It's Official: The US Created Less Jobs In 2013 Than 2012

Quote from Tsing Tao:

What question of yours did I dodge?

It's a redirect. What I think is irrelevant to what Obama is actually doing (or not doing), criticism of which is part of your OP.

So you can't answer. Ok, noted.

And Obama is not Keynesian. Thank you.

Please show me where I posted that he was. I believe that he is, but I'm not the one who posted it.

You posted that he wasn't Keynesian enough.

Quote from Ricter:

I do blame Obama. He's neither Keynesian nor socialist enough.

Right. And you said "double down" and "failed". So you were battling... nothing, an idea, divorced from reality.

Though folks like Ricter will come up with a creative reason on why you shouldn't.

Quote from Ricter:

Quote from Tsing Tao:

Yes, when a strategy doesn't work, double down.

Just to get it on the record, what do you think Obama should be doing that's more socialist or Keynesian?

Quote from Ricter:

What strategy are you referring to, the sequester?

Quote from Tsing Tao:

No, the strategy of stimulus, unemployment benefits, higher taxation, etc. You know, all that Obama is trying to (or already has) accomplish. Come on, what would you have him do differently? Don't dodge again.

Quote from Ricter:

Beside the point, sequestration is not Keynesian.

Quote from Tsing Tao:

Ole'! Then why did you bring it up?

So what would you have Obama do differently?

And then your subsequent inability to answer anything related to what you would do differently, or where I dodged on your questions, or...well, anything at all relevant except your specialty: To obfuscate.

I'm not "unable" to answer your questions, I'm staying focused on your initial nonsense. You're not calling the dance here, I am.

No, you're the only one dancing. You're doing what you do best - troll. I'll see if Max has time to run a new poll now that AK left.

And now back to the topic.

More Than Half Of December Jobs Added Were Temporary

http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-01-10/more-half-december-jobs-added-were-temporary

Once again, in its sheer panic to tout the quantity, or lack thereof, in the case of the December jobs number, the frenzied media and pundits completely ignored the quality of the jobs gained in the last month of December. Or lack thereof. Because as the simple breakdown below shows, of the 74K jobs gained in December, 55%, or 40K were the worst of the lot when it comes to wages or benefits: temporary jobs.

As for the other job additions? Well, between Temp Help, and the bottom of the barrel paying Retail and Wholesale Trade jobs, the total additions were 111K. Which means all the other, better-paying, job groups saw... a drop of 35K.

In other words, the "recovery" may be lacking in numbers, but at least it is completely lacking in quality. And oh yes: remember - when it is snowing outside, employers only hire temp workers, hence it's the weather's fault.
