According to the government’s broadest measure of unemployment, some 17.5 percent are either without a job entirely or underemployed. The so-called U-6 number is at the highest rate since becoming an official labor statistic in 1994.
The number dwarfs the statistic most people pay attention to—the U-3 rate—which most recently showed unemployment at 10.2 percent for October, the highest it has been since June 1983.
The difference is that what is traditionally referred to as the “unemployment rate” only measures those out of work who are still looking for jobs. Discouraged workers who have quit trying to find a job, as well as those working part-time but looking for full-time work or who are otherwise underemployed, count in the U-6 rate.

Democracy Vs. Capitalism (!)
Article One- Through all 50 states- The US Constitution Stands.
What Really Happened:
The US Constitution Changed; The PATRIOT ACT and the mass effect that american corporations have had on washington politic’s. How they stole the country by storm… and the mass effect it has had on the american lifestyles and the economy!
We the people… We will not allow for another event: WTO, Seattle, WA (1999-2000) The Clinton Administration/ Janet Reno.
The democrats set the stage… and tha ball just keeps on rolling (!)
Stop (!) The Federal Resreves and their political exploits on the stock market… how the’re continuing to use the tax payers monies and investing in corporate policies.
The rich keep stealing from society…
“THE OBAMA HEALTH CARE PLAN”
This brings back the expression don’t steal (taxes) and its because the US Federal Government doesn’t like the competition (!)
They like keeping the people blind folded. (D) The Mainstream Media.

Earth and it’s inhabitants need more, not less, CO2.
More CO2 means:
* More Plant Growth
* Plants need less water
* More food per acre
* More robust habitats and ecosystems
CO2 is Earth’s greatest airborne fertilizer. Without it – No Life On Earth!

Global warming or global governance?
- -Interviews of climate scientists and biologists from numerous sources who explain, step by step, why Al Gore and the global warming alarmists are incorrect. In some cases, blatantly so. It also provides evidence that the global warming agenda is being funded with tens of billions of dollars as a mechanism to create global governance. Hear from congressmen, experts and even well-known news broadcasters how global governance puts global institutions that are not accountable to the American people in control of every aspect of our economy. The U.S. government is very close to making this a reality.- -

Alex “Jarhead” Jones got his ass whipped !!!
Jarhead became louder, and louder begging C to step outside. That is when Steve, said, and I quote. “I can’t believe you’re acting like this because he called you a Jarhead.” He spun around and focused his fury on Mystery S. When he said “step outside, and I’ll whip you like my -bee yatch-.” Mystery S said OK, let’s go… and led the way. Jarhead hesitated, then followed. As did Charlie (of The Show with No Name) and Kanya (no name co-host, & play toy) with C, and the driver.
Jarheads next brave move was to announce that he had a gun, and began foraging around in his truck. Steve said, oh, now your gonna shoot me you pussy. Jarhead came from the truck with his hand in his pocket, and slowly advanced towards Steve. Steve retreated 2 or 3 steps, then said, “Then shoot me” and promptly nailed Jarhead with a right hook. They both just stood there for what seemed like a long time, then Steve let many more fly.
Jarhead tried to throw one… that’s right, one punch which grazed Steve’s nose… like flicking at a booger. At this point Iggy came out of the studio. Jarhead saw him, and screamed for him to go get Bob. Iggy ran in to do his masters bidding. Steve hit him a few more times. By now Charlie had convinced C and his friend to get out of there. They got in the car, and split. (with Steve) Bob came running out, to see Jarhead bleeding profusely, and shouting “they jumped me with knives!” Charlie disputed this, so Jarhead spit blood on him…So Charlie, bless him, punched him right in that mason jar of a head. When the cops came, Jarhead was ranting and changing his story with each breath… began to talk of his importance… and his families wealth… and his relatives in the FBI!!!

This means that every 4 out of 5 Americans is paying for it! Include the undocumentd illegal immigrants receiving government subsidized programs like CPS or Antidump services, thats a heavy load for the average 4 out of 5 hard working American to be paying for. Something has to give somewhere. http://www.hardrite.com

I agree. The economy will stay flatline for a good while unless there is some other bubble. Right now I think that bubble is welfare state. Money from the taxpayers going to pay the unemployed and Wallstreet. Every bubble bursts, and taxpayers will eventually see tax hikes. I’m not a taxpayer, so I don’t care.

yer a dumbass unemployment doesnt cost the txpayers why do you think they passed it so easily ,if it werent for unemployment the housing and gdp numbers would look way worse.unemployment is paid for by the employers and even the extensions are derffered from that trust ,so everyone paying there bills with thier unemployment checks is actually helping the economy.thats why congress passed ot so easily they reap the benifits and it cost them nothing and besides that not everyone qualifies for unemployment u have to work at your job for awhile in short it is not a giveaway,people on ui arent your typical welfare cases most have homes and families welfare recipients are different,if it werent for unemployment being paid forclosures would be way higher,basically there is 7.5 million people unemployed ,imagine what that ripple effect would have had they not been able to pay thier living expenses,everyone would loose

I am concerned that with all the information systems out there and coputer optimization that the current unemployed will EVER be able to get work again based on these computer optimization hiring models. no longer is it even possible to get an interview the old fashioned way, by personal introduction and some pleasant conversation. you MUST enter a resume, soc sec number, credit score, you know, things like credit score there is a huuuge movement to ignore our credit scores and bring down that beast. what price freedom?
November 24th, 2009 at 7:56 am
Me and a few of my friends and neighbors have banded together. one card between 7 people now. everyone in the group recognizes that usury is not going to end with this govt without some kind of cooperative action. so me and my neighbors gave up the cards and we have one group card if you will that one of us has for those time when say we need to use credit to say buy supplements online, because supplements in the store are like twice the price , for those situations, and we basically pay the guy with the card a few extra dollars.

The stimulus package did little to help unemployment unless you worked on interstates or highways. It did not bring back manufacturing jobs from overseas. The people in power are going to continue the same old economic pattern (Keynsian Economics). Thus they will not revive this economy and it will slowly die, along with their outdated economic theories.

the republicans i believe are one in the same with corporate america and big business…corporations and big business are entities that employ people…they are not doing that…so i’m led to believe that the republicans do NOT want people to have a job so that they can BLAME the present administration and the democratic congress for high unemployment thus regaining power in the election cycle….basically using it as a political tool at the expense of the american citizen…but you will never hear a republican politician admit to…but its on their mind…GOP is a sorry ass excuse for a political party in this country…they only divide people through race…economics…religion…intimidation…fear…and etc….they have no policy to move the party so they use these tactics and character assassination to gain control…WAKE UP PEOPLE OF THE USA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
