1.5 million a month loose their jobs(the people that are employees, says nothing for sub-contractors that cannot file for unemployment)
then you have 110,000-120,000 jobs created per month.....


A cup with no bottom.


Did you fail math?

DUH-the number reported is now, and has always been, net jobs added.

No ons, btw, loose their jobs. Loose is for change, lose is the proper word for a job loss. Did you fail English?

wow, denial, so we imagined Benghazi and the IRS who admitted they targeted conservatives. What planet are you on?
If our Republican elected officials would quit trying to manufacture 'scandals' and focus, instead, on real problems that impact our country - then maybe we would be even better off.

Instead, they are voting to repeal the ACA for the 37th time. And how many Benghazi hearings have we had?

Yeah - Republicans are doing a great job.

hmm, printing, scandal, gridlock = dividends and rising stock prices, the rich get richer while the rest of America waits for Obama's hope and change.

Keep holding out for hope Libbys

Stocks are forward looking indicators.

Companies did cut expenses including reducing employees to the minimum, paying down debt, now sitting on cash cleaning up their balance sheets. In fact if anyone cleaned up their personal balance sheet they are doing better. The problem is this administration left many behind, the people who lost their jobs and the young who can't find jobs. But hey, if libbys want to point to the stock market as proof, I'm good with that. The others who are not faring so well did it to themselves anyway.

In theory, yes. In practice, quite often no. I do not count the runup in stock price after a news report has leaked an expectation of overperforming as a leading indicator. IT is a response to a projection.

More often than not, an underperformer has to become an outperformer several quarters before its stock price goes up. That is following, not leading.

AP reporters weren't elected. Benghazi whistleblowers weren't elected. IRS employees weren't elected. You don't know what the hell your even talking about.
