I'm not liking the following paragraph - Backwards Typist

I can only guess what it means but, in my mind, it doesn't  mean good news.


.


"The government has been driving the improvements we've seen in unemployment so far, so as soon as it stops spending, we'll be back to where we were before," Roberts said.


As census jobs and the stimulus continue to fade, Roberts said jobless claims will increase.

Same here... guess its telling us we are back where - we started.. scary. nm

Recognize this for what it is... - a lie and a pitch based on the lie.

First, they're trying to damp down the anger of the voters that's coming in November by lowering expectations. Never mind that these expectations were based on statements they made LAST time.

Second, they're implying that the stimulus created jobs in the first place, which is a bald-faced, demonstrable lie. The few jobs created have cost about $300,000 apiece.

Third, based on that lie, they're probably going to ask for more stimulus.

No one in Washington puts out a statement that doesn't have an agenda behind it. Always look for the agenda and then you'll understand the statement better.

Punishing The JoblessJul 11, 2010
Op-Ed Columnist Punishing the Jobless By PAUL KRUGMAN There was a time when everyone took it for granted that unemployment insurance, which normally terminates after 26 weeks, would be extended in times of persistent joblessness. It was, most people agreed, the decent thing to do.But that was then. Today, American workers face the worst job market since the Great Depression, with five job seekers for every job opening, with the average spell of unemployment now at 35 weeks. Yet the Senate we ...

Jobless Rate Looks Nice--until You Look Under The HoodOct 07, 2012
I hope this wasn’t posted before. If it was, sorry. I don’t like to duplicate other posts. Democrats seized on the Labor Department’s report Friday that the unemployment rate in September fell to 7.8 percent, dropping below 8 percent for the first time in 44 months. So surprising was the decline that it set off speculation among some conservatives about a cooked-booked October surprise. That’s not remotely likely as playing with the numbers to influence the election wou ...

Big Jump Seen In Health Costs For Employees Oct 14, 2009
