Getting to be pretty typical.  That is so patently false, I am actually surprised. You have always been alarmist, but not part of the blatant lie crowd until now. Regan grew the deficit  Bush 1 grew the deficit  Clinton created a surplus  Bush 2 wiped out the surplus, and grew the deficit  Obama grew the deficit (so far).  So 4 ouf of 5 of recent presidents grew the deficit and 3 of them were Repugs.    http://home.adelphi.edu/sbloch/deficits.html   How's the purple sky on your planet? Or are you just being a bald faced liar who knows better? :irishwink:   You've been hanging out with Brentastic again, haven't you Spicoli?

Savage Beatings Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 Despite the increase in employment, the Labor Department said that the unemployment rate rose to 9.9 percent in March from an unrevised 9.7 percent in March. The increase came as a surprise to economists, who expected the unemployment rate to remain unchanged. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azazello1313 Posted June 17, 2010 Author Share Posted June 17, 2010 New jobless claims up sharply as layoffs persist, raising concerns about recovery's strength  A rise in first-time jobless claims, combined with this week's report that said new home construction plunged in May after government incentives expired, highlighted fears about the strength of the economic rebound. If layoffs persist, there's a concern that the June employment numbers may show a decline in private-sector jobs after five straight months of gains, said Jennifer Lee, an economist with BMO Capital Markets.  "We've definitely seen the economic recovery hit a wall," Lee said.  First-time jobless claims have hovered near 450,000 since the beginning of the year after falling steadily in the second half of 2009. That has raised concerns that hiring is lackluster and could slow the recovery.  The four-week average for unemployment claims, which smooths volatility, dipped slightly to 463,500. That's down by 3,750 from the start of January.  Kevin Logan, an economist with HSBC Securities, said many economists have been expecting claims to fall below 450,000 for several weeks now.  "The wait is getting longer and longer," said Logan. "As each week goes by, doubts about the underlying strength of the economic expansion grow." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
