Back up over half million jobs lost.

Let's hope this is a temporary blip and not a portent of growing unemployment. Looking at my business and the struggles my clients are having I am not optimistic. We are going to have more layoffs and salary reductions this week and next. I just heard a very talented friend who has been out of work for six months is weeks away from total financial ruin. Am praying his job interview next week goes well and he finds work.

I notice Archie has been quiet since we had to suffer through his "let them eat cake" exchange........which is a good thing. Lot of people suffering out there and it doesn't help them to have Obama supporters telling those out of work how great things are going for them while lives are being ruined.

Believe it or not Christina Romer (Messiah's top economist) said the stimulus is running out of steam!!! Steam?!?!? What steam is she talking about? Since the porkulus bill the economy has shed millions of jobs. And their maintaining it has saved or created 600,000 to 1.5 million jobs is a fabrication pure and simple. Even on the administration's website they only claim 30,383 have been created/saved at a cost of $16 billion. That is a cost of $527,000 for every job saved or created. In my business I could create 21 jobs for $527K. Does anyone wonder why I believe government isn't the solution to the problems we have, government is the problem!
