Some difference from 2008

[Pine Mt Beagles]

In 2008,America was loosing about 650,000 jobs A month,,so there is really no comparison .

Jobs,,

While Republicans,brag about being the Party of,Small Government,For Small Business,The Facts Paint a Very Different Picture.
Republicans cannot and will not Govern.If Republicans ,had not said no to the American people for the last -7- years the economy would be even better.

It seems that President Obama is much better at shrinking the size of Government
Than Republicans.
The public sector has declined significantly since Mr. Obama took office (down 668,000 jobs). These job losses have mostly been at the state and local level, but more recently at the Federal level. This has been a significant drag on overall employment.

The Obama Economy Sets A New Record: 63rd Consecutive Month of Private Sector Job Growth

May marks a new record for President Obama’s private sector job growth record, with the private sector adding 12.6 million jobs over 63 straight months of job growth. The Department of Labor announced Friday morning that the economy added 280,000 jobs. With businesses adding 262,000 jobs, this represents the 63rd consecutive month of private sector job growth.

Jason Furman, Chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers, broke down the employment situation in May:

The private sector has added 12.6 million jobs over 63 straight months of job growth, extending the longest streak on record. Today we learned that private-sector employment rose by 262,000 in May. Our businesses created more than 200,000 jobs in fourteen of the past fifteen months—the first time that has happened since 1995. On the whole, our economy has added 3.1 million new jobs over the past twelve months, just off the fifteen-year high achieved in February.


Other key points in Furman’s report were:
“1. Manufacturing employment is up strongly as compared with the previous business cycle, while construction employment still has not recovered.
” 2. “More highly educated Americans participate more in the labor force at all ages, and, compared with less educated workers, their participation does not drop off until much older ages.
” 3. “The distribution of job growth across industries in May was highly consistent with the pattern observed over the past year.
” 4. “The majority of industries experienced stronger job growth in May than they have on average over the past year.”

Democratic House Leader Nancy Pelosi remarked in a statement that she was pleased with the longest uninterrupted stretch of private sector job growth, but the “Republicans’ constant culture of crisis continues to cast a shadow over our economy and the future of hard-working families.”

Pelosi urged Republicans to get to work, especially noting that the Highway and Transit Trust fund will be expiring in the middle of summer construction season but Republicans still have no plans to act and are endangering 700,000 jobs across the country, “With only 12 legislative days remaining before the Export-Import Bank’s charter expires, Republicans still refuse to reauthorize the bank that supports thousands of American businesses and hundreds of thousands of American jobs. Time is also swiftly running out before the Highway and Transit Trust fund expires in the middle of the summer construction season, but Republicans still have no plan to act – endangering thousands of vital construction projects and nearly 700,000 jobs across the country.”

Jason Furman summed it up with a statement making the case for raising the minimum wage and getting rid of the sequester, among other administration pushes::

The economy added 280,000 jobs in May—the strongest month of the year so far—as wages continued to rise and the participation rate ticked upward. We have now added 5.6 million jobs over the past two years, the best two-year job growth since 2000. Although the job market has made considerable progress throughout this recovery, challenges remain for our economy and there is more work to do. The President is committed to extending the positive underlying trends through a comprehensive agenda to boost employment and wages for the middle class, including opening new markets for U.S. goods and services through expanded trade, increasing investments in infrastructure, providing relief from the sequester, and raising the minimum wage.
President Obama, the alleged “socialist” president, has presided over the longest uninterrupted stretch of private sector job growth on record. Private sector.

Meanwhile, back in Congress, Republicans can’t even extend or pass the most basic of legislation let alone take care of the people with any attempt to create decent jobs.

ONE BIG LIE PMB. You see it all comes back to how the media covers each president. Obama has created zero jobs, in fact less people working now then when he took office. The U.S. labor participation rate is the lowest since Jimmy Carter in 1978. Just had a layoff here at this plant, less workers here now than at anytime since I started here 28 years ago. You have been on the tax payer train so long you have no concept of reality. It's all in how the numbers are reported but if you dig into them you just can't hide the truth. There is a difference than 2008, it's much worse!!!

Wtf !

[cris axtell/coal hill ken]

Obobo's state of the union address was all one big deceptive lie. Even liberal MSN had an article with the facts.

[Rabbithoundjb]

Where are all those idiots posting how good Obama was going to be on here in 2008. POOF, under a rock of shame somewhere. How easily people can be lead around like sheep to the slaughter.

[bluemouse]

well JB at least your getting investment advise. Wonder why he did not advise to invest in Winchester or the other gun companies they seem to be doing well.

[Rabbithoundjb]

Yea right, patch thinks manuf. is going to come back here, maybe one day but no time soon. The voters aren't smart enough to vote for a non globalist. They keep choosing these elite establishment government trool's over and over again. Washington despises Donald Trump and Ted Cruz that should translate into the working people being in love with them but here we have Hillary, Bernie, Jeb, Rubio, Christy all getting some support. The voters could stop this anytime but they choose to let DC and the media tell them who to vote for. Course it could be that society has just become that dumb that they really can't figure out what's best for them, the country and future generations.

[bluemouse]

Well Jb he's partly right the USA is manufacturing more pot than ever. Maybe when he figures out buying a large T-shirt from china comes in a small size it will hit him between the eyes.

[S.R.Patch]

LOL, you boys have been bitter ever since W drove us into the ditch.

I'm not sure cruz has paid back his last loan for his political endeavor but Trump isn't going to give him his American birth certificate, he says for him to go be prime minister of Canada. LOL

I like Trump and he likes the spotlight, maybe not president but a fun reality show. He could do a SOTU address weekly to keep Washington in line...LOL... I could tell Ryan was doing all he could to remain in his seat the other night (lots of lip biting), you know he felt that should be him up there speaking but he has to wait his turn.

mouse, I was speaking to PM in my post, not rabbit. Rabbit is a self-made man so he know the lay-offs won't effect him. I recommended S&W a long time ago, your late to the party if figuring it out just now...lol

ps...if you want a simple way to select investment, ask you kids. start with 5 things... ask them their favorite drink, their favorite food, their favorite cloths, shoe & their favorite gadget. This is where mom's money goes.

[Rabbithoundjb]

First patch I'd like for you to tell us just how Bush drove us into the ditch. Cruz isn't trying to lie to us about where he was born. We all know he had duel citizenship. He didn't apply to college on foreign student aid. I'm guessing we hit a nerve Dave.

Patch just about everyone in this country is self made, good or bad, unless of course you allow someone else to make all of your choices for you. Then I guess you can play the victim.

[bluemouse]

Yeah patch like I will take advise from someone who showed his true colors with hands up don't shoot before the facts came out.

[bluemouse]

And if you are still blaming Bush I will give you your clown badge patch.

[S.R.Patch]

Patch just about everyone in this country is self made, good or bad, unless of course you allow someone else to make all of your choices for you. Then I guess you can play the victim.

This is about the most sensible thing I've heard out of you and why as a conservative, I'm so mad at the republicans. I had to watch Huckabee after the debate to calm down, did Trump and Jeb suddenly grow 6" or were they wearing heals...lol

How Bush drove us into the ditch? just ask any solder, when your on the wall you own it! I listened to them cut the military and say what a mess it was, then we should lead from behind.

I really have to wonder who put you in charge of handing out any badges and what relevance that would hold.

You guys have fun handing out badges and hugging each other, the market coming down and the 500 is getting cheaper. Looking for those 7 yr double baggers...

[bluemouse]

Its because I can spot a clown in a hurry patch. You think bringing up my children makes you look smart, sorry it makes you look like the grade school clown you are.

[S.R.Patch]

Were the kids on the stage last night your children? sorry I didn't realize you were Jeb's daddy...

Bring up your children, what children?

Minnie-Mouse, you've gone daffy... look in the mirror.
