"Wonderful news for the 163,000 who have found employment!"
Read this and then ell all those umemployed how wonderful it is and don't forget to tell them what a great job the President is doing...
(CNSNews.com) - There were 195,000 fewer people employed in the United States in July than in June, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, as the national unemployment rate ticked up from 8.2 percent to 8.3 percent.
Meanwhile, 150,000 people simply dropped out of the labor force during the month and did not seek to find a job.
In June, according to BLS, there had been 142,415,000 people employed in the United States. In July, that dropped to 142,220,000--a decline of 195,000.
This administration is a disaster and the bat sh-t crazy left wing nut jobs think it's "wonderful"...
Pathetic just pathetic!!
I do think it's wonderful that 163,000 folks have found employment......obviously, you do not!
Carry on!
Who cares about any of that? There were processed, breaded and fried chicken patties to be consumed!!!
And waffle fries! I saw a clip on the news last night that showed a line of about 30 or 40 cars winding around the parking lot and blocking the right lane of the highway trying to get in line. Don't any of those people have jobs? Can they use their food stamps at Chick-Fil-A? Or aren't those processed, breaded and fried chicken patties technically considered "food"?
And the fat are getting fatter. Economy can't be too bad for the hogs in line. Eat up.
Mark and Domenico. Your report had some truth about Romney. What gets me is how you do not talk about all the Gafs that have been made by ------ let's say others.
Your title should have been Romney's Gafs and the Economy not doing so good. I will bet you that this numbers will be revised lower this month.
I guess like some other stations you two guys are really Opinion Commentators with a little twist of news.
I see you really owe your success to the Government.
Concern - you've learned the GOP stupidity well. Blame everyone for being on the government payroll - even when you know your posting nothing but lies. But, let's get real, if you can't post lies and nonsense, you've got nothing to say.
You are a pitiable excuse for a human being but, I'm sure you'll just keep posting whatever you read from the far right. The concept of finding out the truth or talking intelligently is far beyond your ability.
Obama/Biden 2012
Concern, I think you better stay on the porch.
What does that even MEAN? You're saying that the NBC reporters owe their success to the government?
Hey, thanks, Layton - I thought it was just me. Don't ALL political reporters owe their success to the government and those seeking to be elected to the government? Even the Fox News and Daily Beast and Breitbart.com types? (Wait, did I just call them "reporters"? My bad.....) Why, I imagine the only thing that'll make Rush Limbaugh happier than President Obama's re-election is when Hillary runs in 2106 and he can drag out those old "Vince Foster smoking gun" rants and use 'em one more time!
Concern Citizen-856329,
you, too, can owe your success to the Government by becoming a police officer, a figherfighter, a school teacher. What's the problem?
The biggest gaffe by far is from the news media (read...NBC) trying to make "much ado about nothing." I just happened onto this website...you've been turned off in our house for months now! Good luck there.
The biggest gaffe BY FAR is the news media --- read NBC --- making much ado about nothing, and showing how low they will stoop to Obama's communist agenda. It just shows how desparate the Obama campaign is. ANYWAY...I just happened onto this website. NBC: You've been turned off in our house for months. Good luck with that. I certainly won't be back.
Gaffes?? That idiot Romney needs to put up or shut up.
Whether you vote or not, it's never going to get any better. Don't look for it, be happy with what you have. Because the owners of this country don't want that. I am talking about the real owners now, the big wealthy business interest that controls things and make all the important decisions. Forget the politicians, their irrelevant. Politicians are put there to give you the idea that you have freedom of choice, you don't! You have no choice. You have owners. They own YOU! They own everything. They own all the important land. They own the important corporations. They long since bought and paid for the senate, congress, the state houses, the city halls, they have the judges in their back pockets and they own all the big media news companies so they control just about all the news and information you get to hear. They got you by the balls. They spend billions of dollars every year lobbying to get what they want. Well you know what they want, more for themselves and less for everyone else. But I'll tell you what they don't want, they don't want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking. They don't want well informed, well educated people capable of critical thinking. They're not interested in that, that doesn't help them. That's against their interest. They don't want people that are smart enough sitting around their table and figure out how bad they are being screwed by a system that threw them overboard 30 years ago. They don't want that. You know what they want? They want obedient workers. People who are just smart enough to run the machines and do the paperwork and just dumb enough to passively accept all these increasingly @!$%#tier jobs with the longer hours and reduced benefits, end longer overtime and the vanishing pensions the minute you go to collect it. And now, their coming for your social security money. They want your retirement money. They want it back, so they can give it to their criminal friends on wall street. And you know something, they will eventually get it. They will get it all from you sooner or later. Because they own this f-ing country. It's a big club and your not in it! You and I are not in the Big Club! By the way, it's the same Big Club they use to beat you over the head with all day long in their media when they tell you what to believe, what to think and what to buy. The table is tilted folks, the game is rigged and nobody seems to notice, nobody seems to care. Good honest hard working people, white collar, blue collar, it does not matter what color shirt you have on, honest hard working people continue to elect these rich @!$%#s who don't give a @!$%# about you. Politicians don't care about you. At all! So continue to vote, and continue being a slave...
