August Jobs Report

[J. J.]

Yesterday, there was a prediction that 2012 unemployment rate would be 9.0%.

That report came from the White House.

[J. J.]

Some good news, the White House lowered the expected debt growth.

It will get trampled under the bad news, but the debt ceiling deal helped.

[J. J.]

I see some here are enjoying the fact the economy is creating no jobs. Would I be out of line if I said the Republicans want the economy to do bad?

No, but I want the policy that led to that no permanent job creation, ended.

(And just for the record, I did post some good news.)

You'd be out of line to say that Republicans want the economy to improve, it's time to call them out on their destructive behavior.

The R's are just commenting on it.  The D's are doing it.

(Well, partly responsible.)

Quite simple

Adam Smith 2.0 in da house! Explain to me using your advanced econometric model as to how Democratic fiscal policy contributed to these job losses. I expect you to show all of your work and for you to use correct terms when doing so. Begin!

Please explain what you think the the Republicans are doing that is "destructive behavior?"

Yeah, all the "commenting" they did with the debt ceiling has nothing to do with today's report.

Medium term, it will help, and it did produce a good result, as noted.

By whom? Your crystal ball?

I don't see anything there. But then again you'd perceive as a good result anything that makes Obama's reelection more difficult.

Then you missed it, pity.

Here it is:

Some good news, the White House lowered the expected debt growth.

It will get trampled under the bad news, but the debt ceiling deal helped.

It will help free up money for the private sector.  I think it is some very good news.  Both Congress and Obama deserve some credit for it.

Boy, I credit Obama for something, on a day when most of the news is bad, and I get called a hack.
