Anybody catch the jobs number this morning?

[IcebergSlim]

And you've got Ray's endorsement.......which may not be worth all that much after his colossal blunder regarding the effect of the Verizon strike....

Level with me, Dale......how many hours every week do you spend listening to Rush (or some other radio huckster), watching FOX, or scanning Drudge?

Here we go again. If I had a five dollar bill every time some liberal brought up Fox, Limbaugh or Hannity...............

You see, Ray, leftards want you to listen and watch leftard news because you need to be indoctrinated into leftardism.

Here's a deal.....you stipulate to how much time you spend ogling Drudge, or any of the other Rube Aggregators, and I will tell you exactly how much time I spend with any list of 6 sources of "leftard news". Are we good?

I don't spend ANY time on Drudge's website and what do you consider "Rube Aggregators"???? Anything that doesn't push the leftard clown posse agenda? Youtube has thousands upon thousands of lectures and documentaries from accredited researchers and authors like Antony Sutton, interviews with former KGB agents that defected like Yuri Bezmenov. Listened to an incredible interview with Major George Jordan that kept a detailed account of how USA.INC opened up the patent office to the commies and actually gave them printing plates so they could print currency. Yeah, you could say that I would make "mince meat" out of you in a debate as to what is really going on. It's fucking SICKENING and it's worse than you could even fathom. I download books like "None Dare Call It A Conspiracy" b y Gary Allen, "Confessions Of An Economic Hitman" by John Perkins, "Pawns In The Game" by William Guy Carr, Tragedy and Hope" by Carroll Quigley, etc, etc......what about you? What was the last book YOU read? I have done the work and put in the effort to know what I know so I'll be damned if I will "pussyfoot" around with some piker like you....get it???

The most recent one I completed was The Getaway, by Jim Thompson.....you may have heard of the movie...

Am putting the finishing touches on Thieves Fall Out.......I was interested to see what Gore Vidal did with the pulp fiction metier.....I gotta pick something good for this week (I am giving myself that pleasure) before I put in another 200 hours preparing for a charter exam in September (having just put in 300 preparing to take the test I sat for this weekend)...

Can't decide whether I should powerplow through Mason&Dixon, by Pynchon, one of Vidal's historical novels, or maybe something from the Donald Goines oeuvre......any recommendations?

 

[IcebergSlim]

Why would you kick LTCArmyRet when he is down?

No, better to kick you when you're down.

The labor participation rate hasn't been this low since 1979, yet we hear of all these wonderful things DumBama has done for the economy. Or is it this low because of the Verizon strike???

What does the graph indicate as the peak?

What has happened since that?

Do you think the people in the 70s were just a bunch of slackers?

Can you name the POTUS under whom we saw the highest avg monthly hob gains?

What does the graph indicate as the peak?

What has happened since that?

Do you think the people in the 70s were just a bunch of slackers?

Can you name the POTUS under whom we saw the highest avg monthly hob gains?

The peak came under a Republican Congress that balanced the budget and nearly wiped out the deficit. But they are not totally responsible. We had a tech bubble that created new jobs by the millions. It was an entirely new avenue of job creation. This is not to mention Welfare Reform that took place under Gingrich that put people back to work. Clinton vetoed the bill twice, but Republicans sat on it until his reelection bid came up. Then he had no choice but to sign it.

So what's happening now? What's happening is that these people not working (nor looking for work) are living on the dole. True, the baby boom has something to do with that, but not entirely or mostly. One-seventh of our population is being fed by taxpayers, and this is not to mention the school lunch, breakfast, and in some places, dinner programs. Millions of jobs are out there that Americans don't want to do. Why should they? They do just as good if not better on the dole.

This is no accident, this is intentional. The more people that depend on the government to survive, the more likely Democrat votes.

I'm quite familiar with The Narrative.......read the question again.....it requests that you employ FACTS......

Its clear you're not only not interested in facts, you're not interested in debate, just screeching idiocies from the far left to other brain dead liberals like yourself.

You asked for what policies obama has engaged to encourage illegals to enter the US, I listed plenty of them. Now you claim they are not factual, so you know what asshole, show where the policies I listed are not 100% truthful, or STFU and leave this thread. You sound like a trolling moron.

The Funniest BLS Report Ever

Only a captured government drone could put out a report showing only 38,000 new jobs created, with the working age population rising by 205,000, and have the balls to report the unemployment rate plunged from 5.0% to 4.7%, the lowest since August 2007. If you ever needed proof these worthless bureaucrats are nothing more than propaganda peddlers for the establishment, this report is it. The two previous months were revised significantly downward in the fine print of the press release.

It is absolutely mind boggling that these government pond scum hacks can get away with reporting that 484,000 people who WERE unemployed last month are no longer unemployed this month. Life is so fucking good in this country, they all just decided to kick back and leave the labor force. Maybe they all won the Powerball lottery. How many people do you know who can afford to just leave the workforce and live off their vast savings?

In addition, 180,000 more Americans left the workforce, bringing the total to a record 94.7 million Americans not in the labor force. The corporate MSM will roll out the usual “experts” to blather about the retirement of Baby Boomers as the false narrative to deflect blame from Obama and his minions. The absolute absurdity of the data heaped upon the ignorant masses is clearly evident in the data over the last three months. Here is government idiocracy at its finest:

Number of working age Americans added since March – 406,000

Number of employed Americans since March – NEGATIVE 290,000

Number of Americans who have supposedly voluntarily left the workforce – 1,226,000

Unemployment rate – FELL from 5.0% to 4.7%


Talk about perpetrating the BIG LIE. Goebbels and Bernays are smiling up from the fires of hell as their acolytes of propaganda have kicked it into hyper-drive. We only need the other 7.4 million “officially” unemployed Americans to leave the work force and we’ll have 0% unemployment. At the current pace we should be there by election time. I wonder if Cramer, Liesman, or any of the other CNBC mouthpieces for the establishment will point out that not one single full-time job has been added in 2016. There were 6,000 less full-time jobs in May than in January, while there are 572,000 more low paying, no benefits, part-time Obama service jobs. Sounds like a recovery to me.

It gets even better. The birth death excel spreadsheet “adjustment” added 224,000 phantom jobs into the May calculation. The lies – they burn. We know for a fact more businesses are closing than opening since the 2008 financial crisis. This model assumes more openings than closings. IT’S ADJUSTMENT IS DEAD WRONG. In reality, jobs should be subtracted from the total. It added 231,000 phantom jobs in April too. The jobs numbers are much worse than the bad numbers being reported.

When you see lies, misinformation and deceitfulness at this level, you have to ask yourself whether this entire debt supported house of cards is about to fall. The smell of desperation is in the air. The MSM stories about a booming economy are rolled out on a daily basis. Meanwhile, the average family is being crushed by Obamacare, rising rents, rising food costs, and no interest on any savings they might have left.

It also seems awfully suspicious that within seconds of the awful report, the faux journalists immediate reaction was NO FED RATE HIKE in June or July. These pundits of propaganda want the ignorant masses to think a .25% increase in interest rates actually matters to the economy or the average person. We’ve had ZIRP for almost seven years and the economy blows. Rates have been at emergency levels as the establishment has flogged the economic recovery story to death. There has been no recovery for the average person. The recovery has been for Wall Street and the sycophants who suck off their teat.

Obama has been on his self congratulatory tour exclaiming how fucking awesome the economy has been under his reign of error. The Bush presidency was most certainly a fiscal disaster, but Obama’s tenure was even worse. The numbers don’t lie, but Obama does.

Look at that stupendous record of success. Obama should be as proud as punch. Since the unemployment rate is now back to 2007 levels, before the Federal Reserve/Wall Street/Washington DC created financial implosion, let’s take a look at the Obama success story:

• The workforce has grown by 21 million people, while the number of employed has grown by a whopping 5 million.
• The labor participation rates has plunged from 66.0% to 62.6%, the lowest since the 1970s.
• The number of Americans who have left the work force because their lives are so fulfilled is 16 million. I’m sure there is no correlation to food stamps or SSDI enrollment.
• The Boomer retirement narrative is proven false by the fact that a record percentage of Americans over the age of 65 are working in order to avoid starvation and homelessness.
• Of the 5 million jobs added since 2007, only 2 million of them were full-time.
• Obama’s success in destroying the mining industry is borne out in the 207,000 jobs destroyed in the last two years.
• The percentage of men aged 25 to 54 (prime working years) not working is at an all-time high.
• Real median household income (using the fake understated CPI) is still 1.3% LOWER today than it was in 2007.
• Wages continue to stagnate in the 2.3% range, while real inflation for real people in the real world exceeds 5%.

It doesn’t matter how much propaganda the establishment peddles, average families who aren’t beholden to the establishment for their living, know how bad the things have gotten. They have been getting increasingly pissed off. The rising tide of support for Trump and Sanders is a reaction to the lies, misinformation, mismanagement, corruption, and lawlessness of the establishment. The people know they have been screwed. The complex web which makes up the establishment control makes it difficult for the average person to discern who exactly has screwed them, but they know a screw when they feel it.

As this summer progresses and the economy continues to sink, the anger will continue to build. The violence has already begun, as paid thugs are bused in to create havoc at every Trump rally. The establishment fears the unknown. They need to control the agenda. Trump scares them. The economy is clearly in recession for the average family. The stock, bond, and real estate markets are the most overvalued in history. A crash in any or all of these markets would unleash mayhem. The next five months could alter the future course of this country. Stay tuned.

This time, Ray - eschew that narrative crap, ok?

For one, the Republicans (again) created welfare reform. That took people off the gimme roles and put them on the providing roles. Next the Republicans got rid of some of the wasteful spending. Prior to their leadership, we had pencil pushers between the federal government and state. The Republicans slimlined that process by block grants of welfare programs. It gave the states more power to administer those checks based on their criteria. In the process, it eliminated a lot of needless government workers. Instead of the federal government writing millions of checks, they only wrote one for each state.

Gingrich also convinced Clinton to lower the capital gains tax rates. By lowering those taxes, it encouraged more investment in the market. Unlike today with this phony federal reserve pumping in trillions to make the market look good, the market was sound because the investments came from businesses and individuals. It reflected the actual economy unlike the last couple of years.

I can appreciate why you have spent your life avoiding it...

All I read before I woke up was fiction especially Stephen King. So I guess I just "punked" you yet again......

especially Stephen King.

Oh, yeah........you "punked" me good with that one.....Stephen King.....yeah......I'm in pieces.....

Dale,

You would be a star exhibit for my case in favor of Intelligent Design......but not for the reasons you will suspect.

Yeah, reading fiction from a queer like Gore Vidal makes you a real "intellectual heavyweight". I know more than you and I understand more than you....fact.

Let's just say it gets you closer than reading Stephen King......Have you read any of Vidal's works?

Burr is a remarkable piece of historical scholarship....

And what the f.... is it with you idiots and Bold Assertions?

King is an incredible writer. His book "The Stand" was a masterpiece where he described each and every character in vivid detail and the plot is a very believable given what we know about man made viruses and how cavalier the CDC is in handling them. "It" was also a very great read. His short stories that didn't necessarily deal with horror were incredibly well written and thought provoking like "Apt Pupil". Have I ever read anything by Gore Vidal? Nope and I have no plans to do so. I avoid liberal/Fabian socialist writings and leanings like the plague. I find them utterly disgusting in every shape, fashion or form.
The power elite has not had a better pawn to use than the left and they have worked them like a low dollar hooker to bring us to the place we are today.
