The beast is, of course, the global economic system currently in place/being put in place which will give rise to the Antichrist.

Hope you've all got your seatbelts on tight, it's going to be a bumpy ride on the road to hell

Today is 2-6. Try to catch one of the major news programs on the Public Broadcasting System. You'll find that one set of statistics is up and another, which is supposed to measure the same thing. Is down.

Only if the general population is dead-stupid. What kinds of jobs are these BTW? More hamburger flipping? Should I forget that I was lied to just so his conservative buds could play their international chess games? What about those 50k Iraqi's slaughtered? What about that budget deficit? Oops, and let's not forget the fact that's it's looking like Bush had at least SOME warning of 9/11 and did NOTHING. Oh, and one more thing. Why is it that we sit on the largest stockpile of last-ditch weapons in the world, but expect EVERYONE else to get rid of THEIR'S in the name of "peace?" Hypocrisy?

BTW, I voted for Bush last time.

All those people who lost their outsourced jobs have gotten desperate and are taking part time jobs at Wal-Mart. I'll buy this 'recovery' if anyone can show me data on the average household income minus the top 10% now or at any point since 2000 being at the same level or higher.

Thankfully, it won't occur until the economy hits this value:

$1.2041E+168

Heinlein fans?

Doesn't look as good without all the 0's.

 

[ITJunkie]

Come on people...for every "stat" or "article" that shows the economy is doing fine, there is an equal "stat" or "article" that will show the economy is anemic.

These really are useless until the job market picks up. In 92' it was "It's the economy stupid". In 04' "It's the JOBS stupid". Once again Bush is a day late and 1/2 a trillion dollars short.

yes, about those 50K slaughtered Iraqi's. Please do explain. Or are you just taking an artistic liscence? And does the US use its stockpile of weapons for harm? How many countries have we used nuclear bombs on? How recent was that use? What was the purpose for that use? How man countries have we used chem weapons on? How recent and what was the purpose for the use? So, no, I dont sense any sort of hypocricy. And you do realize that if we got rid of our weapons stockpiles, that woujld be an open invitation for our enemies to come and attack us.

and who cares if you voted for Bush last time?

Not at all. I wouldn't have opened my mouth without some substance to back it up. Explain what? Where I got the number? Nope. I'm not going to play THAT game with you. Prove me wrong, if you can. Yes, we do indeed use our national military assets to kill and intimidate, for little or no >real< gain. Where have YOU been since the Korean war? Japan, two of them, under dubious circumstances I might add. Should I include all the unintentional radioactivity we spread during the "silver dome" debacle? Does it matter how long ago it was, especially considering that no one but our friends can "legally" them now? Gas? How about the Branch Davidians?

I in no way attempted to have/make you "sense" anything. If you can't see a big-fat-FACT staring you in the face then that's your problem. Yeah right, the world HATES us and wants to take our ever-shrinking freedoms away, for NO reason. Primarily the "world" just wants our money, secondarily they want us the leave them alone.

If you don't get the point of why I added my last presidential vote to the post, I can't make you understand, Genesys.

here's a more detailed version from Yahoo! Finance
http://biz.yahoo.com/rb/040206/economy_9.html

What kinds of jobs are these BTW? More hamburger flipping?
You're right!! Every single new job was at a Walmart or McDonalds. In fact check out Monster.com, nothing but Walmart listings. WOAH!!

All those people who lost their outsourced jobs have gotten desperate and are taking part time jobs at Wal-Mart. I'll buy this 'recovery' if anyone can show me data on the average household income minus the top 10% now or at any point since 2000 being at the same level or higher.

last line from the link in this post:

Average hourly earnings rose to $15.49 from $15.47.

now two cents may be small, but its times hundreds of millions of americans, so its a good sign.

oh and upper management, CEOs and the likes are discluded from this, as they are not "hourly" wage workers. pretty sure it also discludes most of silicon valley, since a tech worker will get paid the same amount for the entire day whether they work 6 hours or 10 hours (Unpaid overtime is automatically expected in the valley, as it has always been it you want to remain competitive)

oh, and i'm anti-bush based purely on his enviromental policies. sure his double tax cuts have put more money in my pocket (and yours unless you're posting from a McDonalds located inside a Walmart).

as far as i'm concerned the president plays a very small role in the macroeconomic picture.

Dude, that's a monster sarcasm fest over by you! Are you saying that 112k jobs makes the loss of 3.5 million+ meat-and-potatoes jobs seem any better. It's a decent start, but it's going to have to get better, and quickly.

You don't have a clue if you think that 3.5+ million jobs are gone. It's funny when kids make up stories but it's pretty pitiful when ...oh wait - let me guess - you are still in school.

Some people sure doesn't agree

Job Growth in January Disappoints

Quote:

"The payrolls number was well below market expectations and confirms the jobs market in the U.S. is weak," said Daniel Tenengauzer, vice president for foreign exchange at Lehman Brothers.


Analysts had expected the economy, which has been showing strength in areas other than job growth, to add 150,000 new jobs in January after an originally reported gain of only 1,000 the previous month. The Labor Department (news - web sites) revised the December figure to an increase of 16,000.

End Quote

Then don't pretend you know numbers then - OK? It's quite obvious you don't know what you are talking about if you think there have been 3.5+ million lost. Now care to try to again without going off on a rant filled tangent?
