I love this. First you all claimed kicker checks wouldn't affect the economy at all...and then when they do, you say it doesn't count.
I do understand.
However, that's not the discussion. The discussion is whether or not we're in a recession. And we aren't.
Still, there's no recession now.
I'm challenging that, by challenging the skewed numbers used to make the claim. When you use REAL numbers, there's probably no way to claim there's no recession. The numbers you use, although lacking in depth, are just good enough to make you feel better.
You're no conservative, Baba. You're a wanna-be, who picks a couple pet issues to run with so you can claim it online. You're in the center, at best. And you lean left economically. THAT much has been shining through over the past few months. You are overjoyed at being able to say there's no recession, when the tactics used to be able to avoid having to report numbers that would otherwise indicate a recession, are about as socialistic as it gets. If you were really a conservative, you'd be exasperated at the efforts used to avoid having to report a recession, rather than exclaiming over and over that there ISN'T one, thanks to the socialism used to provide you with the ability to do so.
You're a typical fair-weather conservative. You probably wouldn't have the stomach to deal with the recession we SHOULD be reporting, had we not intervened in a way that would make Marx proud.
DAMN that must sting.
You really are mentally challenged, you know. But harmless, at least.
Unemployment stats don't take into consideration people whose benefits run out
Some people think that to get these figures on unemployment the Government uses the number of persons filing claims for unemployment insurance (UI) benefits under State or Federal Government programs. But some people are still jobless when their benefits run out, and many more are not eligible at all or delay or never apply for benefits. So, quite clearly, UI information cannot be used as a source for complete information on the number of unemployed.
Can't let facts get in the way. There is a reason economists claim 4.0-4.5% unemployment in the US really mean FULL employment. Because they DO count the chronically unemployed on those numbers. In any western Democracy 4-5% of the eligable working population will CHOOSE not to work. But they are counted in most unemployment statistics. 5% is widely considered a good equilibrium number. Under than and business begins to get stressed with some labor SHORTAGES. At 4% business begins to hit labor CRISIS stage.This is actually a lie. That is not how unemployment is determined. So the numbers aren't skewed by your big ugly conspiracy.
How the Government Measures Unemployment
Seriously people why make yourself look like an ass by not using Google. It only takes ten seconds. Just do the search and quit talking out your ass.
