I found my weakness. So no, not a path from the poor house that is laid for every one.

There is your reality and then there is my reality and the two will always be a world apart.

What works for some does not work for every one. Realizing this perhaps could be a good place to start in the war on poverty.

Could be people are leaving the U.S., since there are no jobs and the powers that be, need votes to stay in their comfy little offices drawing their comfy little pay checks.

Drop their pay checks and find out real quick, just how many people are really dedicated to America and its citizens.

Complete idiocy. And probably baloney. Leave the Fox derp bubble once in a while.

I know you are ranting ,because the liberal world you live in is collapsing and the rats are leaving the SS Obama. Even your own base is rethinking the question of Liberal Policies.

Fact is Driller 1 has a very ballet point and my business is heavy industrial sales. The Mines have slowed because the EPA is breathing down their throats. Obama Care sins are not flavorful to investors. Major corporations like Walgreens, Many retail chain stores and Industrial is trying to keep 32 hours a week.

That's "Part-time" with no benefits.

Obama the Anti-success Mentality is so caught up on "social Justice " the investors we all need is lying low.

For the record most true conservatives are for tax reform and smaller Gov. Don't get confuses with your own mirror image!(Socialist Lib)

Fox Business and News are great news sources. You just don't like the reports. Just Listen to Rachel or Chris and they will tell what you want to hear, void of facts of course.

This of course is insane to anyone who spends some time thinking instead of repeating slogans they hear on the radio.

So 538's got a early look at the data (and to be fair they say its too early to be completely conclusive, but its VERY consistent with other research on the topic):
Losing Benefits Isn’t Prodding Unemployed Back to Work | FiveThirtyEight

This of course shouldn't be a surprise, unemployed people do not spontaneously create jobs just because they want one. Many here have pointed at a earlier experiment where a state stopped their unemployment as a great success, and their resulting unemployment rate went down-ignoring the reality that the total employed in the state didn't change.

trolling again, trying to protect comrade obama the communist. It can't be done, he is evil, incompetent and a complete failure at everything he does, except to destroy America..

Rising food prices pinching consumers

Rising food prices pinching consumers

Interesting considering the other threads here and simple facts.

Overall consumer prices rose 0.2% in March, a bit more rapidly than in recent months, and annual inflation was 1.5%, up from 1.1% in February. Still, that's well below the Federal Reserve's 2% target as falling gasoline prices offset rising food costs.

Gas prices have been rising, not falling. It would seem that to say that inflation is under control not only does the government exclude so many things going up, they simply make the numbers up to suit their argument elsewhere.

Neither Democrats nor Republicans have even the slightest shred of a clue how to create them.

The only thing that will create jobs is a good economy.
