Not to be picky Mr. Dogood but being the number geek I am over 500,000 jobs lost per month is a but higher than a “couple hundred thousand”.

Just as the latest across the board cut of 4% that was wielded at the end of August should NEVER be termed a “mid-year” budget cut. That it happened within 2 months of the governor’s signature indicates an unconstitutional numbers game being played in Columbia.

All the while every singhle egomaniacal politico on this site buries their heads in the sand….

Well, the feds and other economist were only A YEAR LATE in realizing that were in a recession (which most average American’s already knew about, wasy before “the experts” caught on), so bascially he is probably just a year off in this as well. Look, we are only losing jobs a couple hundred thousand a month now – note jobs continue to be lost, that is lost not gained – that is a good sign the recession is over right? right? right?

Benanke, comb your stache and have another smoke of Peyote why don’t ya! You said before we weren’t in a recession when we actually were (for and F-ing year). Now that you say the recession is “likely over” means jack squat about in my book about the likelihood of it being over.

Hmmm… Is the recession over because the depression is about to begin?

Wait a minute people, why Ben’s one of us…the boys from South Carolina, I mean knowing that, how can you question his honesty, his truthfulness, his personal integrity, why I mean this guy personifies politician….er, ass-kissing mouthpiece, er well you know what I mean. So everybody, empty those savings accounts, go shopping and vacation anywhere but Orlando, Phoenix and Las Vegas (Barack wouldn’t approve). Go ahead since the mouthpiece for hopey changey said so and as ya’ll know its all butterfly’s and rainbows.

I’ll believe it’s “over” when average unemployment drops back to, say, half of what it is currently. Just ’cause it’s “over” for big banks, and the Fed, it’s still crushing everyone else.

You guys are way too negative! Obama has saved us from the brink! Now let’s fix health care and then immigration once and for all!

Seize the day!

Let’s make hope and change real!

We are the ones we’ve been waiting for!

Whew ! That’s a relief. Now I can rest easy. So all our bills are paid, everyone is employed, we have a balanced budget. We’re completely out of the woods ?

Let me bend over and grab my ankles and prepare for what comes next.
