The Jobs Stall For 18 months we’ve been on track to never return to full employment—why won’t the Federal Reserve do something? By Matthew Yglesias|Posted Friday, Aug. 3, 2012, at 11:41 AM ET The underlying reality from the more precise establishment survey was sunnier—a net addition of 163,000 is a decent number. Except that in broader context, there’s nothing decent about it. Across the first half of 2012, the economy’s added 151,000 jobs per month. Across 2011, the number was 153,000 per month. Those are the kind of numbers a healthy economy would be adding. But the American economy didn’t start this period in a healthy place, and needs to be adding jobs at double or triple that rate to get us back to full employment. Just on Wednesday the Federal Reserve’s Open Market Committee met and proclaimed that “economic activity decelerated somewhat” in recent months and that it anticipated “that the unemployment rate will decline only slowly toward levels that it judges to be consistent with its dual mandate.” The guardians of macroeconomic stability, in other words, knew nothing particularly good was coming. And the truly shocking thing isn’t the news but the proposed response—to do nothing different. |
and from that article, regarding congress:
Here in the United States, Congress is naturally prepared to make things even worse. At the end of 2012 the Bush tax cuts are scheduled to expire fully. This is somewhat perverse in light of the combination of high unemployment and ultra-low interest rates that militates in favor of bigger rather than smaller budget deficits. But what makes it especially perverse is that Democrats and Republicans both favor extending the majority of the tax cuts. The disagreement is only over the extension of reductions on marginal rates beyond the first $250,000 in taxable income. Democrats want to bring those back to their pre-Bush level. Republicans don’t. And in order to try to preserve their leverage, Republicans are refusing to vote for the tax-cut extension that both parties favor unless Democrats will throw the high-rate cuts in as well. please consider the above when deciding on what congressional candidates you're planning to vote for. also, keep in mind that the majority of americans DO NOT FAVOR extending the tax cuts to the top income earners. you know, the ones paying less taxes than they have in most of the last century. |

No tax cuts for anyone. Not until the bills are paid.
Not that they would do that with the extra cash though. That would go toward, "strengthening the 'middle class'", of course. |

Riot please keep amusing me with your attempts to spin the horrendous unemployment numbers and in defending that filthy, corrupt liar Harry Reid. Reid was just using the methods of the most corrupt political machine in the history of US politics, the Chicago Democrats, which is to throw out false allegations with no proof against an opponent and then call for the opponent to provide proof. Only morons defend that tired old act. I have a question for you Riot, why won't Obama release his college transcripts? Is he afraid that the rest of America will know what most of us already know, that Obama ia a brain-celled challenged idiot. All one has to do is listen to his constant "uh uh uh" during debates and his constant gaffes when he doesn't have a Teleprompter in front of him.
Obama continues to defy history. Before him, generally the bigger the recession, the stronger the recovery. 8.25% or 8.3% are pathetic, anemic numbers, especially when you consider how many people have dropped out of the job market and aren't even counted. If you include those people, the unemployment rate is over 11%. |

Like the President, she will constantly attack Romney instead of being able to truthfully push Obama's accomplishments. Be careful of getting into the Riot vortex, she gets nasty and always has to have the last word. |
Thanks Pointman and to Riot, bring it on! Thoughtless liberal sheep like her who faithfully spew David Axelrod's lies and propaganda to coverup for ideas and policies that failed all over the world last century do not intimidate me.

Ah, politics ...
The only politician who doesn't reveal his income taxes is one who has something to hide. Romney could embarrass Harry Reid so severely, prove Reid a liar, cause Reid to have to resign his position as Leader due to embarrassment - yet doesn't. The reason Mittens hasn't released his tax returns is because what's in there has been determined by the campaign to be more damaging than this day-after-day loss in the news cycle about his tax returns. I think it's either tax amnesty, or hiding money from his church (Reid is a more powerful Mormon in the Church than Romney) You don't see The Maverick John McCain - who has actually seen 23 years of Mittens tax returns - either saying anything against Harry Reid, or standing up for Romney. Don't forget Reid also made this accusation on the very floor of the Senate, read into the Senate record - a hallowed, respected area for truth telling. McCain isn't calling Reid a liar, nor even offering up a word in support of Romney. Total silence. McCain will call out BS in a minute. He's silent on Harry Reid, and he's seen Romney's tax returns. Romney is a proven liar about his taxes - in 2002 he lied to the public repeatedly, day after day, until he was publicly caught (reference what residency he used to file his taxes, exposed by Boston Globe in 2002). So there is zero reason to believe Romney about taxes now. |

How many people have gone on SSID? I heard it was 1.6 million. $20 billion a year money wise.
What's really horrible is not only are these people unemployed they're (a portion) stealing money out of the neediest of the needy's mouths. |
