“Sure employment numbers are depressed; but 600,000 people gave up looking for work at all in May alone, so they’re not counted as “unemployed” so the unemployment rate is still ok.
Woohoo if we just get enough people permanently unemployed we’ll be back on easy street again.” – Ertdfg
Hey I think you’re on to something here.
A new class of Americans, the Permanently Unemployed or PU for short.
This group would be even better than the Illegal Invaders.
Since they’d be totally dependent on the government they would all, not just a measly 65%, have to vote Democrat! Wow! That would help to secure Obama’s Legacy like nothing else. Is there an Agency keeping track of the growing numbers of PU People? Inquiring minds wanna know.

Sure employment numbers are depressed; but 600,000 people gave up looking for work at all in May alone, so they’re not counted as “unemployed” so the unemployment rate is still ok.
Woohoo if we just get enough people permanently unemployed we’ll be back on easy street again. This is the right direction to prosperity… who put this cliff on my path?
You know, if we simply ended the private sector and told nobody to look for work at all, we’d be at the magic 0% unemployment and finally this economic strategy of damaging businesses and raising costs would finally have proven successful.
Sadly some businesses are still holding on to the plan of trying to weather this storm. Which is why we need Cap & Trade to raise their energy, transportation, and production costs by 30-60%. If they won’t fold to help the economy, we need to force them out of business.
But the ones we’ve driven out of the workforce so far are a pretty good start; especially this early in the Obama economic destruction administration.

What “Conditions” be those???? Seems straight forward enough to me…If people are not spending money, those employed saving for a rainy day or the unemployed just scraping by making bills, how are small businesses to survive and hire the unemployed….You and Obama FAILED…The money’s been spent…Trillions wasted…and now the bills are coming due….Raise taxes to pay for your mistakes, tripling the already hyper inflated deficit…BAD IDEA will force more businesses under…OR print more money…ALSO BAD IDEA….Inflation……..”Obama’s goin pay my gas and mortgage.”

Obviously, the writer isn’t out of work. It is really over 21% un-employment.

This administration is the Oligarchy Protection League. The fat cats get fatter, the poor get poorer, and the middle class is shrinking.

My God, is everyone in the Obama administration, including Obama, on drugs????? I live in a state where unemployment continues to grow – not decrease. There are NO JOBS!!!!! Unemployment checks are not jobs! It does not help the economy. Obama and his pernicious agenda is destroying this country. I cannot believe that the MSM continues to support this corrupt, hubris idiot!!!!!
