Jobs Truths

A couple examples of what you are not hearing in the mainstram media concerning the jobs situation. Although you did hear that the unemployment rate dropped down to 7.7%. Do you wonder why? Two things actually, the Obama Administration changing the way unemployment is figured, dropping the long term unemployed who have stopped looking for work or those who have taken menial part time jobs from the accounting, and, the fact that over 600,000 of the reported new jobs created in the last 5-6 months have been government employees.

73% of New Jobs Created in Last 5 Months Are in Government by Terence P. Jeffrey of CNS News, see report here.

Seventy-three percent of the new civilian jobs created in the United States over the last five months are in government, according to official data published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. In June, a total of 142,415,000 people were employed in the U.S, according to the BLS, including 19,938,000 who were employed by federal, state and local governments.

By November, according to data BLS released today, the total number of people employed had climbed to 143,262,000, an overall increase of 847,000 in the six months since June.

In the same five-month period since June, the number of people employed by government increased by 621,000 to 20,559,000. These 621,000 new government jobs created in the last five months equal 73.3 percent of the 847,000 new jobs created overall.

And another indication of Obama's failed economy that you won't see in the mainstream media is that Citigroup Plans to Cut 11,000 Jobs read the full article here, by Jennifer Booton.

To save more than $1 billion annually, Citigroup said this week that it plans to axe 11,000 jobs -- mostly in operations and technology -- and tighten expenses company wide.

The New York-based bank will realize about $900 million in savings in 2013, followed by more than $1.1 billion in annual savings beginning in 2014, though a Citi executive hinted in an interview with FOX Business's Elizabeth MacDonald that more cuts could be on the horizon.

"I don't think anyone can come to the conclusion the bank is going to sit back and do nothing else," the person told MacDonald. "(Citi CEO Michael) Corbat said in October he now wants to focus on operational efficiency; layoffs shouldn't be a surprise."

The latest round of cuts, which will result in a pre-tax charge of $1 billion in the fourth quarter and another $100 million in the first half of 2013, is expected to provide Citigroup the flexibility it needs to reinvest in profitable lines of business and in emerging markets.

Citibank's plan is obviously in response to Obama's plan to raise taxes across the board not to mention the obscene costs that Obamacare will bring to all businesses.

Unbelieveable News, Mid December Edition

Several things in the news struck me as unbelieveable.

Obama approval rises. Unbelieveable as the jobless rate climbs; as Obama in the shadow of the looimg fiscal cliff hasn't met face to face with Congress since November 16th and now has went on vaction through the end of December; as the federal debt climbs to well over $16 Trillion, and as Obama asked Congress to do away with the debt limit and let him spend on whatever he wants to spend it on.

Unbelieveable that Obama is spending $4 million of tax payer money for his vacation while people reside in New York and New Jersey without power or running water while FEMA sits idly by; and Obama renders his suport for unions fighting against the "right to work" legislation being pushed by more and more states. Why would anyone be against the right to work without paying union dues? Because the Unions want workers to be forced to pay union dues to work so they have a bigger war chest to put forth a political agenda to keep Obama and other socialist/communist in charge.

Unbelievable that a West Point Cadet quits West Point without incuring any pay back costs for his education nor required military service. Then he is allowed to run his stinking pie hole about how his "rights" were abused because West Point is a culture that promotes prayer and religious activities and "disrespects nonreligious cadets". Well here's a clue you ass clown of a human being, there are no non-religious people when people are shooting at you. And the main reason people are trying to kill us now days is because WE ARE A CHRISTIAN NATION, no matter what Preident Obama says.

Oh, by the way, the Cadet's name is Page, and he is being medically disqualified because of clinical depression and anxiety. He (Page the whiner) said his condition has gotten worse since his father killed himself last year. Page plans of living with his grandparents - probably drawing social security disability for emotional problems. I for one am glad as hell he did not get into a position to lead this country's best.

Alan Simpson said What!?!

This is the best summation of the attitude of our liberal politicians that I've read....and lively language, as Ms Patty Myers is pissed off, but she is also very correct..  On second thought, I don't think pissed really covers it!!!!   Even though Alan Simpson is a long term Republican and from a very conversative state, what he said is inexcusable and more apt from some Dem.  

Alan Simpson, the Senator from Wyoming, Co-Chair of Obama's deficit commission, in effect calls senior citizens the Greediest Generation as he compared "Social Security " to a Milk Cow with 310 million teats. Here's a response in a letter from Ms. Myers, who is from the Great State of Montana:

 "Hey Alan, let's get a few things straight!!!!!

1. As a career politician, you have been on the public dole (teat) for FIFTY YEARS.

2. I have been paying Social Security taxes for 48 YEARS (since I was 15 years old. I am now 63).

3. My Social Security payments, and those of millions of other Americans, were safely tucked away in an interest bearing account for decades until you political pukes decided to raid the account and give OUR money to a bunch of zero losers in return for votes, thus bankrupting the system and turning Social Security into a Ponzi scheme that would make Bernie Madoff proud.

 4. Recently, just like Lucy & Charlie Brown, you and "your ilk" pulled the proverbial football away from millions of American seniors nearing retirement and moved the goalposts for full retirement from age 65 to age, 67. NOW, you and your "shill commission" is proposing to move the goalposts YET AGAIN.

5. I, and millions of other Americans, have been paying into Medicare from Day One, and now "you morons" propose to change the rules of the game. Why? Because "you idiots" mismanaged other parts of the economy to such an extent that you need to steal our money from Medicare to pay the bills.

6. I, and millions of other Americans, have been paying income taxes our entire lives, and now you propose to increase our taxes yet again. Why? Because you "incompetent bastards" spent our money so profligately that you just kept on spending even after you ran out of money. Now, you come to the American taxpayers and say you need more to pay off YOUR debt. To add insult to injury, you label us "greedy" for calling "bullshit" to your incompetence.

Well, Captain Bullshit, I have a few questions for YOU:

1. How much money have you earned from the American taxpayers during your pathetic 50-year political career?

2. At what age did you retire from your pathetic political career, and how much are you receiving in annual retirement benefits from the American taxpayers?

3. How much do you pay for YOUR government provided health insurance?

4. What cuts in YOUR retirement and healthcare benefits are you proposing in your disgusting deficit reduction proposal, or as usual, have you exempted yourself and your political cronies?

It is you, Captain Bullshit, and your political co-conspirators called Congress who are the "greedy" ones. It is you and your fellow nutcase thieves who have bankrupted America and stolen the American dream from millions of loyal, patriotic taxpayers.

And for what? Votes and your job and retirement security at our expense, you lunk headed, leech. That's right, sir. You and yours have bankrupted America for the sole purpose of advancing your pathetic, political careers. You know it, we know it, and you know that we know it. And you can take that to the bank, you miserable son of a bitch. NO, I did not stutter.
 
Calling Social Security benefits "entitlements"……WHAT AN INSULT !!!!  We have been paying in to the SS system 45 years…it's my money…give it back to me the way the system was designed or give me all my "forced contributions": back and stop patting yourself on the back like you are being generous to be dolling out these monthly checks."

If you like the way things are in America delete this.  If you read the whole thing, you probably agree with this and if so then pass it on.
