Unemployment falls to 9.0 pct

[Hacp]

Hey, Republicans have been in power in Congress for at least a month, and they haven't fixed the economy yet? Yeah, I remember the talk of the the uncertaintly of the tax laws stopping the rich from hiring. Now that uncertainty is gone, where is the the wave of hiring? Or is it that Republicans have no clue on the economy, their only answer is more tax cuts?

Three letters. EPA.

We need a balanced budget, raised taxes and some type of protectionist measures. That's just the gist of it as each of those things are quite broad statements.

Didn't you read the OP?

Unemployment falls to 9.0 pct

The unemployment rate dropped sharply last month to 9 percent, the lowest level in nearly two years.

The unemployment rate has fallen by eight-tenths of a percentage point in the past two months.

That's the steepest two-month drop in nearly 53 years.

I'm glad that those that can't find a job have given up, it's good to see them stop inflating the unemployment numbers. America is about low-unemployment, if you can't find a job, quit so we don't look so bad.

Why do you think it's all Obama's fault? What did Bush and the Republicans do while wealthy businessmen shipped millions of jobs overseas or filled them with foreigners on H-1B and L-1 visas? What did the Republicans do when millions of poor immigrants displaced Americans from lower class jobs and put downward pressure on their wages?

NOTHING! Oh that's right. They probably thought it was just beneficial workings of the free market. Then the Republicans wanted to give amnesty to the illegal aliens. Until the Republicans at least come out and advocate eliminating the H-1B and L-1 visa programs, Republicans and Tea Partiers should shut their yaps.

Which presidental administration and president helped to push for and signed the GATT treaty into law?

If you think this is all Bush's fault you are either a hack, clueless or a little bit of both.

But the messiah promissed that his porkulus plan would ensure that unemployment wouldn't go above 8%.

The messiah's term is half over. He owns this. But he's incapable of accepting responsibility for anything.

/Waits for Dave to blame Bush.

It was over 8% when ARRA began...

I blame both parties for this predicament. My point is that the Republicans deserve just as much blame as the Democrats.

Obama's recovery plan hurt us rather than helped us.

Just the mere thought of a stimulus sent the job market crashing.

Then the health care bill killed the recovery.

Finally, Obama is going to send us into the next great depression with all these new rules set by the EPA.

Its a triple threat.

Obama keeps killing growth and prosperity whenever he sees it.

We're doomed until we vote him out.

I think we have the biggest joke of this early century here with the above post.

I think both HACP's and your posts have an equal face palm factor to them.

Where I live (which is the only number I care about) unemployment just UPTICKED again to 14.5%. Our U6 rate just UPTICKED again to 23.6%.

So if you count U6, we’re in great depression territory.
