Also, dreading.
Now, I’m just a stay-at-home dad and liberal arts major whose most elevated exposure to mathematics was a how-database-vendors-will-lie-to-you-with statistics course when I was a grad student* – still, looking at that chart it certainly appears like we’re on schedule to have double digit unemployment throughout 2010. Which is worse than the worst-case scenario that the Democrats were screaming at us as the reason why we had to pass their ‘stimulus’ bill, and why we had to pass it now.
So why are we supposed to trust these people on health care, again?

3 million jobs saved.

Read somewhere today that if you factor in
janis (Diary) Friday, October 2nd at 12:01PM EST (link)all those who just gave up looking for a job, we’d most surely be looking at 17% unemployment instead of just shy of 10%. I suppose we can say that Obama has saved or created at least 9 or 10 jobs for graph-makers?
Not to mention the upward sales in poster board and magic markers for protest signs.
Why is it that
Steph C (Diary) Friday, October 2nd at 12:12PM EST (link)when it comes to things the Dems have no ability to fix with their sociailist policies that 0.1% is modest but when it comes to things like socialized medicine 0.1% is a crisis?
Can somebody ‘plain that to me?

Not the direction I'd hoped it would go ...
acat (Diary) Friday, October 2nd at 2:35PM EST (link).. but I know far too many people out of work to believe it’s going the other way.
I guess those green shoots were just a mirage.

morstar150 (Diary) Friday, October 2nd at 5:37PM EST (link)We have ACORN, unemployment at nearly 10%, deficit at 1.8 trillion, proposals to take over 35% of our GNP in health care, after taking over GM and Chrysler, and the banks, and the financial institutions, after paying off the investment firms that created loan derivitives and corrupt companies “too big to fail,” along with fraudulent mortgage companies backed by the government and giving sweetheart loans to members of Congress, all leading to a quadrupled national debt. Oh and by the way North Korea and Iran are moving toward nuclear missile launches and selling that technology to any rogue that will pay the price and agree to annihilate Isreal. With anti-christian, anti-semetic, anti-capitalistic, anti-american, anti-corporate, anti-wealthy, anti-middle class approach to redistribution of world wealth and give aways to illegal aliens, in school, jobs, and health care, We are surrendering the the ideals of Natural Law that were the basis of this nation and our Constitution in exchage for a elitist progressive agenda that believes that freedom of speech is okay so long as you support the progressive elites.
Anyone else is a Nazi astroturfer, (See Nancy Pelosi) or a potential terrorist clinging to guns and bibles (see Obama campaign) or a potential military terrorist (see Napolitano) or just plain racist (see the entire democratic party including former KKK member Senator Byrd)
I completely understand why someone would be looking for hope and change. I just hope this changes in 2010.
