I think what my thread needs is to bash the left or the right,so here it goes it is all Bush/Obama's fault.
No, it's all excellent information and I think it's great your posting it. I was just surmising that you were getting limited response because it was a bit deeper than the usual 2-3 sentence hit and runs we're used to. You're classin' up the joint!

Change is what you'll be lucky enough to have left in your pockets.

They turned off your water there to save a 2 inch smelt fish, right?
Hell with all the job loss and crop losses and food shortages that came with THAT great plan......thanks to YOUR states Libs. and Dems. who would rather save a little fishy than give a rats fart about it's PEOPLE.
You know....the bleeding heart environmentalists.
They go from huggin trees to little fishies.......but to Hell with YOU, your state's dire financial crisis or anything else.
Let Nancy Pelosi know how upset you are.

See what happens when the Dems. have all the power?

The BLS estimates were off to the point where they recently announced a "benchmark revision" to the tune of 800K jobs. With that being said, I came across two articles about the Birth/Death Model and the January employment numbers to be released in early February.

John Crudele - NYPOST

From The Article:

"The Labor Department is hurrying to correct inaccuracies in its monthly employment statistics that could cause the Obama administration big problems early next year.

Those corrections, however, will probably also eliminate the inevitable -- and unsubstantiated -- employment gains that come during springtime.

A source at the Labor Department confirmed that the birth/death model is being revamped because it seems to be mainly responsible for the 824,000 jobs that the government thought had been produced this year but which really don't exist."

________________________

Jobs Vanish - Floyd Norris Blog - NYTimes.com

From The Article:

"The recession took a much larger toll on employment than was previously reported, the government said today.

The Labor Department said that it planned to revise the job figures by subtracting more than 800,000 jobs that it had wrongly estimated were filled by workers."

_________________________

IMHO, I don't see an economic collapse but the article raising the issue about a falling dollar and rising interest rates is also a legitimate concern. Still a little early to see how this is all going to play out...

The Terminator has blood on his hands as well and the envirowhackos. He isn't batting for the San Joaquin Valley water issue. He's part of the problem. Meanwhile, over 50% of those farmers are out of work, standing in food bank lines and picking up carrots grown in CHINA! How insane is that? And they are collecting state aid (unemployment etc) meanwhile, Arnold biatches about his budget deficit, begs DC for money, and raises taxes. How bass ackwards is THAT?
