Government Needs to Back Off on Jobs
By Peter Schiff
Once again, the big government policies of President Obama and the Democrats in Congress have kicked the American worker while he's down. Today's release of December non-farm payrolls revealed that another 85,000 Americans lost their...
News like this is often sat upon till the weekend. That they'd sit on this till a holiday weekend shows where their heads are at. Even MSNBC gets things right every now and then.

More at the source. Lots to look forward to in the new decade.
Here's an interesting animated map that shows the rates of unemployment as the recession has unfolded. It's like watching a horror movie unfold as it progresses.

Really worse than the Great Depression? How so? I don't see the same images of breadlines, people living in tents, etc that occured during the Great Depression. Plus that was a 'depression' and this is a 'recession'...
Good news guys:
The Obama administration announced that they saved 650,000 jobs for the $150 billion that they spent.
Anyone know where I can get in line for a job that pays $230,769.23 ?
I could use the money.

Unemployment rate rises to 26-year high
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. employers cut a fewer-than-expected 216,000 jobs in August, while the unemployment rate rose to a 26-year high, the government said on Friday in a report showing a...
I personally think the unemployment rate is MUCH higher than the government is reporting. Millions of workers are not included in the total because they weren't eligible for unemployment at the time of their separation from their last employer.
I count into that total because my last employer...
These are just examples of the media love-affair with Obama. Instead of blasting the president and showing the dismal stories of people out of work, losing their homes, getting their electricity shut off, going hungry and becoming homeless.....
