In reply to the discussion: US Unemployment Claims Hit 4-Year Low of 357K [View all]mother earth
(6,002 posts)that there's been growth of much of anything...while these numbers may be the lowest of 4 years. I believe we are always lied to and mislead by the real numbers that simply do not take all factors into account.
Isn't this just another way of saying, we are losing jobs at a slower rate than the past four years? If we are to be happy, let's not even bother with this measurement.
As for ANY republican claiming Obama can be at fault for the dire economic situation, they are living in a friggin bubble if they believe or expect people to believe that grand lie. Although, truth be told, the stimulus should have gone big first time around, since we aren't likely to see another one at least until after the election.
Hey, we are in a sad state of affairs all way around, mostly thanks to the lying and thievery of the enabled 1%ers who have hijacked our "democracy", and continue to do so with help from their bought and paid for lying and thieving politicians.
I guess I'm just not that thankful today. We deserve better and more...life should not be about getting by and being thankful for the crumbs thrown our way.
Poor clueless Romney & any other fools who believe this current state of existence is sustainable, I think they will be in for a few eye openers themselves. I hope for an all out ousting of the republicans - large scale, and all the corporate blue dogs who think our current brand of capitalism is still working.
