Dow at 10,000 !! Can you say "JOBLESS RECOVERY"???

[MNDemNY]

yippee!!!

[AndyA]

1. Can you say "Won't last long?"

With an economy mostly driven by consumerism, with no jobs it's likely to be a very long climb back up for the economy.

I'm glad the stock market is doing better, but I keep thinking the people benefitting the most from it are the very ones who caused the problem in the first place. :(

[El Supremo]

2. Sure, for stockbrokers and investors.

Not for the millions without good jobs who work for a living.

[MNDemNY]

5. No "yippee"???

Commie.

[no_hypocrisy]

3. It's a fake-out.

I wouldn't be surprised if there were a coordinated massive sell-off to grab inflated profits for stocks.

[tridim]

4. Do you take a big shit on every piece of good news???

Booooo!!!

I really don't know how you 24/7 pessimists can get out of bed every day. It must suck.

[MNDemNY]

7. ??? I said "Yippee!" What the fuck do you want from me???

Frickin' elitist.

[PassingFair]

24. I take it YOU'RE not unemployed.

Bail out the banks and investors,
let the rest of the country be
driven from their homes.

Yea!

[tridim]

28. I've been unemployed since March (and unpaid 10 months prior to that)

I'm completely broke and am a few months away from losing my house.

Any sign of economic recovery is good news at this point. Strike that, it's GREAT news. I need a fucking job, and I need companies to start thinking about hiring again.

Now do you understand why I can't fucking stand the constant barrage of pessimism on my favorite website?

[MNDemNY]

31. ...."I did not notice the passers by, and they did not notice me...." ?

[PassingFair]

34. I don't happen to believe that saving people's investment PROFITS....

is anywhere NEAR as important as keeping people
employed and IN THEIR HOMES. Keeping families
intact. Keeping people from bankruptcy.

I doesn't help to bail out Wall Street if
those "401K's" will have to be cashed in and
used to keep people's noses above water for
a few months.

[datasuspect]

50. i can't eat a dow

[MNDemNY]

55. Add a little cummin, saute in olive oil, serve on a bed of rice. mmmm...good.

[janx]

42. There are a lot of us here.

And I feel exactly the way you do.

[MNDemNY]

29. Yippe!!!

32. Oh, yes I am.

Why the vitriol??? Didn't you just make a bundle??

[doc03]

52. Tridim, I am in the same boat as you. I was laid off from

a steel company in April because people aren't buying steel. I don't expect to be called back to work in the steel mill until people start buying steel again. The best thing that could happen today to get me back to work is for consumers to feel confident in the economic future and buy stuff. I don't understand why some always seem to hope for the worst even when we have a Democratic President. I don't hate Wall Street so much that I am going to shoot myself in the foot hoping they get burnt.

[doc03]

33. +1 Jobs always lag in an economic turnaround

During a recession companies produce and sell less. Since they sell and produce less they cut their workforce. When the economy picks back up employers are reluctant to hire new workers fearing it may be a false start and they would be forced to cut back again. That is why jobs are the last to recover. I have heard the President warn us many times the unemployment won't peak for several months after the economy starts to recover. I thought that was why we had the Stimulus Plan to help temporarily ease the impact of the job looses. The government paving roads and repairing bridges doesn't create jobs it just makes temporary work. We certainly don't need the government making more government jobs we can't afford the ones we have now.
The same thing happened after the 1992 recession but by the end of the 90's didn't Clinton claim he created 30 million jobs during his Administration and that was after NAFTA? During the Bush Administration we had little or no job growth but we were just coming out of a mild recession in early 2001 when 911 happened and then the current recession started in late 2007. The 2000s were a disaster for pretty much everyone but Wall Street.

[MNDemNY]

35. That "lag" and $4.00 will get you a cup-coffee!

yippee!! I'll let my unemployed Friends know that help is right around the corner.

[doc03]

61. Hey pal I have been unemployed for 6 months

because people don't buy steel. The only way I will be recalled is consumers have the confidence in our economic future to buy things again. The government doesn't make jobs. When the auto sales and other things that use steel pick back up to a more normal level we will make steel again. I've been in the industry for 40 years it's cyclical.

[PassingFair]

37. Not in a "Service Economy" they don't.....

What you say is true for a country that PRODUCES SOMETHING.

It don't mean nothing for the current USofA.

[MNDemNY]

43. Well, we DO have the BEST health care in the world!

[BOG PERSON]

71. It means "Main Street" is not as indispensable as it thinks. n/t

[Raineyb]

45. I'm not sure why you consider this good news. The Dow Jones is NOT

a barometer of how the rest of the country is doing.

[tridim]

49. I need a job, and companies need capital to hire me.

It's the best news I've seen in over 10 years.

I'm sorry you can't see that.

[SpartanDem]

6. I'm sure people hate seeing their 401k's recover

[MNDemNY]

8. I know I tripled my contribution in January.

yippee.

[mikelgb]

12. I was tragically born without a 401k

[MNDemNY]

13. Ahh, so your mother was a drinker??

:shrug:

[mullard12ax7]

9. Why do you hate America? I'm perky and love cheerleading and would never...

say anything mean! Go team! Rah rah rah! As long as the market pisses off some repuke I'm just so happy and giddy! I don't ever want to actually learn a thing, I'm just happy to be on a winning team!

please note the EXTREME SARCASM.

[MNDemNY]

11. FUCK !! I said "yippee" OK ???

[Individualist]

14. You seem to have missed the part about extreme sarcasm.

[MNDemNY]

16. Ditto?

[MineralMan]

10. We're all doomed! Doomed, I tell you!

[MNDemNY]

15. Get your lemons, and carry melted butter, just in case!!!

[MineralMan]

21. Lobster for everyone!

[MNDemNY]

25. HELLS YES !!!!

Wipin' my ass with 50s tonight!!!

[earth mom]

17. The stock market is meaningless to most people in this country.

It's time we all started figuring out how to provide for our own families outside of the system that those assholes on Wall Street and Madison Avenue have sold all of us.

Time for bartering, growing our own food, lessening our own personal dependence on fossil fuels, etc.

Better to be prepared now for the eventual day when the U.S. becomes a 3rd world country.

[MNDemNY]

18. "..lighten' up ,baby, I'm in love with you"!!!

[earth mom]

26. Not sure what you mean...but nothing personal in my post...just frustration with the powers that be.

:hi:

[MNDemNY]

27. Just a big Plant shout out!!!

;-) :pals:

[Vidar]

19. "JOBLESS RECOVERY" rhymes with Class Warfare in some bizarre way.

[MNDemNY]

22. Who needs a fuckin' job?? We can all get rich in the "market"!!

Yippee!!Quit wasting your money going to interviews! Invest in Blue-chips!!!! Go America!

[Vidar]

57. Ahhh cun throw in fifty cents.

[MNDemNY]

63. Great, you can double it in 9 months!!!

[kenny blankenship]

20. What part of Trickle Down don't you get?!?!

I am with you...always.

[MNDemNY]

23. Oh ,I got "mine"!

The "trickling" down will commence after this next beer!

[datasuspect]

36. happy days are here again!!!!

[MNDemNY]

38. ....fill up your glass with beer again!!!!

:o :toast:

[kenny blankenship]

54. A toast: All hail the Jobless Recovery!

[MNDemNY]

60. USA ! USA ! USA! USA !

[TheWebHead]

39. well had the Dow still been under 7k

as people at DU seem to been bizarrely wishing of late, you'd have a lot fewer companies going public, far fewer raising capital to keep from drowning in debt, filing bankruptcy and laying everyone off, and you'd see an even higher unemployment rate.

Keep in mind the stock market rising helps the party that is in power. If you want a new wave of Republicans entering congress next year, keep wishing for a steep market sell-off.

[MNDemNY]

41. What part of "yippee" was unclear?

[TheWebHead]

47. maybe the part that was dripping with sarcasm

and changing the emphasis. Jobs lag in a recovery. First sign will be hours worked, when that pushes up the next step is to hire new employees. Give it a few months.

[MNDemNY]

67. Saturated, yes, but "dripping" , I don't think so.

[marmar]

40. It's not a recovery.....It's a chimera.

Reality will set in soon.

[MNDemNY]

44. OK , Debby Downer.

[marmar]

48. selfdelete

nt

[MNDemNY]

56. you didn't have to do that.

[marmar]

59. Yes I did.....I misinterpreted your post and responded like an ass.

Lo siento, mi amigo.

[MNDemNY]

62. My skin is thick,

and I'm pretty much just havin' some fun here, tonight.

[Bolo Boffin]

46. With the dollar tanking, it doesn't mean much.

Numbers and paper shuffle around.

[Speck Tater]

51. "Jobless recovery" means "Recovery for the investor class" nt

[MNDemNY]

58. Gotta start somewhere, right?

[kenny blankenship]

65. And, really, who deserves it more?

[MNDemNY]

69. Well, if we can't just give it all to Glen Beck, this is the next best thing.

[Orwellian_Ghost]

53. Don't you see?

The fortunes of the fortunate must be protected citizen.

[MNDemNY]

66. I see nothing ! I am blinded with the joy of a 10,000 close!!!

[Sebastian Doyle]

64. No, I can't say "jobless recovery"

Because there is no fucking recovery without jobs.

When are we going to stop buying the bullshit that the "economy" is defined by a handful of treasonous criminal pieces of shit on Wall $treet?

[MNDemNY]

68. You just did. I made you say it!

C'mon, join the "recovery" party!!!:party: :party: :evilgrin: :party: :party: :toast: :evilgrin:
