Indeed. The bond markets are bleeding. Inflation is rearing its ugly head. IMO, the Fed screwed up by not raising rates earlier this week, as such action might have contained inflation fears in the bond and mortgage-backed securities markets.

In effect this is no better than government created jobs with massive deficits.

The US debt, for fun refresh your browser, mmmm look at that sh!t go!

We have been looking at the big picture. See my leftist excuse chart. That is how their "bad economy" excuses have progressed. They wanted jobs - we are getting jobs. We aren't going to ignore them because they were making such a fuss about it.

It's just more evidence that the left isn't happy even when they get what they want. They always have one more excuse at the ready or one more demand. It's hilarious to witness

PS - becareful before you respond - take a look at what I've said about our gov't fiscal issues here on the forum

This was out of the Blue that I got called. I had not applied there or anything.

They did reverse networking. A person who knows a person kind of thing gave him my number. I have a rough idea who gave him my number but not a 100% sure who.

Maybe Donna and I won't be moving afterall?

bureau of labor statistics

The jobs report was 120K higher than needed to beat population growth. But the thing I can't understand about this report and the last report is why the number of people not in the labor force can increase slightly if the net number of jobs is increasing.

WTG...

Looks like a vote for Bush now

 

[Stunt]

kill thousands for an unjust cause, screw over the economy, destroy US international relations, and create one job while in office = re-election

only in the good ol' USA

 

[earthman]

Bush will be the only president since the depression to leave office with less americans working than when he came in. Still 3,000,000 jobs to go just to get back where we were.

Like you needed to ask :roll:

Total Non-Farm Employment (Seasonally Adjusted)

January 2001 - 132,388,000 (non-farm employment)
April 2004 - 130,902,000 (Non-farm employment)

So that is 1,486,000 seasonally adjusted jobs less - not 3,000,000.

Now also one must consider the household survey which shows a gain of 1.643 million jobs.

First quarter 2001 - 136,933,000 Employed
Current number - 138,576,000 Employed

So either way you cut it - his post was wrong.

Why don't you research the Total net worth of the Us (Government and private), And then
research Total Debt (Government and private..) And then maybe you will have a clue, ehhhh.

Total net worth includes false borrowed money...not an accurate picture.
that is flat up debt, what you owe.

Ok, so lets say there are 1.64 million more jobs now than the end of the clinton term.
According to the Berkeley Ansley Coale Formula (P(t) = 271 + 5*t starting at 1998 and t in years)

the population has increased from 286million in 2001 to 301million ppl in 2004.
so minimal gains on jobs compared to the population increase, nice try though!

I wasn't the moron who claimed "Still 3,000,000 jobs to go just to get back where we were." Either way you cut it - he was wrong. You asked for the data - I provided it. Now if you want to whine about population growth -that's another subject.
The FACTS are - the economy is getting better and has been doing so in an increasing manner. The 8.2% growth we saw late last year was no fluke - it was real - just like these job increase numbers this year.
