When Good News Is Bad News

The latest state jobs report showed that Colorado unemployment dropped to 8.3 percent, which is supposedly good news.  However, the drop is very alarming when you look at the hard data and what it means.  In the August-September timeframe there were at least 5,000 private sector jobs lost.  However, the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment states that only 3,900 jobs were lost.  Why?  Because the government added 1,100 jobs during that period!

Let's be clear here.  The government lives off of the private sector.  In August there were 5,000 private jobs that would fund the engine known as the economy.  In September, they were gone.  But the government, the entity that sucks life out of the economy, added 1,100 new jobs even though the engine was running out of fuel!  In times like these the government should be completely throttled from adding new jobs until the private sector turns around completely.  This is a part of the problem.  Furthermore, these headlines will now be trumpeted as "good news" to the lemmings still dabbling in the stock market.  Colorado will be one of the 25 states they tout as having "dropping unemployment," which they will say is an improvement.  And the crowd goes wild!

These figures prove once again that those in government live in an "insulated" environment.  Greeley Report has information about over-spending at every level of government, from the Federal to the city level.  They don't get it.  They can do better.  But the headlines are good, so the spending spree continues.  Issues like Proposition 103 are on the ballot asking for more.  Let's say no again.  We are in trouble.

Okay Dennis,
More patriotism, i.e. nationalism, i.e. Nazism is the way to go.
More military, i.e. broken property and murdered humans, is the way to go.
How many more deaths till we arrive at utopia?
You are not a right wing nut; you are the other side of the welfare nut. You are both leftist and utopist.
The only people who want war are those that are elected, never those that did the electing. We elect you to bring peace, not war. Even Republican voters want peace yet no politician is willing to deliver.

No war welfare, no more war.

Dennis you and your fellow chicken hawks, such as Hannity,Levine,Hewitt and the rest would not know the devil if he was staring at you in the mirror.
Peace out. Thanks for serving as you thought you were serving humanity in the highest form. I don’t think so. We will have to agree to disagree.

Wasn’t the murder of Christ enough?

Bobby J,

I have already told you, but you don't listen. You are too busy mocking me as some kind of "right-wing-nut-job".

...start here, work toward saving your country.

I am neither bragging nor complaining.

I am asking you what the next steps are now that you have realized socialism has been implemented. For so long we have been pretending to be a free republic, now we know better. Everyone understands the fiat scam, rather than just the power elite. Everyone understands the 2 party scam.
We now have mass media via the internet. We have the tools and the knowledge.

Now what?

Bobby J,
Having to ask, "Now what", are you bragging or complaining?

[Bobby J.]

Global fiat currency with zero reserves is here, not on the way.

Welcome to socialism.

Now what?

Look again at the middle east, four years later, and ask how much has Obamanation had a hand in those changes.

This man is no American.
This man for sure is no Lincoln!
And he's no Dr. King; he care nothing for the blacks in this country. What has he done for them?

He came to power in the bowels of an ACORN Trogan horse.

Powerball, you are correct, but remember you and I are paranoid-delusional. None of the things we bring up could ever come to pass.

In the meantime I will be hoarding dry goods, water, silver and ammo. I pray that I am wrong, and that I will never have to make use of these items.

...history doesn't really repeat itself, does it?

The total of U.S. state debt, including pension liabilities, could surpass $4 trillion, with California owing the most and Vermont owing the least, a new analysis says.

The nonprofit State Budget Solutions combined states' major debt and future liabilities, primarily for pensions and employee healthcare, unemployment insurance loans, outstanding bonds and projected fiscal 2011 budget gaps. It found that in total, states are in debt for $4.2 trillion.

The group, which follows state fiscal conditions and advocates for limited spending and taxes, said the deficit calculations that states make "do not offer a full picture of the states' liabilities and can rely on budget gimmicks and accounting games to hide the extent of the deficit."

In Exodus 5, Moses and Aaron meet with the Pharaoh and deliver God's message, "Let my people go". Pharaoh not only refuses but punishes the Israelites by telling his overseers, "Ye shall no more give the people straw to make brick: let them go and gather straw for themselves", but still requiring the same daily output of bricks as before. 
The Israelites complain to Moses and Aaron that they have now made things worse for them, and Moses in turn complains to God that every time he has gone to Pharaoh on behalf of the Israelites, things have gotten worse for them. God replies to Moses that the time will come when Pharaoh himself will actually drive the Israelites out of Egypt

Here too, things will get much worse before things change. One cannot talk truth to insanity. The insane will come back to their senses when their fears see the light of day. Some are not insane, but are only full of greed. That too will not change until they see times trend and decide to cut their losses.
If you believe that government can buy it's way out of the economic crisis it has gotten us into you need to square in your mind the following: If government can by it's way out, why doesn't that same thing work for me? Where does the government get it's money, taxpayers or the printing press? If it's through taxes, how much more money can you donate? If it's created on the printing press, what value does it have for you or for any other country.
Then if you say you cannot pay any more in taxes, can you and everyone else shift to the other side of the ledger and get a government job and who will be left to pay the taxes if everyone is being paid by taxes that are now nonexistent?
In other words, even when the dog catches his tail he is in a bind because then he can't run and has only one vision to face.
This illusion of grander belongs to those who can't answer the question, "Then What", from the writing on the wall.
