The tl;dr version is that the number of jobs created last month was a fraction of what it's been for every month prior, most of the jobs that were created were part time, unemployment has gone up, long-term unemployment (no work for 20-something weeks or more) is up, confidence and long-term outlook is down, and Obama made his bed and has to lie in it now. The stock market dropped to the point that it undid all the progress it had made this year. Article
honestly @The Member Formerly Known As Baya Rae 4900 knows exactly what this means but he won't tell us because he's part of the conspiracy. Obama is the last man fighitng against the corporate interests that wish to enslave us.
Oh, you want me to tell you? Well, basically, it means that government efforts to "stimulate" the economy have amounted to nothing. (Except it has made the USA even more indebted.) Probably because the government programs have all revolved around temporary fixes that (at best) produce things nobody wants to (or can, due to cost) buy and because it keeps printing money to pay for these things which encourage people to invest in assets (to safeguard their money's worth) instead of entrepreneurs and their own businesses. If Obama had cut government down to size as soon as he entered office we'd probably not be in a global recession. Right now it's a race to the bottom among the world's so-called superpowers. Summary: The USA fought the market and the market won. Nihil novi sub sole.
People will re-elect Obama because he promises to save the Economy!!!! You know, like he said the last time he got elected.
I agree. Obama 2012! But that's only because I hate the USA and wish for it and its citizens to suffer tremendously.
But Obama is trying to get his hand in Australia. he should not have been allowed to make any landing here. Also make sure to destroy any KONY 2012 posters you see, that political bullshit does not belong here, also feel satisfied knowing that a fucking idiot paid money for those posters.
KONY 2012 is just the new method of populizing invasion of another country. Don't have a president going on camera to explain why America should go to war, just fund a produced video that is faux grassroots activism that appears to have originated from the people. it also appeals to faggots who want to feel like they are making the world a better place, without having to get off their fat fucking ass.
You mean propaganda? of course. But this is an engineered viral video the whitehouses response to OWS and it does two things it needs. 1. Pull attention away from OWS 2. Restore dumb faggots who used to support OWS belief in democracy by believing that the actions of the US going to war in Uganda has proven that the people made the government do it (when in actual fact it's the other way around)
Yeah, they've been doing that since at least WW2. I'd like to point out that democracies must show that wars they start are the will of the people in order to justify it to their constituents. That's why non-democratic propaganda pales in comparison to democratic propaganda. They're just so much more experienced than everybody else at it.
