US Loses 299,000 Jobs in November: Keep Going Obama
Posted by: Delusional Democrat ()
Date: December 04, 2014 04:26PM

Some claim that adding 208,000 jobs in November is a good thing, except when you compare that to 299,000 in seasonally adjusted claims for unemployment. By any math but delusional Democrat math that's a loss of 91,000 jobs. Go figure.

Please don't put facts and logic on here. Libturds don't understand either of them.

30+ months of continuous job growth under Obama.
Stock market more than doubled.
Economy recovering.
Gas just went below $2/gallon in Oklahoma.
Deficits shrinking.
Comprehensive healthcare reform passed.

Republican accomplishments - ZERO!

When you start from zero anything looks like growth.

> Stock market more than doubled.

For the benefit of the 1%. The rest of America's fucked.

> Economy recovering.

Most true economists (that excludes Krugman) don't consider GDP growth under 6% after a recession as growth. Any we're woefully below that.

> Gas just went below $2/gallon in Oklahoma.

That would be despite the Democrats, not because of them. And really you just have the Saudis to thank for that.

> Deficits shrinking.

If you're 500 lbs. and get down to 400 lbs. you're still bloated. Come back and talk when we have a balanced budget.

> Comprehensive healthcare reform passed.

You're even bringing up that debacle? Just lost all credibility.

>

They're not in the White House, yet.

I will address the one item I know something about.

Obama, and more importantly, the Democrats, and more important than that, the "base" Democrats who will ALWAYS vote Democrat regardless of whether they like the policies or not, did everything they could do prevent new drilling, fracking, offshore exploration, and every other initiative to increase petroleum supplies in this country.

Only the Republicans and their pragmatic allies appreciated that both the supply and demand constituencies must be addressed in the energy independence struggle.

Would it be safe to state that the fall in energy costs happened despite the efforts of Obama and the Democrats? I believe so.

Would it be safe to say that the improvement in other aspects of our economy can be directly attributed to lower petroleum costs? Yep.

For a guy who says he knows something about the topic that was assimplistic an analysis as has been attempted. Please, instead of touting your knowledge, give us your credentials on the topic. The fact is the President has supported responsible gas/oil drilling. That has had a wide range of results including the Gulf Oil spill....that never would have occured under an Administration truly anti-oil.

Obama's done mostly squat as far as gas and oil production goes and what he has done has been mostly on the side of limiting it.

A moratorium would. Which was THE biggest thing that he has done to affect oil and gas supply.

In addition to being obviously innumerate, you don't read so well, do you?

From the article you cited:

"The decline in application for unemployment benefits has been matched by a surge in hiring.

Employers have added an average of 228,500 jobs a month this year, putting 2014 on pace to be strongest year for hiring since 1999. That’s up from an average of 194,000 last year. The unemployment rate has fallen to a six-year low of 5.8 percent, down from 7.2 percent just a year ago."

Like the OP, who doesn't understand that the gain of jobs in November is a net gain. People are always losing jobs, that's why there are always claims for unemployment, even in very good times, but you don't subtract that number from the job gains.

Truly you can understand why the Republicans are able to win elections. The OP is their average voter. White and ignorant.

The jobs report is a net report you dumb fuck. That's why during a recession the jobs report shows net losses, ie the economy lost 150k jobs.

Jesus fuckin christ how old are you that you don't even know that? Therefore, when the report which came out today says we gained over 300k jobs in November, that means that we gained a NET of 300k jobs, including jobs that were lossed.

The only reason why we need to gain around 200k jobs per month to keep unemployment stable or going down, is because thats the general population growth per month in the country you dumb twat.

Fuckin die already.

Her her her OBUMMBLER !!!

You really have no fucking clue. I'll try one more time. When the government reports job gains, like they did this morning, that number is not a gross number, such that you would subtract new unemployment claims from it to get the actual job picture, which is what the OP thinks. It's a net number. It's the actual job increase for the month.

The awful thing is that you think you actually know what you're talking about.

And a libnutz.

The only # that counts is total employment - of which this is a portion. No one's claiming anything else about that one specific reported figure, fucknutz.

Now go protest for more government. Butthurt faggot.
