Obama to break even on jobs in 2012? Probably!

Quote from cgroupman:

To be fair, are the lack of jobs a result of him being in office? Or GWB?

Congress!

A side note. We, as a nation, have to realize that many, many jobs are simply gone forever. Technology has replaced millions of jobs. Never to come back, never.

No argument here
And, with jobs overseas, with our trade deficit, defended by those like Fox's Stossel, are supposed to give us more money to spend....

As a fan of Stossel, how is he defending this?
So, is it ok to have jobs overseas to save Americans money with the hope they will spend that money on better things here at home?...

1)I'm no economist
2)I just finished my third double bourbon on the rocks
3) Long term I'm inclined to say no, BUT I think we should have to right to choose.
Too bad most Americans routinely choose wrong.

I know, a slight departure here, but I find it interesting. Your thoughts sir?

I know the question was directed at Lucrum...nonetheless, I agree wtih many of the points you've made and I've made these very same points a number of times in various threads. Technology has replaced millions of jobs, in addition to the wage/labor arbitrage, that this country will never be able to compete with. The real labor situation has been softened over the past decade or so with the record amount of public sector hiring (alas that trend is probably slowing or reversing as well)...

My big problem with the current administration is that it's just more bullshit statistical manipulation..absolutely no difference between Bush and that bobblehead labor secretary Elaine Chao (anybody remember her and the Baghdad Bob act?).

The cheerleaders of this kind of garbage are nothing more than partisan hacks who have no interest in moving this country forward...just a whole bunch more of delusional bullshit.

Exactly. There are one of two possibilities here. Either he's really so stupid that he simply cannot grasp what the difference is between the published stats and workforce utilization truth (despite being shown in everything short of a pop-up book about a dozen times now) or he's simply trolling for replies. Either way, he's a tool.
