The stimulus is working!

WASHINGTON – With joblessness rising, President Barack Obama said Thursday he was "deeply concerned" about unemployment and conceded that too many families are worried about "whether they will be next" to suffer economically.

In a White House interview with The Associated Press, Obama said that since he took office, "we have successfully stabilized the financial markets," and "started to see some stabilization on housing."

WE have stabilized the markets???? Huh? all you did was cause panic and concern, telling everyone it was a catasrophe waiting to happen! This guy just bets that most people are morons and have no memory.....so far he is right.

What happened to all the shovel ready jobs Obama promised us back in January.

My son in-law, union electrician, is out of work for the first time since he started 15 years ago.

I know of a lot of union people out of work, where non-union folks are keeping their jobs. The non-union companies seem to be able to stay more competitive, not being restricted by union contracts.

I understand JD, but the company he works for is the largest in the state,
and they have no work after just finishing their last job, hence the remark about shovel ready jobs.

Yup! Sure looks like the Stimulus is working with 467,000 more jobs lost last month. Economist were off by as much as 100,000, they predicted 363,000, that brings about 14.7 million people out of work.

Those that are working should start following in a squrriels foot steps as they are already stocking up for hard times down the road. We should be doing the same thing, instead of acorns we should be purchasing extra dry goods and can food. Some will not heed this warning. You don't have to panic and panic buy things, just buy a little extra every week.

If you do not need the extra after the DEPRESSION sets in give it to a food bank, or better yet to a family member in need.

And he will every month until jobs increase.

Even though from the start, it has been predicted that jobs will not start to recoup until at least late-2009.

Once again, Spence Alynski strikes out with his "higher intellect" against the simple folk on the right.
