Or at least that was the impression this headline from The Hill wanted us to believe, “Signs Of Turning Tide On Economy Lift Democrats, Obama’s Hopes.” Oh, Happy Day! Woohoo! The tide has turned, the economy is recovering, people are going back to work, Obama has parted the waters and slowed their rising, oh Hallelujah… [...]

Yes, now that Barney Frank has decided not to run for re-election, he has decided to actually do the work of the people. No, seriously – he is. But it took him saying he was leaving to do it, and this is a BIG issue. And that would be Obamacare. Specifically, the Independent Payment Advisory [...]

One would have to be living under a rock to not be aware of the struggles going on in Washington, SC, over the debt ceiling and the budget. Jay Leno used the following video to sum up the bickering on Capitol Hill: Uh, yeah. That sounds about right.

That would be the Obama Administration response to the economic crisis in which we find ourselves. Oh, wait – I’m sorry, I meant to say the “bump in the road” we are enduring. Pay no attention to the rising unemployment numbers, the falling number of jobs created, or the continuing decline of housing market. I [...]

What did we miss in the news? Well, a bunch of things, actually. And perhaps this is why this whole ginned up “civility” discussion has been the primary focus of the talking heads. I hasten to add, the stories of the six victims in Tucson, Judge John Roll, Christina Taylor Green, Giffords Aide Gabe Zimmerman, [...]

The joy of the season eludes many in dire economic straits. NY Times columnist Bob Herbert points out as much is his latest piece The Data and the Reality. Lamenting “data zealots” who use impressive holiday sales figures as evidence of an economic turnaround, Herbert stresses the vital need to focus instead on those being [...]

With the New Year only days away, you can smell the change is in the air. Or, is that just more PR? All natural, but the process Let the change begin with snack foods. Well maybe not. Apparently we consumers are ‘howling’ for natural. Or at least the absence of artificial – as in additives, [...]

As the fallout from WikiLeaks continues, as Congress battles over our taxes for 2011, and as Hillary Clinton once again asserts she is done with public service after this current stint, I wanted to bring you a little good news today, something that is just cool, highlighting the ingenuity of the human mind and spirit, [...]

“60 Minutes” dropped a bombshell on their 10/24 broadcast regarding the unemployment numbers in this country. We have been hearing for some time that the figure stands at 9.6%. Turns out, that is a big crock of hooey (and h/t to Jammie Wearing Fool for highlighting this report). Yes, even though the 9.6% is a [...]

Esteemed Director of the UVA Center for Politics, Larry Sabato, is making some major predictions for the upcoming elections. Now, many of us are pretty sure how things are going to go, but Sabato is using some pretty good numbers to make his predictions sixty days out. Oh, yes, Republicans will take some seats, but [...]

/ Bumped Up / UPDATE: Two of them, actually. Since I am in my hometown after having seen my orthopaedist, and have to get something from my mom’s house (now my brother’s house), I have this on the jobs front. This came in on Friday, to add to the high Unemployment filings for the last [...]

One would be hard pressed these days to not know that many people in this country are struggling. New Unemployment claims continue to be over 400,000 weekly, and unemployment benefits have been extended to 99 weeks (yes, almost 2 years). The DOW continues to hover around 10,000. Home foreclosures are skyrocketing. People are struggling, they [...]

You may recall that there was quite the upset in SC during the recent primaries in which an unemployed man who did no campaigning, had no real policy platform, had no campaign website, and had no campaign funds, beat out his competitor, an elected official. By a lot, I might add. Greene won with 60% [...]

The release of the Unemployment Report on Friday is very much consistent with an economy that is undergoing real structural changes and adjusting to the realities of lessened credit and limited growth. As much as some may like to spin it one way or another, those realities are the simple and straightforward ‘sense on cents’ [...]

In the debate over April’s 290,000 jobs added VS April’s increase in the unemployment rate to 9.9 percent (which some claim is really 17.1 percent), this graph seems to best capture my sense of where we are at. Our ‘Great Recession’ is the dark blue line. From Economix: Source: Bureau of Labor Statistics Horizontal axis [...]
