WASHINGTON (AP) -- Employers stopped adding jobs in August, an alarming setback for an economy that has struggled to grow and might be at risk of another recession.
It was the weakest jobs report since September 2010. The unemployment rate remained at 9.1 percent.WASHINGTON (AP) -- Employers stopped adding jobs in August, an alarming setback for an economy that has struggled to grow and might be at risk of another recession.

Employers add no net jobs in Aug.; rate unchanged - Yahoo! Finance

Let's hear it libs, how the economy is getting better.....Ha! what a joke....:roll:
Then there is this little ditty.....
That 16% must largely be in these forums from what I see of the posting from liberals, and liberals that are ashamed to admit they are liberals in here...:lol:

Wall Street stocks tumbled on Friday, with major indexes falling 2 percent after data showed U.S. jobs growth ground to a halt in August, adding to worries about the health of the economy.
Nonfarm payrolls generated no new jobs last month as sagging consumer confidence discouraged already skittish U.S. businesses from hiring, keeping pressure on the U.S. Federal Reserve to provide more monetary stimulus to the economy.
Right, and why was it such a bad month? Could it be in large part because the stock markets took a dive as a result of the Republicans' idiotic debt ceiling stunt? Does it surprise you that companies were more hesitant to hire after seeing $4 trillion erased from their books in a single week? You mean dumbass Republican games DO have real world consequences? Shocked!!

What you are seeing is a country slowly dying from Reagan Supply Side economics. In order for capitalism to run well you need demand and since people are up to their ears in debt and the fact that most of the middle class have been shipped far and wide. We have corporate executives who make millions by importing goods and services from abroad.
BAWAHAAAAA! That dog don't hunt anymore pal, especially when we now know that the stunt pulled was Obama trying to increase the amount of taxation after a tentative deal had already been reached...

How do you "create" jobs when people don't have money in their pockets and their jobs have been sent overseas?No, what we are seeing is the failed ideology trying to blame supply side for their own failures which is what liberals always do. It is pure liberal arrogance to claim that the previous group of liberals didn't spend enough. This country wasn't built on the liberal ideology and liberals thus have no one to blame but themselves and we know that will never happen.
I guess retired Republican Senator Chuck Hagel would disagree with you:
"In an interview with the Financial Times, Hagel blasted GOP leadership for their “irresponsible actions” during the debt ceiling debacle, noting that “I think about some of the presidents we’ve had on my side of the aisle — Ronald Reagan, George Bush Sr., go right through them, Eisenhower — they would be stunned.”
“Disgusted” with the debt ceiling negotiations, Hagel called it “an astounding lack of responsible leadership by many in the Republican party, and I say that as a Republican.” “Does anyone not believe what’s happened here the last couple weeks in the market was not a complete, direct result of the lack of confidence that came out of that folly, that embarrassment?”

WTF? Employers did not stop adding jobs in August. The workforce grew by 366,000 and a net gain of 331,000 jobs were added last month.WASHINGTON (AP) -- Employers stopped adding jobs in August, an alarming setback for an economy that has struggled to grow and might be at risk of another recession.

Hey Grim,
Why don't you take a shot at answering my question above?
Again, if people don't have the money to buy stuff, how in the hell do you increase demand and jobs?Ask "your" President. Where is the incentive for business to hire people with this Administration in charge? 2 1/2 years later and you are still blaming someone else refusing to admit that your "hope and change" definition was different than Obama's.

Did you ask a question? Or disguise an ideologically misguided rant in the form of a question with only the use of a question mark at the end?

You say nothing Grim, why not rebut what was written? The pot calling the kettle black.I'm speechless... I've never seen such blind loyalty in my life. Is liberalism a political ideology, or a cult?

Oh well....Hagel said it....Well by God, then we should all think alike, much like the liberal lemmings that fall in line with anyone saying something dumb on their side of the isle...You know what I think of your "Hagel said so" BS? So what!
