The FED
Washington DC
WALL ST.

You know, all those highly educated Ivy league types that suck the blood, sweat and tears out of the American People. For their own greedy personal gain.

More likely they will claim it as a drop in unemployment and a good thing since they will no longer have to figure out how to pay for unemployment.

So it is the government's job to get you better wages?

I agree. About time we focused on payroll size (especially private sector) to judge the direction of the economy instead of unemployment rate. What say you?

Ah yes, the awaited race card.

Obamabots have yet to figure out that it doesn't matter one iota what color a president is if he allows a situation like this to progress.

What is truly getting sad is that those supporters continue to blame Bush and the race card.

Says you, lockstepped with those drunk with Obama-hatorade and engaging in bottery (yes, I might have just created the word... look for usage in the future). But then, you would know a thing or two about it, and trolling. After all... that has been your best contribution to this thread.

The FED isn't the Gov't.
WAll ST. isn't the Gov't.

Greed and financial crimes that are not prosecuted by the Gov't are causing America to fall. Along with failed gov't trade policies with China.

Those that make the rules and decisions are depressing our economy.

The 10 isn't the biggest issue, it is the result of idiots being greedy, and the gov't protecting and encouraging those idiots.

According to their own policy statements and self proclaimed compassion for all citizens (and illegals), yes it is.

Disagree with your "especially private sector" selection of looking at payroll size. Start with the government payroll where redundancy is rampant and new departments are created at the drop of a hat.

Well, thank you for letting me know about why y'all are so antsy about government not doing something about your wages.

How come in your world, government employees are better unemployed, and size of private sector payroll is a non-issue? Y'all make for quite an amusement, and amazement.

But you want government to ensure better wages.
