Unemployed....

 

(of a person) without a paid job but available to work.

 

What IS unemployed? Are you included if not signed up at the local employment office? What if your benefits ran out, are you still unemployed?

 

If the Gov. says unemployment is only 5% I always take that as being optimistic on their part. It's likely vastly higher.

Why Madoff has nothing on Obama

 

Obama’s Trickle Down Economics

 

Trickle Down Economics isn’t simply a conservative theory, it’s also a liberal one. The difference is that the liberal version of Trickle Down Economics involves taxing the public to death, and having Congress trickle down some of the money back to the public, in between massive doses of pork and waste. Obama’s Stimulus Plan is a perfect example of Liberal Trickle Down Economics.

 

And what is Obama’s deficit spending spree motivated by? By the liberal theory of Trickle Down Economics which claims that rolling out hundreds of billions for every congressman’s pork project, including protecting endangered mice, encouraging energy efficiency and giving millions in NEA grants will somehow trickle down to the average American and stimulate the economy.

 

If conservative Trickle Down Economics was challenged as delusional and an excuse to stuff the pockets of fatcats, liberal Trickle Down Economics is even worse. If giving business a break improves the odds that the economy will get a boost, expanding government projects only takes more money out of the economy to fund the endless spendathon of Washington D.C. politicians.

 

Corruption just doesn’t get any more corrupt, and dereliction of duty doesn’t get any more criminal, than a government faced with a recession, indulging its worst appetite for pork and graft, and trying to pass the whole thing off as a way to save the economy. Bernie Madoff has nothing on Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi. At least Madoff had a working pyramid scheme going, the Obama government is destroying the one working pyramid scheme the government has, Social Security, carrying out a massive generational theft in order to give kickbacks to every scumbag who put Barry Hussein and the Congress of Corruption into office.

 

It’s a bitter irony that the same twenty-somethings who frantically cheered Obama and worked to stick him into office, can kiss any chance of seeing a penny from social security goodbye. By the time the 4 years of Obama are done, we’ll be lucky if there’s enough left to cover a few Anacin.

I don't trust stats on unemployment, especially coming from the government. If you stopped looking for a job and no longer on their edd system, you are not counted even though your unemployed. What about the underemployed, they work part time or on call but are counted as employed. And I don't get excited like I use to when younger about stock numbers. It can be a bubble and when it crashes then what?

FBI probing Cuomo office's hiring practices

 

Agents have interviewed Gov. Cuomo staffers who are being paid through other agencies

 

Hiring pricey political appointees to work for the Executive Chamber — but paying them through other entities — has allowed Cuomo and prior governors to increase the size of their staffs while escaping criticism for inflating the Executive Chamber budget.

In conclusion, most dems and repubs are pussy grabbing, lying sobs, greedy, narcissistic and manipulating sociopaths that don't really give a shit about their constituents but their own reputation and staying in power.

ANOTHER Mueller investigator comes under scrutiny: Attorney on Russia probe is revealed to have previously represented the Clinton Foundation

 

Jeannie Rhee is a former Justice Department lawyer who joined special counsel Robert Mueller's team

 

She also previously represented the Clinton Foundation

 

As a partner at Wilmer Hale law firm she represented former Obama security advisor Ben Rhodes

 

FBI lawyer Peter Strzok was removed from the probe after the discovery of anti-Trump text messages

 

Rhee joined a legal team that defended the Clinton Foundation from a racketeering lawsuit filed by conservative activist Larry Klayman of Freedom Watch.

 

The scrutiny of Rhee comes after Mueller removed FBI lawyer Peter Strzok from the special counsel's Russia probe after the discovery of anti-Trump text messages he sent in the course of an extramarital affair with another FBI official who is no longer part of the probe.

Yeah but the mainstream media can, will and has covered for the liberals with whose agenda they agree. Liberals didn't give a fuck about liberals harassing women until they needed a weapon to bash Trump with. Libs want Trump gone yesterday but Al Franken gets to leave when he damned well pleases as he denies the victim's memories of the events...? Hey, no skin off my nose. There's a photo of him groping a woman in a flak vest on a USO tour in a combat zone in her sleep but that doesn't bother dems as much as an innocuous inscription in a yearbook from forty years ago.....? The hypocrisy suggests dems are more serious about re-electing Trump in '20 than Mitch McConnell is.

Both do this crap. Don't tell me one is more innocent than the other. Maybe later u will realize this but I use to think dems have the higher ground. Many moons ago, I got heavily involved in helping local politicians become congressman and they turned out to be as crooked as repubs. Look up leland yee. Maybe 7 years ago I was a union steward and guess what the unions lie, manipulate the truth and played favoritism. So these experiences left a bad taste in my mouth. Now I'm more about issues not towing the dems vs gop line.

John, not only gun running, conspiracy, bribary, cahoots w shrimp boy of sf China town, well known tong gangster for many years. Its was also more than assault rifles, also rpgs. Supposedly, he was broke and needed money to pay for his debts and tried to run for mayor. Leland was a strong advocAte of gun control, ironic and pathetic.

People elect officials because of what they say they are for or we think they will espouse our values but reality is the opposite of goes on behind the scenes. All these news about sexual assault and harassment is just the tip of the iceberg. Washington is rotten to the core and this goes for dems and gops. Don't rely on them to take of you, rely on yourself. Don't just listen to CNN or Briethart, they are the tools to communicate and sell their supposed ideals and like I said their main function is to get elected and stay in power. They will sell you out or make deals with lobbyist.

Ummm maybe they do. The key word is fantasize. The other is someone's opinion. Anyone can have an opinion on what women fantasize about. Could be true or wrong or maybe only 10% or 5% or maybe 80% fantasize about being forced to have sex against their will. It's not the real thing and harmless. Maybe they were brought up to believe sex was wrong and fantasizing about rape allows them to have and enjoy guilt free sex.  Maybe the real question is what percentage of men fantasize about women who fantasize about being gang raped?  Who the fuck cares???

Bernie is right. People fantasize about all kinds of fucked up shit. Same reason we have video games where we kill people. Same reason we have web browsers that hide our activity. People who act upon their fantasies often end up in jail or psyc wards. Women are people, and some embrace darker fantasies than others. It just is.

Im honestly curious what you mean. And need to see the last few months, DJI is at 24000 ;)

 

Looks like a different story lately. AI in the crypto currency block chain net as of last week?

 

Just sharing an observation that manufacturing unemployment and the stock market have been trending in a positive trajectory sense 2009, so I'm tired of the WH trotting out the "hit new record!" schtick every day or so as though Trump fixed the economy. BTW, If the economy is setting new records, how the fuck do they justify cutting my future SS and Medicare to give a fat tax break to corporations while we're 20 plus trillion in debt? When I get old are corporations going to pay me back for what they took? Sounds like a recipe for a future disaster to a fiscal conservative like me, but then again I'm not beholding to corporations that put me in office.

People act on their fantasies all the time, it's when they don't have the ability to identify and edit what is inappropriate, that when shit get's sticky. The tough part is, what constitutes "appropriate" is an ever evolving social construct, especially when it comes to sex. There are subcultures and communities that run the sexual gamut, but they are held together by mutual fantasies and consent.

So was Trump out of line then for opining about the groupies that allow pussy grabs by this standard since Bernie wrote about the desire of sexes to fantasize of rape scenario?
