Snapshot October 24 2006

Joe, I have found that if you kiss Nursey's feet long enopugh, she will let you look up her dress. She secretly likes that.

I just hope that you are not too disturbed by what you see. :shock:

 

Barry, is she still wearing those shoe mirrors so she can look down your blouse?

 

I have fun pushing Nursey's buttons it is like a perverted version of the family rules.

In this family -

Replies=Love
Kindness=Weakness
Anger=Passion
Silence=Hurt or Fear
IM's=Family Secrets
Insults=Bonding (Sex)
Compliments=Apologies
Hate=Passionate Love

I'll just leave it to figuring out in what aspect our relationship is perverted from the perverted norm.

 

U.S. GDP growth revised higher, to 2.2% rate, in third quarter

Enjoy it while you can because businesses are already beginning to take a defensive stance, to prepair for the impending regulations. They know that before the dems get Hillary in the office they have to crash the economy so they can blame the problems they will cause when they get hold of the executive on Bush. Watch the next two years unfold you will see. It is already happening.

I still haven't figured out how that's supposed to work. Don't you mean 'up his skirt'? But at least it wasn't the tedious repetitive / regurgitated crap that the other two geniuses posted. :?

Never before has a country faced such great financial adversity and came out smelling like such a rose. Looks like the new job numbers are even better now at 4.5 percent. I wounder what the Dems will do to screw this one up?

Jobless Rate Is Lowest Since '01
Unemployment Declines to 4.4%, Fans Inflation Fears

Unemployment fell last month to the lowest level in more than five years, to 4.4 percent -- a drum-tight labor market that shows the economy remains fundamentally strong despite weak spots such as housing and manufacturing.

The Labor Department said employers added 92,000 jobs in October, a modest number. But the department revised earlier estimates to show more payroll growth in August and September, for an average of 156,000 new jobs in each of the past three months. That was enough to drive unemployment down from 4.6 percent in September.

Higher interest rates have slowed economic growth. However, much of the bad news has come from just two sectors: housing and automobile manufacturing. The unemployment report and other data suggest that the problems there haven't spilled over to the broader economy.

Considering that some workers lack the education and skills to be readily employable, economists regard any unemployment rate below 5 percent as striking. "We are beyond full employment," said Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody's Economy.com Inc.

The job market is tightening so much, some worry that it will fan inflation, as employers bid up wages to attract workers. Yesterday's report showed strong wage growth. A report earlier this week showed that productivity growth, which is necessary if companies are to raise pay without boosting prices, is stalling.

Investors reacted negatively yesterday, fearing that profits will suffer as corporations are caught between higher labor costs and weak productivity gains. The Dow Jones industrial average, which climbed above 12,000 for the first time last month, lost 32.50 points yesterday to close at 11,986.04.

Builders, manufacturers and retailers cut thousands of jobs last month, but those losses were more than offset by hiring in education, health care, professional and business services, government and other sectors.

"Both housing and autos are laying off in a significant way," Zandi said. "The two soft spots in the economy are growing softer, but the problems in housing have not bled out into the rest of the job market, at least not yet."

The employment report, the last statistical snapshot of the economy before the midterm elections Tuesday, provided fresh ammunition for Republicans and Democrats heading into their final weekend of campaigning.

The report "just shows how strong and how resilient our economy is," Commerce Secretary Carlos M. Gutierrez said during a visit to Knoxville, Tenn. "President Bush's prosperity agenda has produced a growing economy that has benefited millions of American families."

But many economists also noted that job growth has slowed in each of the past three months, and they predicted that unemployment would climb next year as home-building and auto production remain sluggish.

Democrats highlighted such forecasts as they criticized Bush's handling of the economy. "Job growth was too modest to allay concerns about whether job opportunities will expand in coming months," Sen. Jack Reed of Rhode Island, the ranking Democrat on the congressional Joint Economic Committee, said in a written statement. "Staying the course on the president's policies has failed to deliver greater prosperity and economic security for most families, which is why America needs a new direction."

The prospect of stronger inflationary pressures demolished lingering hopes in the financial markets that the Federal Reserve might soon cut interest rates. Rather, the Labor Department report strengthened analysts' predictions that the Fed will hold rates steady for some time, or perhaps raise them.

The central bank left its benchmark interest rate unchanged last week at 5.25 percent, but policymakers indicated in a statement that they see a risk that the tight labor market might drive up inflation.

When unemployment falls below roughly 5 percent, workers have more leverage to bid up wages and other compensation. That can be inflationary if employers raise prices to cover rising labor costs. If competition keeps prices down, businesses often have to accept smaller profits. If productivity -- output per labor hour -- is rising, both wages and profits can rise without inflation taking off.

Unemployment fell as low as 3.8 percent in 2000, during the technology boom, but inflation remained low because of rapid productivity growth.

In contrast, the Commerce Department said Thursday that productivity did not grow in the third quarter, while labor costs rose. Meanwhile, economic growth slowed sharply to a weak 1.6 percent annual rate, down from 2.6 percent in the second quarter.

For workers, much of the news was good last month.

Average hourly earnings for most employees rose 0.4 percent in October, and were up 3.9 percent from October 2005. These are the wages of production and non-managerial workers, who account for 80 percent of the workforce.

The Labor Department hasn't calculated the inflation rate for October, but since fuel prices continued to fall last month, it is likely that wages rose faster than consumer prices.

Those figures help explain why consumer spending has grown solidly in recent months despite the economic slowdown and softening home prices. "If consumers don't have to worry about their paychecks, they won't worry about spending," said Bill Cheney, chief economist for John Hancock Financial Services Inc.

The unemployment rate fell three months in a row to a low point for the current economic expansion, and the benefits were shared broadly. Unemployment fell in October for women, teenagers, whites, blacks, Latinos and workers at all education levels.

"It's tough to find people," said Roy G. Krause, chief executive of Spherion Corp., a national recruiting and staffing company. Hiring has been particularly strong in the fields of information technology, accounting and finance, he said.

Krause said his firm sees many workers who are confident about finding a job, are demanding higher wages and are receiving multiple job offers. "Employers have to be very cautious about keeping and retaining talent," he said.

 

Get ready to roll your pants legs up cause the predicted bullshit is about to begin.

Democrats are going to stack the seats of congressional panels then push statements out to the media. The media will then run these statements worded in a way as to imply that it is something that it is not.

A good example for instance: The Congressional Budget Office or "CBO" will likely issue a statement that the economy is in dire straights and that it is as a result of tax cuts. This is the message that they need to get out in order to raise taxes. They need to convince the people that lower taxes resulted on a problem that can only be remedied by raising taxes. The statement will be then parroted throughout the media as "Facts that were found by a non-partisan committee"

Just remember I predicted it would happen simply because I know their strategy and their strategy is easy to figure it never changes. Interesting though that the media never seems to notice their being snookered..... or do they? :

Also remember that this flies in the face of logic and history the economy is driven by the GDP and the driven by increased revenue. Its like stoking the fire in a steam engine with tax cuts to get the locomotive moving.

But when they increase taxes and remove that fuel the economy will slow. They actually are astute enough to know this already. So the trick is to spoil the economy before 2008 and use the media to blame it on Bush and tax cuts.

 

Trial Lawyers, raising taxes or simply the threat thereof, raising minimum wage.
just remember how the economy was powerful and steady under extreme stressful circumstance. That is up until the Democrats took over the majority of power.

I think I should point out that while they are still utilizing propaganda and the media to assist in all possible efforts assist terrorist in killing Americans. They have backed off on their threat to stop the president over seas. Why you ask? Because then they know that the catastrophe that would ensue would be a stark contrast from the worst case scenario they can paint now. Even if their media cohorts reversed and did a 360 trying to paint everything coming up roses.

The Clinton machine has given them their orders. Keep up sucking the economy like a bunch of vampires. The Trial Lawyers will be unleashed and any large firms that did not put money in their left hip pocket will be punished severely. The media will make it look like a Robin Hood story all the while blaming the failing economy on Bush. They will give them years of mileage of excuses for Hillary's failings. In the mean time the Iraq hat trick is a lot more complicated.

What they need to do is cut a deal with people who want the U.S. destroyed. The deal will cripple us militarily. Same situation they used with China and Korea and to a smaller extent Iraq before Bush. The trade off will be to make Hillary a personification of Sister Theresa.

 

Democrats were elected in 2006

They took controll in 2006 Democrats

Every failed policy of the mortgage and banking industry was a socilist policy.

What next?

 

WTF I need to pay attention socialists control.

 

Joe... Let's buy an island.

 

Can you imagine how much a new country could prosper amongst a world full of socialists countries? Take an island the size of Japan and re-inhabit it with anyone who wanted a new start in a country whose political infrastructure was built entirely on the guidelines established by the American constitution. The Federal government would have very little power or responsibility mainly just providing for the protection of its citizens constitutional rights and protection from invasion by a foreign enemy. Local State governments would bear the responsibility of providing for all other services and infrastructures. If you did not like the way your local government was doing business you could participate in changing it or simply go to another state that you agree with exists.
