it doesn't seem to be any benefit from having lower unemployment rates.
I suspect many of those 456,000 dropped off unemployment rolls because they used up 99 weeks of government handouts on UE and now are on other welfare handout programs.
Yup more people falling off the unemployment dole and vanishing into the shadow world of permanent joblessness. Thank you, you worthless POSTUS.
Nope, thank you deregulation and Wall Street sleazeballs. We have not forgotten who set the building on fire and jumped out with the window with their goldern parachutes. Obama has put out the fire, but it will take a while longer to get the building rebuilt, especially when the GOP won't let him hire construction workers.

Fail. Labor participation rate went up last month as well. The numbers simply reflect what other indicators like consumer confidence and home sales have been predicting. The jobs picture is improving. Romney is toast.
It's the weirdest thing, - you add jobs, and it goes down, and when you take away jobs, it goes up
It may sound complicated, but if you think about it, it actually makes sense.
Or if a few hundred thousand people quit looking for jobs, the UE rate goes down but the welfare rate goes up.
Yes, it's not complicated.
