Explain again. I must be missing something basic.

First of all, the stock market is fixed. There's no way with the way this economy was going that the market has been going up since 2009.

"since 2009."


It is truly amazing to see the tin-foil hatted republonazis spew the same garbage time after time...Blaming Obama for every conceivable ill this country suffers...as if George Bush had never existed...

Pj is thinking much more clearly these days and deserves credit for his comments...The rest...OY!

The willingness to consume the reporting of the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, or Washington Post, which convey how policy and economics interact daily.


Something people don't realize is that once a person's unemployment benefits run out, they are no longer counted in the unemployment numbers.

Also, I won an appeal to provide me with unemployment benefits. Then I had to appeal again three months later to continue getting benefits. I'm not exactly sure why. My guess it's a way to get people off the unemployment rolls. Kind of like insurance companies denying all claims figuring most people won't follow up.

Probably the biggest reason people don't realize this is because it's not true. At all.

In the US, an adult is counted as unemployed if they do not have a job, have actively looked for work in the prior 4 weeks, and are currently available for work. It has nothing to do with whether their UI ran out.

No insurance company does this. As evidence, I submit your inability to identify a single insurer that denies all claims, an inability you will now demonstrate.

You don't know what you're talking about.
Well, I feel so relieved, for the all knowing Chilcoot has once again given us mere mortals the rose colored glasses view that only he sees and believes. Keep on playing the fiddle Chilcoot.... Talk about obtuse!
For the constant slamming of Chilcoot, drm has earned yet another A-Hole of the Month award...Congrats!
easter- I am amazed that you would share your lifetime achievement award with me. With me it is only temporary, while for you it is forever.
"The next time someone tells you that Obama is destroying the economy, remind them that the stock market and corporate profit are at all-time highs.

When they tell you that this hasn't helped them any, remind them they've just admitted Trickle-Down Economics DOESN'T WORK.

Boom."
