Thats why only 480,000 newly laid off? That is better? Tell that to those laid off and those who have run out of unemployment benefits.
Still don't understand the difference between jobless claims and unemployment do you?
If I wait a month to file for claims, has my job been cut this month?
You fail to realize that initial =/= newly laid off.
Well, I've given up all hope you can debate honestly.
Did I say the number was good? No. But a decline is good news.
Or maybe you think that increasing unemployment is good news and that declining unemployment is bad.
I believe that decreasing unemployment is a good thing. Now you seem to think otherwise.
Welcome to Conservative's world: Where a decline in unemployment is bad news. Fewer people being laid off is BAD. More jobs is BAD.

I believe that conservative would like to see our country fail if it takes this country's president with it.
This country wasn't built on Obama principles therefore he is failing and taking the country with him. Only a naive individual would go over the cliff with someone doing that and call it patriotic.
Being president is not patiotiic to your way of thinking.
You ought to move to texas then until they secede from the union.
Using your logic you must think it is cool when people in airplanes crash into government buildings.

No just some of his policies should fail. I seen a bumper sticker today that said
IMPEACH OBAMA
Well goody, goody for you.:roll:

Nice spin to try and justify that Obama has not failed at creating jobs.
Debate honestly?
You never had any desire to debate honestly or you would be talking in your condescending tone and wouldn't ignore all the facts
including the millions of jobs lost since this President signed a stimulus plan that was supposed to keep unemployment below 8%. We now know that was just another lie
A decline in unemployment normally is good news but make work jobs at taxpayer expense shows that decline at what it really is, a mirage.
Real employment in the private sector is what is good. Show me that is happening.
Meaningful employment is a good thing, make work jobs isn't
Welcome to OC's world of distortion and diversion. The touting of the 20,000 job loss as a victory and lower unemployment ignores the discouraged and those that dropped out of the job market. Somehow that is supposed to be viewed positively.
I live in TX where we have a budget surplus
AUSTIN -- Regardless of the outcome of the 2010 elections, whoever winds up in the governor's office next year will confront a monumental task as lawmakers strive to overcome a projected budget shortfall of at least $10 billion in a struggling economy.

Or have you completely confused the terms "surplus" and "shortfall?"
Huh. House of cards from which you argue.
Well, that's partially because Conservative is kid who's being fully supported by his parents and hasn't earned a dollar in wages in his life. Me, however, would love to see the economy pick up. Then my firm would get more business, my job would be more secure and there will be more money for bonuses and pay raises. Hell, they may even offer subsidized blackberries to everyone in the firm if we get enough business!
People who'd rather watch the economy tank because it brings down Obama don't work for their money. Case in point: Conservative.

Just think how much worse shape Texas would be in without the $17 billion dollars they were awarded under the Stimulus funding. I guess they decided to wait till they've spent the federal stimulus money to secede. :2razz:

Why would TX turn down the money?
I believe the one that is confused is you but that doesn't stop you from being condescending and wrong.
John O’Brien, director of the Legislative Budget Board, which advises legislators on budget matters, recently estimated that the current pace of spending will exceed incoming revenue by $11 billion by the time the 2012 fiscal year begins on Sept. 1, 2011.
Suggest you learn what the word projected means. TX Legislature meets every two years and it is two year budget that they put together.
Why don't you grow up? My grandkids will love hearing that I am a kid just like them.
the number one state in the nation in job creation
five of the top housing markets in the nation
Notice what Obama is doing with the TARP payback. Is that money going to pay down the debt that TARP created? No, Obama is going to use it for more govt. spending.
Right, typical hypocritical position of the Republicans regarding the stimulus money. They whine and moan about it while holding out their hand.
Got it!
In the case of Texas, instead of projecting a $10 billion dollar shortfall, they would be projecting a $27 billion dollar shortfall, or cutting planned projects, services and state jobs.
