i responded to a post that appeared to relate to the subject of my own which immediately preceded it. marko, if you meant nothing towards me, cool. i understood otherwise and if i was mistaken, my bad.

on something else in this thread, i thought that debtstar pic was hilarious... but it saddens me every time i see that logo. i really honestly like obama's campaign branding; if only i could have supported even half of the things he stands for it would have been cool

Obama sucks dick as president. The sooner you radical democrats let go of your unrealistic ideals that Obama promised to you and has clearly failed to deliver, the sooner we can start working towards a better America by joining the Vote for Change 2012 campaign.

edit: I'm sure some dumb ass is going to roll into this thread and argue this fact. I'll go ahead and let you know in advance that you are nothing more than a pawn. Attention to YOU: The democrats are NOT trying to help you in any way.

no i don't generally give out vectors (unless, say it's a student group trying to make a t-shirt/poster/etc, but even then i have to watch rules and regs enforced on me by the trademark licensing office)

but

there will be a high-res desktop version of that particular cartoon in the future (after the art is reconfigured to fit more of a landscape scale), as well as a relaunch of http://wolfpackcartoons.com before football season starts

i actually doodled a little gamecock today in preparation

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/08/07/unemployment-rate-dips-percent-july-better-expected-showing/

Quote :
"The actual percentage of Americans who remain unemployed -- including those who have stopped looking for work -- is considerably higher than 9.4 percent and surpassed 10 percent months ago. By one measure, the unemployment rate is really 10.7 percent.

When you count those forced to settle for part-time work, the number is higher still. The 9.4 percent figure represents a very specific measurement of unemployed people that doesn't factor in everybody."


Quote :
"But if laid-off workers who have given up looking for new jobs or have settled for part-time work are included the unemployment rate would have been 16.3 percent in July. That's down from 16.5 percent in June, which was the highest on records dating to 1994 -- but still higher than a few months ago.

Nailing down the actual percentage of unemployed Americans is exceedingly tricky. The Labor Department uses a survey method, like a poll, to gauge unemployment -- not a Census-style head count. The survey tries to determine the number of unemployed as a percentage of the labor force, but the labor force is only defined as those who are looking for work.

So many who are technically out of work are not counted in the unemployment rate. One of the reasons the rate went down in July was because hundreds of thousands of people left the labor force. All told, there were 14.5 million out of work in July. "

It's the one we used last month, and the month before, and the month before that...

There are several unemployment indicators. This is the one always used my the media. It only became insufficient for Fox on the month it showed positive news for Obama. What a coincidence!

I'm justifying my statement that the unemployment rate went down.

It (the one we've been following forever) did.

To pull out U# and then use it to make a personal insult ( eyedrb ) is lame.

The number of unemployed rose by 247,000. The labor force normally rises by 120,000 but this month they dumped a few hundred thousand unemployed and discouraged people (I guess they're livin in a VAN down by the RIVER).

Ok boone, I apologize for the insult. Technically you are correct. I wont pretend otherwise and just apologize.

However, from your article. On why the RATE is down.

"mainly because so many people dropped out of the hunt for work, ceasing to list themselves as unemployed."

Awesome, so they just gave up, the RATE went down, BUT this is a good sign? Kinda some fuzzy logic dont ya think? Is there MORE unemployed the last month than the previous? yes.

I didn't buy that bullshit when the Democrats were using it against Bush, and I don't buy it now. If you have stopped looking for work, then you are voluntarily unemployed, and we shouldn't care about it any more than we care about anyone who just up and decides to stop working.

Same with people who are in part time jobs. If you're working and earning wages, you aren't unemployed. You may well be underemployed, and that's a different discussion, but it isn't unemployed and shouldn't be factored into the unemployment stats.

White House declares and end to the War on Terror

Quote :
"John Brennan, Obama's chief counter-terrorism advisor, said Al-Qaeda remains a "persistent and evolving threat" to the United States and is being aggressively targeted by the new administration.

"But describing our efforts as a 'global war' only plays into the warped narrative that Al-Qaeda propagates," Brennan said in comments prepared for delivery to a think tank here."

Quote :
""We can take out all the terrorists we want -- their leadership and their foot soldiers. But if we fail to confront the broader political, economic, and social conditions in which extremists thrive, then there will always be another recruit in the pipeline, another attack coming downstream," he said."

obama is asking his minions to report anyone that talks against his socialized healthcare plan.

"There is a lot of disinformation about health insurance reform out there, spanning from control of personal finances to end of life care. These rumors often travel just below the surface via chain emails or through casual conversation. Since we can’t keep track of all of them here at the White House, we’re asking for your help. If you get an email or see something on the web about health insurance reform that seems fishy, send it to flag@whitehouse.gov."

And the War on Our Money also continues....

Quote :
"Ron Paul: Before the Committee on Financial Services, U.S. House of Representatives, July 21, 2009

The Federal Reserve in collaboration with the giant banks has created the greatest financial crisis the world has ever seen.

The foolish notion that unlimited amounts of money and credit, created out of thin air, can provide sustained economic growth has delivered this crisis to us.

Instead of economic growth and stable prices it has given us a system of government and finance that now threatens the world financial and political institutions.

Real unemployment is now 20% and there has not been any economic growth since the onset of the crisis in the year 2000, according to non-government statistics.

Pyramiding debt and credit expansion, over the past 38 years, has come to an abrupt end – as predicted by free-market economists.

Pursuing the same policy of excessive spending, debt expansion, and monetary inflation, can only compound the problems and prevent the required correction.

Doubling the money supply didn’t work; quadrupling it won’t work either.

The problem of debt must be addressed.

Expanding debt when it was a principal cause of the crisis is foolhardy.

Excessive government and private debt is a consequence of a loose Federal Reserve monetary policy. Once a debt crisis hits, the solution must be paying it off or liquidating it. We are doing neither.

Net US debt is now 372% of GDP. In the crisis of the 1930s it peaked at 301%.

Household debt services requires 14% of the disposable income – an historic high. Between 2000 and 2007 credit debt expanded five times as fast as gross domestic product.

With no restraint on spending, and revenues dropping due to the weak economy, raising taxes will be poison to the economy.

Buying up the bad debt of privileged institutions and dumping worthless assets on the American people is morally wrong and economically futile.

Monetizing government debt, as the Fed is currently doing, is destined to do great harm.

In the past 12 months the national debt has risen over $2.7 trillion. Future entitlement obligations are now reaching $100 trillion. US foreign indebtedness is $6 trillion.

Foreign purchases of US securities in May were $7.4 billion, down from a monthly peak of $95 billion in 2006.

The fact that the Fed had to buy $38.5 billion of government securities last week indicates that it will continue its complicity with Congress to monetize the rapidly expanding deficit. This policy is used to pay for the socialization of America and for the maintenance of an unwise American empire overseas, and to make up for the diminished appetite of foreigners for our debt.

Since the attack on the dollar will continue, I would suggest that the problems we have faced so far are nothing compared to what it will be like when the world, not only rejects our debt, but our dollar as well. That’s when we’ll witness political turmoil which will be to no one’s benefit.
