Truckers' Trucking Forum/Message Board - The Premiere Truck Driver Forum

Politics Do Not Pass/Pass With Care. Today's truckers are far more educated and cognizant of the issues regarding politics due to the sharp increase in talk radio, and various trucking news media sources. Talk politics. Do truckers like politicians?

If Things Get Any "Better", We'll All Be Unemployed
George Bush would have killed for coverage like this. Considering the surprising strength of the economy in the wake of the September 11 attacks, he’d be posing for Mount Rushmore if the press had treated him the way they are treating Obama:

Job market shows some improvement
…Automatic Data Processing, a payroll-processing firm, said private-sector employers cut 473,000 jobs in June, a 2.5% improvement from the revised 485,000 drop in May.
The June job cut total was more than expected. Economists surveyed by Briefing.com had forecast a loss of 394,000 jobs last month.
However, the May tally was revised lower. ADP originally reported a loss of 532,000 private-sector jobs in May…

If you follow the same story in the Wall Street Journal, you learn that the apparent easing of job losses in May is likely nothing more than a blip:
Quote:
In another Wednesday job report, TrimTabs Investment Research estimated that job losses accelerated last month, with 472,000 jobs lost in June. TrimTabs uses daily income-tax withholdings to the U.S. Treasury to estimate changes in employment.
“Job losses slowed temporarily in May as consumers benefited from income tax refunds, President Obama’s tax credit, low interest rates, and low energy costs,” said Charles Biderman, chief executive of TrimTabs. “With the exception of the tax credit, all of those factors have disappeared or reversed.”

But apart from that, everything is coming up roses now that Barack Obama is in the White House. I know times are great because the mainstream media tells me so.

Does everybody feel good and stimulated yet? I know I sure do.

Glad we passed that Stimulus Package.

During his town hall meeting on health care reform yesterday, Obama says the stimulus package "is working".....yeah but almost 10% of the American people aren't.

Situational/circumstantial evidence to address "the big picture"....zaney. And in this particular instance it could be argued...selfish. Go figure.

Tet if you include THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE RAN OUT OF BENEFITS AND OR QUIT LOOKING FOR WORK THE ACTUAL RATE OF UNEMPLOYMENT IS CLOSER TO 16.2% IN THIS NATION. We are getting close to the max we got to even in the 30's under ROOSEVELT.

Then I guess the Administration is REALLY lying.

No one is losing a job.

Okay.

Sure- plenty of people are losing jobs- didn't you know? Some economists are predicting that the rate of unemployment could hit 11% before this is through. However, I had asked if any of our readers had lost THEIR jobs.

But- personally speaking, I got no complaints; how 'bout you?

If I stop doing my job, the government would never know, well the SEC would probably figure it out.

How's that 8% number Obama said we would reach if we didn't pass his porkulus working out?
