Buzzkill: Bad Jobs Report

Heck Nancy Pelosi believes that unemployment compensation creates jobs. I guess things could have been worse without government involvement, but anyone who deems this administration a success in creating jobs or job growth is kidding themselves....

You missed my point entirely since you still are naive enough to think the Bloods or the Crips will change anything. I wish I were naive, it is better then the hopelessness in the way I see it. Jeffery Immelt as a jobs czar is a joke almost as bad as Mitt Romney aka Bain capital. Buy a company, fire employees, sell company... An equally if not worse person to be in charge.

I am not ready to throw the towel in yet. Yes all politicians are crooks and liars. Corporations are in it for the $ and will ship jobs overseas. We know the current administration's policies and what they have done. Will Romney/Ryan be better? It is yet to be seen, but your choice is to say we are doomed, stick with what hasn't worked or hope by some miracle that the GOP changes this at least to some degree. To me it is always the lesser of 2 evils.....

The big issue is the govetnment is in bed with big banks/ investment firms. These companies buy out all the major players of the industry slash pricing or do billing etc... and kill the mid level distributers. This in turn kills the smaller companies and all but haults start-ups. This is why the economy is dying. Big banks/investment firms are in the polititions pockets and are killing all but the biggest companies.

too true. and romney's position is to loosen bank regulations even more. what will that do??? we don't need banks running rampant again/still!! they need to put glass/steagall back in action.

and it wasn't that favorite target of dems, george bush, who signed that law removing g/s. that would be bill clinton. yeah, it's all bushes fault the economy took a sh!t.

but yeah, the real problem is that poLIEticians are in it for the money. and us middle class peasants aren't the ones with the money.

that is a fine line you need with banking regulation. Too much regulation like we have today and there is no risk taking in business or consumer lending. Too little regulation and we get what we had in the early 2000's. Dodd/Frank went way too far and is not helping the consumer at all just putting more money in the government and the banks pockets

there's more on the way. a bank just announced that with all the new regs coming down, it's not going to be profitable for them to keep doing business so they're closing the doors.
but what's happened is that the regulations are killing all the small ones-but not the big banks they'll benefit immensely. but like i said, follow the $. it's always about the money.
thing is, it would be pretty easy to get things back to where they need to be-but those with the true power don't want that to happen.

almost makes me just say forget it, and start watching that boo boo show, or dancing with the stars and not read the news anymore.

So Glass/Steagall enacted after the Great Depression so we wouldn't have another. It is repealed and low and behold within 10 years another depression.

They sure changed things during the last administration that's for sure. I don't think you will get many that disagree with you there.

So you are telling me something I didn't already know? Both parties/candidates are a joke. Tell us how the GOP will create jobs this time around since they lost Millions the last time they were in charge? Tell us how they will make it better.

good luck with that. repubs can't make it better. or they won't. it's whatever puts the most in their pocket that they're worried about.

I didn't say they would make it better did I? I said that we know the path that we have seen in the last 4 years, we know the past presidents issues Bush, Clinton etc. We can choose to just quit and become part of China, or we can choose to continue with what the dems are doing or we can hope that the GOP will change things. This country really needs a good viable 3rd party that will act in the best interest of the citizens of the country. That is the hope and change we really need, but will never get.
