34,000 jobs created in May !!!

[SteamWake]

Putting the numbers aside its pretty simple.

The majority of jobs 'created' are in the goverment sector paid for with tax dollars.

The minority of jobs created are in the private sector whom pay the salarys of the afore mentione goverment sector jobs.

Now does that sound like a sustainable model?

It appears that the market has come to a similar conclusion.

Turns out most of those jobs were given to people not to run against Obama friends in primary races



As an aside, I need to rant about the #$@%$# census. They spend money to send me 2 warnings that the form is coming—then send no form. The census workers didn't manage to be at home when we were until the 3d try. I asked the guy, and he said some places didn't get forms on purpose. WTF.

Aside from that, the real rant—why do we need ANY census workers? The US Federal government already knows how many people there are. Ask the f**king IRS. Any household that doesn't fill out a tax form frankly doesn't matter. No, this doesn't disenfranchise the poor since the poor fill out income tax form and get "refunds" for taxes they never paid (otherwise known as "a handout"). Anyone too lazy to fill out a 1040EZ can't fill out a census form

Oh good I got the form, filled out the number of pepole and sent it in.

Maybe I will avoid some census worker knocking on my door. God forbid one shows up with one of those 'community survey' forms.. I may just roll it up and shove it up his secondary orifice.

"how many toilets" ... for gods sake.

Many republicans followed Bush to hell.

seems the Dems are making the same mistake with Obama.

Shame they learned nothing over the past decade

I had them twice at my door.. so far

Actually these were nice, polite people, with a crappy ass job.
I was informed that, if I don't want to give certain information (name and birth dates, as example) I can refuse to answer, but they also informed me, should I elect to not answer certain question they will show up again.. heh

They were actually so nice, that I felt compelled to offer them a soda ( both times the temperature was pretty high) or snack for the road.

Maybe I was just lucky, but both them where knowledgeable and well educated about what their job is, and what they are allowed to do. They did not press for information, nor did the grill me over a fire or had a goat lick my soles.

Lesson 1 of making money in the stock market: If you ever hear the phrase "Today, the market went up(down) because..." be very wary of taking advice from that person.
