Title: History repeating, repeating, repeating,
Post by: Badgersmilk on November 01, 2009, 02:40:17 PM
So.  "We're on the road to recovery now, and are just mapping things out."

Year Unemployment rate
1923-29     3.3
1930         8.9
1931        15.9
1932        23.6
1933        24.9
1934        21.7
1935        20.1
1936        17.0
1937        14.3
1938        19.0
1939        17.2
1940        14.6
1941         9.9
1942         4.7

Detroit Fox 2 news now predicts Michigan states unemployment rates will reach, and remain at 15% throughout 2010.  Mind you, this number only counts people who are eligable for benefits.  If you don't qualify for benefits for any reason, or your benefits have expired, you being unemployed is of no concern.  Michigan isn't even the worst off state in the country either.  When are we going to stop calling this a "recession"?  

CNN said the other day we now average 50 dead soldiers a month in Afgan., and more than that in Iraq.  North Korea, China, Russia, a dozen other countries world wide are building up their military's as fast as they can.  China alone "reports" a 15% increase in total military power gained last year.  How much do you think they don't "report"?

Remember why jobs were being created during the last four years listed above?

Moving prisoners out of Guantanimo Bay into prisons & camps here in the US.  Stalin, and Hitler prefered the names "Re-education Camps", or "Gulag's".

So many Obama comparisons these days...  Better do a little studying on Stalin if you want more information on today's United States "Home of Socialism".

Why can we not have at least ONE source of press / world news that consistantly faces reality, and reports it without bias?  THAT is what I want for Christmas!

  PJTV is kind of limited, but seem to be honest, Fox is the best you will find on TV. In print, I would say WSJ, and surprisingly "Bloomberg Report".

By the way, a month or 2 ago they were saying that Mich. had 24% unemployment

Are they still planning to "bulldoze" sections of Detroit to return it to "nature"?

The Black Muslim groups (another post on MI), may not like that too much,...

I would like to ask them in MI, "How's that UAW membership working for you now?"

I'm shocked, JUST SHOCKED, at you people casting dispersions towards "the great one" (echo:  great one, great one,,,,great one).

I just know all those numbers are made up by the great right wing conspiracy.   I know they are made up numbers because "the great one" hisself (echo: hisself, hisself.......hisself)  promised us that with his economic stimulus package unemployment would never rise above 8%.  THAT EIGHT (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8) percent.

See this chart:  (Ignore the "actual" numbers, they are part of the GRWC)

(http://www.heritage.org/Press/Misc/images/ALC_56_300px_1.jpg)

It's from "the great one's" (echo: great one, great one.....great one) own plan for economic stimulus.   "He" (echo:  he, he.........he) would NEVER lie to us sheeple.
