I keep hoping someone besides Obama and the Democrats will win so it'll get better.

so you are unable to comprehend?
Unemployment has become another en lement.
So, how many weeks of unemployment is enough, GGA?
Speaking of Obamanomics...
Here's a prime example of in what liberal tax and spend policies result:
Sen. John Kerry skips town on sails tax
The so-called "evil" rich (from which Obama and his ilk want to tax the living out of) just find ways to shelter their money.
Liberal Democrat John Kerry is depriving the Massachussets tax coffers of $500,000 through his little -- probably legal -- scheme.
Obama scares so many it's hilarious...yet when the town dolt who could barely grasp the English language was in place for 8 years...they cheered...how sad the country has become...when an educated President is in power...and reaches out to the other side to fix things...what do they do...say "NO" to every suggestion he has...way to go guys...that's one of a strategy..
An smart president wouldn't push for a oil drilling moratorium -- against the educated advisers' advice -- that will put 20,000 people out of work and solve nothing.
There's a difference between educated and smart.
So you want to continue a process...in which the industry has absolutely no ing clue how to fix if and when they'll up...that's smart how...
That's true...Bush was neither...
It appears fixed.
Plus, Obama's moratorium affect rigs that were in no danger of experiencing a similar problem because they're not deep-water rigs ... and, it failed to include other deep water rigs that could potential have similar blow-outs.
All he's managed to do is run off and industry that employed tens of thousands of Americans.
That's neither smart nor educated.
It's funny how you see what you want to see...do you realize how much damage that well that "appears fixed" has caused and will continue to cause for years...that accident brought to light how little advancement in clean up technology that industry has made...
Damage that could have been mitigated if the Obama administration had taken some very fundamental steps at the outset of the spill.
But, if the IXTOC I spill of the 70's is any lesson, the Gulf Coast will recover more quickly than any of the more dire predictions.
I doubt the effects of the spill will outlast the effects of the unemployment being caused by the moratorium.
Never waste a crisis.
It's as if the right doesn't care about anything if it's not directly affecting them...I have a job...no need to extend jobless benefits...I don't live near the gulf...keep on drilling...if something happens...it's okay...I don't live there...
Eventually you run out of people that are able to continue supporting jobless benefits. Then what?
Lived there more than half my life still own property there.
Unemployment on the Gulf Coast is a bigger blight inducer than an oil spill, even one of this magnitude.
the deficit that increased because the dems refuse to find a way to pay-go (remember their pledge in 06?) for the jobless welfare affects everyone, including me and my children and grandchildren.
Really...that's why we're in such a huge deficit...it has nothing to do with the fact that Bush took a massive surplus and turned it into a huge deficit...it's because of the Democrats...really....REALLY...
but you just said their were no jobs..now you're against unemployment benefits? 10 minutes ago you were explaining to me that the unemployment extension was proof there were no jobs...![]()
Ok, I liked the fact-based analysis that pointed out each dollar spent on gov earns us 40 to 70 cents. (Though I'm no economist, and not sure if the Defense Budget is the best place to use as a comparison.)
However, one question: I thought there was no way to determine how many jobs were created? How did they get a specific number?
I would say 2 months should be the limit. What's the limit set to?
how exactly did bush spend that surplus. also you are talking about the projected budget surplus right?
do you really think you got me on that one troll? why didn't the dems use the left over money from the stimulus? why didn't they find a way to pay for this? why have all of the dems bills be unable to lower the unemployment? why are we out of a recession and still need unemployment welfare?
they definitely have no way to find out how many were saved, but they do. Has Barry created more jobs in the past two years, than have been lost(taking out govt. jobs)?
20,000 people work on 33 wells?
I call bull .
http://online.wsj.com/article/BT-CO-...23-707410.htmlHOUSTON (Dow Jones)--Schlumberger Ltd. (SLB) said Friday a six-month drilling ban the federal government ordered in the Gulf of Mexico following the Deepwater Horizon oil disaster is unlikely to have a long-term impact in the area.
Speaking to analysts in a conference call, Chief Executive Andrew Gould said the business outlook for the Gulf is still uncertain but it's unlikely the moratorium will "significantly" hurt offshore oil and gas drilling activity, which is a key indicator of oil-field-services demand.
"In deepwater activity elsewhere, we have not seen, nor do we expect to see, any significant delays or program reductions as a result of the U.S. Gulf of Mexico drilling moratorium," Gould said. "In the deepwater Gulf of Mexico, we are not planning for any resumption of drilling activity this year."
Tax cuts and wars.
A tax cut doesn't cost anything.
