When economy has created a substantial number of new jobs and there is also an increase in unemployment that indeed is good news. That means that people are feeling optimistic about the economy, about their individual prospects and so have again started looking for jobs.

If economy had lost jobs instead of creating jobs and there had been an increase in unemployment, that would be bad news. But as it is, increase in unemployment is a sign that people are feeling optimistic about the future (that is why they decided to reenter the job market).
Optimistic or just plain desperate?
Oh, I am tired of scrounging for food for the kids and fending off creditors, I think I'll find a job. lmao

Oh, I don't know petros, I am sure it could be easily obtained from internet. I can think of GM for one. But I also remember that only a small portion of these jobs (may be 50 or 60,000) were government jobs, the rest were private sector jobs. So the job increase is not due to stimulus, it is a real increase in jobs.
Take a look at employment records for the past 10,000 years and you'll notice that every spring the world's biggest industry goes into ful swing.

Farming.

You need not worry about this so called recession or any other so called econmic crisis until the cupboards are completely bare and we've all lost 15kg.

The real market is the Chicago market.

We are all 9 meals away from complete and utter chaos.

Pay close attention to the price of food as the cost of farm labour skyrockets after the punting of the illegals in the southern states.

Pushing legitimate labour back to the farms is a last ditch effort to save and far more importantly SECURE the last remaing stable maket. Food!

So you expect that because Obama is president that he can fix what Bush did in a few months?

Would things be better under McCain?

What specifically would he have done to rectify decades of over spending?

Oh, the delight in seeing people abusing their mother tongue:

"So you expect that because Obama is president that he can fix what Bush did in a few months?"

I know what you mean, sausage-lover. But if you want any credibility, learn to punctuate and/or get a qualified instructor to teach you sentence structuring.

But I digress. You were indeed correct that it would be difficult to fix what Bush did in a few months. Namely in the few months that DemocRats ran the House and the Senate, after 2006.

Glad you can agree that the previous regime was to blame for the crisis as well as the dumbocrats.

Hmmm... when I think of a few months I think of three maybe four. What about you?

Obama has been in office 16 months...is that a few?

Would things be better under McCain?

We'll never know.

What specifically would he have done to rectify decades of over spending?

We'll never know.

Oh...Obama isn't over spending? :lol:

That was classic Avro.

Seriouly Smack, it's not like McCain is no longer in politics.

What would he do to fix what Bush did.

Does he even have a suggestion?

I never said Obama wasn't over spending.

Try and stop making things up Smack.

I'm not the Senator from AZ. Write him and find out.

Sure he does. Read up on him.

Fair enough.

Obama wanted the job...he knew what he was getting into. He said he could fix it. Thus far he has increased spending and unemployment has gone through the roof.

You voted for McCain, you tell me what he would do, for that matter tell me what the Republicans would do to fix this mess. Or are they just as inept as the Dumbocrats?

Could anyone fix this mess overnight?

This problem goes back quite a ways....way before Bush....way before Reagan...began with Kennedy...the hero of the left.

Hate to say it dude but your country is in a real pickle.

Of course, sausage-lover:

The problem goes back quite a ways...way before Kennedy...way before Roosevelt...way before Lincoln...way before Jefferson.... way before Wahington...began with the psychotic King George, the hero of Canadian Monarchists.

Hate to say it, dude, but the Left is is serious mental pickle.

Ok...he'd create more jobs...just like he said. Fix the economy...just like he said.

Could anyone fix this mess overnight?

No.

But looking at the calendar the date says May 7, 2010.

Quite a long way from January 21, 2009 don't you think?

Yeah I keep hearing that... fall of the empire... our days are numbered...total collapse imminent... martial law... blah blah blah. :lol:

Have a good weekend and think of me Avro!

Yes it is quite a long way but enough to fix decades of over spending and mismanagment?

Think of you?

Sorry but I have a real life to concern myself with.

Oh, didn’t you know? McCain would have balanced the budget by now; he would have given huge tax cuts to everybody. He would have got rid of the unemployment; it would have been less than 1% by now.

He would have eliminated crime completely. He would have solved immigration problem by now. He would have got rid of the national debt, he would have eliminated world hunger, would have captured Osama Ben Laden, defeated Muslim terrorism.

Need I go on?

At least that is how Republicans would have seen the McCain performance until now.

I thought the problem started with the first Democratic president, YJ? And it continued with all the democratic presidents, down to FDR, Truman, Kennedy, Johnson, Carter, Clinton etc? Each Republican president fixed each and every problem facing the nation, only for the Democratic presidents to create them all over again?

When you don't blame Democrats for every evil facing USA in each and every post, something is wrong. King George to blame Surely not. More like King FDR, King Truman etc.

Not to worry, EagleSmack. Come November, Republicans will have 68 Senators, 400 House members, a veto proof majority and will be able to govern by overriding Obama's vetoes. Then all the problems facing the country will disappear within the week.

Republicans always create plenty of jobs. Why Bush alone created millions of jobs, there was virtually no unemployment, no deficit, no debt, no problems of any kind when Bush left office. The unemployment (and all the problems) started the day Obama took office.

looking at the history, doesn't it follow that if McCain had been the president, there would be no unemployment today? Why it would have been practically the Second Coming, the Kingdom of Christ on earth.

SirJosephPorter, in his usual foot-in-the-mouth, typical liberal way opined:

"Oh, didn’t you know? McCain would have balanced the budget by now; he would have given huge tax cuts to everybody. He would have got rid of the unemployment; it would have been less than 1% by now.

He would have eliminated crime completely. He would have solved immigration problem by now. He would have got rid of the national debt, he would have eliminated world hunger, would have captured Osama Ben Laden, defeated Muslim terrorism."

Unfortunately, we'll never know.

However we DO KNOW:

There is no more poverty among African-Americans, because Obama is paying all their expenses, like mortgage, car payments, groceries, kids education and booze and cigarettes.

There is no more black children born out of wedlock, because Obama is President.

Poverty pimp charlatans like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson are out of a job, bevcause there is no more poverty. Well at least, not in black neighbourhoods. So, now we know why that miserable mountebank, Jesse Jackson had tears running down his cheek when Obama was elected.

We DO know that, however Bush increased the deficit and the national debt, Obama - with great aplomb - managed to triple both. And worse.

And we also know that there is no more terrorism; it just man-made-whatever the hell idiocy coming from this administration.

And we also know that anyone named Janet (you know Reno or Napolitano) is uniquely unqualified for any job, other than garbage collector, if even that.

And we also know that no decent person would ever buy a vehicle from Government Motors, after they killed Oldsmobile and Pontiac.

And we also know that instead of defeating terrorism, this administration would like to spend tax-payer money to defend their sorry asses, while persecuting Navy Seals for doing their jobs.

More abominations of this administration on request.
