1.9 Million Fewer Americans Have Jobs Today Than When Obama Signed Stimulus
Tuesday, June 14, 2011

(CNSNews.com) – Twenty-eight months after Congress passed President Obama’s signature economic stimulus law, and nearly one year after he declared the summer of 2010 to be “Recovery Summer,” 1.9 million fewer people are employed.

In February 2009, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported that 141.7 million people were employed. By the end of May 2011 – the last month for which data are available – that number had fallen to 139.8 million, a difference of 1.9 million.

While the number of people with jobs has increased slightly from its low point during the recession – 137.9 million in December 2009 – those 1.9 million jobs have been lost despite $800 billion in stimulus spending.

This does not mean that the economy is not creating jobs, but rather that it is not creating jobs fast enough to keep up with a combination of layoffs and people entering the job market for the first time.

In a Washington Post op-ed, former White House chief economist Larry Summers noted that the percentage of the population that has a job has not improved, even though the economy is technically in recovery.

“From the first quarter of 2006 to the first quarter of 2011, the U.S. economy’s growth rate averaged less than 1 percent a year,” Summers wrote. “The fraction of the population working remains almost exactly at its recession trough, and recent reports suggest that growth is slowing.”

The fraction of the population with a job has in fact fallen in the 28 months since Congress passed the stimulus – down from 60.3 percent in February 2009 to 58.4 percent in May 2011.

The economy cannot create jobs fast enough to keep pace with layoffs and recent high school and college graduates seeking employment. If the trend continues, as Summers notes may happen, the economy will suffer further in the future as college graduates delay entry into the labor force, reducing their lifetime productivity.

“Beyond the lack of jobs and incomes, an economy producing below its potential for a prolonged interval sacrifices its future,” argued Summers. “Huge numbers of new college graduates are moving back in with their parents this month because they have no job or means of support.”

As both Summers and the BLS data make clear, the economy is not creating new jobs fast enough to make up for layoffs and new graduates, calling into question Obama’s oft-repeated claim that the economy is recovering and creating jobs.

In fact, by citing figures from the first quarter of 2006, Summers is understating the economy’s poor performance. According to BLS data, the number of people with jobs peaked at 146.6 million in November 2007, meaning that over the entire recession – which officially began in December 2007 – the number of people employed has fallen by 6.8 million.

333 - has admitted many times that his "plan" of doing nothing would have made unemployment much worse than it is now

more importantly - why even bother trying to having rational discussion with someone who admits this:


I'm a street guy.  I know a lot, but what goes on west of the Hudson river is a fog to me.  

I do have to at least give 333 credit for being honest about his vast limitations

Yes, I said we would have a worse, but shorter recession, but get rid of the mal investments and have a real foundation to grow on, not the phoney left wing crap that was passed than only made things worse and delayed the inevitable but added mountains of debt to boot.  

Results don't lie, I was right those who support this mess were dead wrong, as usual.

I said the Stim Bill was not big enough (remember - you love reminding me about this) and contained too much bullshit

then again, we could have done the "do nothing" plan and had even greater unemployment, lower tax revenue, more problems for the states, etc...

Because it would have cleared out the mal investments and purged the system of the bad debt.  Instead we spent trillions to prop up a unsustainable situation and destroyed the dollar and our finances in the meantime.  we also created a massive amount of inflation that has hurt businesses and consumers and now not only have the horrible economy, but also have inflation and the bad investments of the banks we are on the hook for. 

We did exactly the opposite of what was needed, I said so at the time, and now have been proven correct in almost all respects.

So what would you have done???


See, the main thing that's going to get everyone running against Obama is simply the fact that while everyone is criticizing every decision he's making, there has been so suggestions as to what they would do.  

I was laid off in 2007 from Alltel and I have to rely on my business solely for income.  These issues were coming, gas was already over 4.00 dollars, food prices were going sky high, and there was still a deficit.  

Fact is its going to get a lot worse before it gets better regardless as to who is in office and its going to be that way for another decade at least.  It took 8 years of bad spending and its not going to be resolved in 2 years

After you claimed all the stim bill money was gone and had been spent, I asked for a link to where the amount of the stim bill that has been spent occurred.

You never provided it in the other thread.  I would have thought this would be right up your alley. 

Just a link to a fact based site will do.

I am not watching bullshit youtube spam.
I am not reading bullshit spam threads on GB where it is "discussed"  ::)
I am not wasting a second on any other graph, photoshop picture or bullshit article with a skewed biased view point.

Chinese politicians are engineers, scientists, physicists and architects. Our politicians are lawyers. That's part of the problem. All the politicians need to resign - they are major failures on every front. The only politician worth keeping is Ron Paul.

Sadly, this won't happen, and USA is going to spiral down the toilet.

Stimulus Bill to Cost $75 Billion More Than Expected, CBO Says
Published January 26, 2010
FOXNews.com

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010/01/26/stimulus-cost-billion-expected-cbo-says


________________________ ________________________ __________

 
The $787 billion federal stimulus package that Congress passed last year has gotten even bigger -- now expected to cost $862 billion, over the next 10 years, according to the Congressional Budget Office.

The nonpartisan CBO report, published Tuesday, attributes the $75 billion increase to added unemployment-related costs. More Americans are receiving unemployments benefits for lost jobs that the stimulus bill was meant to save, the report says.

About $21 billion of the added costs stem from higher unemployment compensation payments, while the remainder of the increase comes from food assistance payments and interest payments from states on taxable government bonds, the Washington Times reported.

In its report on the country's dire financial straights, the CBO also cites huge budget deficits, noting that the 2010 fiscal year budget is likely to reach $1.3 trillion.

Increased government spending has been the source of contentious debate between Republicans and Democrats -- amid two wars and the worst economic slump since the Great Depression.

Obama is expected to focus his State of the Union address Wednesday on job creation and announce a freeze on some discretionary spending programs.

That is from 02/2009.  There are not even any hard numbers on that.  On vague percentages.  And only 3 classes of the percentages of listed.

My question is still unanswered.  Either you don't know the answer, don't want to answer it anyway, or simply do not understand English enough to comprehend what I am asking.

Just to be clear, I need something that lists the States.  All 50 of them.  Next to that a SOLID number.  Like something that starts with.... oh I don't know... maybe a $ sign.  Next to that it would be really really REALLLLLLLYYYYYY nice (if you wanted to answer my question) to show exactly how much of that $$$ that is  listed, each state has left over.

As much as you whine about this, I would have thought you had it stored away on that hard drive somewhere.  But it must just be 2T of Obama pictures instead.

The Stimulus bill took a problem that was fixable and made it 100x worse.

Trillions of dollars were wasted on essentially nothing.

Waste, fraud, corruption and the usual suspects of big government have been compounded to a point of no return.

Government jobs were saved in the short term, corrupt government forays into the private sector were kept afloat with monopoly money, unions came out on top and nobody else that was struggling received a dime. Do you all realize that many businesses that took stimulus dollars opened up factories in China and Mexico?

To argue otherwise requires mental gymnastics that only a schizophrenic could appreciate as logical.

You can't coherently justify a piece of legislation solely on the basis of making a quantum leap into "What if?" The stimulus has been an utter failure. We have less jobs than when the recession began; in fact we are in a deeper hole than when we started. Our credit rating is on the verge of being downgraded. Consumer confidence is at an all time low. Businesses are not hiring. What more evidence do you need than that?

In World history, it has been shown irrefutably, that government interventions like the Stimulus Bill have always had the opposite effect of its intent. That is to say, infusions of government money into the economy have ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS made things worse. Japan is the most recent example. This is not even a debatable point. It is a fact. For anyone using pie in the sky, what if scenarios, chew on that. Guess what? The same thing happened to America this time around.

Chinese politicians are engineers, scientists, physicists and architects. Our politicians are lawyers. That's part of the problem. All the politicians need to resign - they are major failures on every front. The only politician worth keeping is Ron Paul.

Sadly, this won't happen, and USA is going to spiral down the toilet.

When they actually hear his economic arguments, they flip out because its completely against their leftist Keynesian voodoo.

Top Barack Obama donors net government job




More than two years after Obama took office vowing to banish “special interests” from his administration, nearly 200 of his biggest donors have landed plum government jobs and advisory posts, won federal contracts worth millions of dollars for their business interests or attended numerous elite White House meetings and social events, an investigation by iWatch News has found.

No, what I asked specifically was NOT on the that site. 

As I said before, FL has reported that only 42 CENTS out of every dollar they received from the stim bill has been spent.  That means 58 cents of every dollar is still left.

The "president" and his administration claimed it would keep UE at or lower than 8%. It is still at 9.1% (we all know it is actually higher). Therefore, the stim bill is a failure. Period. NEXT!!!!

The Economy Is Now Immune to Keynesian Crack
By Peter Schiff




Economic data over the past weeks, punctuated by recent dismal employment reports, confirm the diminishing impact of the stimulus efforts orchestrated by the Obama Administration and the Federal Reserve. In what must be a huge disappointment to Keynesian enthusiasts, the record doses of both monetary and fiscal narcotics did not produce the desired results.

In fact, the size and scope of the "recovery" of the past two years was weaker than would have been expected in a typical business cycle recovery without any stimulus whatsoever. Indeed our current recovery is the weakest on record, despite the biggest jolt of government stimulus ever administered.  

But despite the gathering gloom Austan Goolsbee, outgoing Chairman of the President's Council of Economic Advisors, argues that the economy is on the right track and that the recent salvo of horrific economic reports were not significant. The poor numbers, he said, resulted from external factors like the Japanese earthquake and the downgrade of European sovereign debt. I don't know if he really expects anyone to buy his story, but admitting you have a problem is the first step toward recovery.

In a sign that Mr. Goolsbee may have been getting increasingly uncomfortable with his job of economic propagandist, he, as alluded to earlier, has resigned. He will be returning to academia where I'm sure he is hoping to avoid blame for the coming economic train wreck.

Although I have made these comparisons before, the parallel between drug addiction and the reliance on economic stimulus is just too strong to ignore. And as with drug addiction, an economy builds up a tolerance. Each time the government successively stimulates with printed money or deficit spending, ever larger doses are needed to achieve the same result. Lest we forget, coming into the Crash of 2008, the economy had been on the receiving end of years of overstimulus. President Bush and Alan Greenspan never fully weaned the economy off their shock treatments that followed the dot.com crash and the horrors of September 11th.

This time around, the stimulus-fueled recovery is so mild that the economy is already relapsing into recession before the Fed has even begun to tighten. This puts Bernanke in a very difficult position. He either follows through on his loudly trumpeted plans to end quantitative easing this summer, or abandons those plans in favor of more stimulus. Both choices are unappealing.

Given the current economic weakness, will any additional deterioration that will surely result from a withdrawal of stimulus be politically viable? Real estate prices are already at new lows and unemployment refuses to diminish even with the punch bowl fully spiked. What would happen if it contained only cranberry juice?

To avoid these short-term consequences, the Fed can instead admit that the recovery cannot survive unaided. Bernanke would have to reverse his previously optimistic outlook, and launch QE3 even as QE2 barely pulls into port. But why would anyone believe that the "growth" that results from QE3 will be any more durable and robust than what resulted from QE1 and QE2?

Economists like the stimulus-loving Paul Krugman will surely argue that that the stimulus has been too small (like $5,000 in annual deficit spending per American is a trifling sum). But to believe that the next dose will do the trick borders on sheer insanity. When QE3 comes and goes (which I'm sure it will), the Fed will face the same choice that it faces today, yet with even greater consequences. It's a self-perpetuating cycle that ends in disaster.

Just like a Hollywood movie, each QE sequel gets progressively more ridiculous (my apologies to Johnny Depp). The government needs to admit its mistakes and write a completely different script. This time the story line must allow for a real restructuring. Real estate prices must fall further, and many financial institutions holding bad mortgages must fail. This means investors, creditors, and depositors will lose money.

Labor and capital must be re-allocated away from services into goods production. That means jobs must be lost in government, retail sales, finance, health care, and education; and jobs must be created in technology, manufacturing, textiles, mining, energy, and agriculture. This guarantees major short-term pain. But breaking an addiction is not easy. Those who say it is are living in a fool's paradise.

This transition does not require any positive action from government. All it needs to do is simply get out of the way. That does not mean there is nothing the government can do to help the process. It can remove as many regulations and taxes as possible that inhibit market forces from working their magic. But this requires a completely different mindset among our elected officials. They will need the courage and knowledge to level with the American people, and do what is in our nation's economic interests, not simply what is in their own political interest.

Foreign governments too must get out of the way and let market forces work. Their support for the U.S. dollar must end. If they do, U.S. consumer prices and interest rates will rise, as they must.

If the Fed tries to combat the effects of a falling dollar with more QE the dollar will fall even further and consumer prices will rise even higher. The cycle will either end with the Fed as the only buyer of all U.S. dollar denominated debt (wiping out the value of the dollar), or a Fed engineered rate hike that brings the cycle to an end. Both scenarios are catastrophic, but the latter at least offers the possibility of redemption.

The same experts who did not see the 2008 financial crisis coming also fail to see the world in these stark terms. And while it gives me no pleasure to forecast the demise of the U.S. economy, I hope that at least the reputations of these "experts" will sink with it.

$4.6 billion in federal stimulus money stays unspent in Florida
May 23, 2011|By Scott Powers, Orlando Sentinel

More than two years after the controversial federal-stimulus program began, Florida has yet to spend more than $4.6 billion of its stimulus money, even as the state starts seeing new layoffs of teachers and others paid with stimulus money the past two years.

Of $11 billion awarded to Florida for programs that were supposed to generate jobs, federal reports show that, as of March 31, 42 cents of every dollar still was unspent.

A large chunk of that unspent money is targeted to public schools, mainly through the $700 million "Race to the Top" grant Florida won last year to pay for education reforms, chiefly developing evaluation systems and providing merit-pay increases for teachers.

No.  We were discussing STATES.  And how can it be gone when George and I have clearly provided solid evidence that money is still in the reserves of states?  Gone is gone.  Meaning nothing.  If you got something left, it can't be gone.  Basic common sense here.

You just got busted once more in making a false statement and you got with the bullshit approach of throwing as much as you can at the wall hoping something will stick.

Ok, great - you win the semantics argument.

Now, I ask you, when the remaining 25% is spent, do you think it will have significant positive economic impact?  Do you think it will get things more in line with Obama's originally forecasted UE rate?

Hell no.  I already said years ago that the entire 100% of the stim bill was not going to change things.

But that isn't the point.  This isn't about semantics but facts, or rather lack of them.  If I said that the previous 75% of the stim bill changed things and you asked for proof but instead I started posting bullshit that wasn't even related to the topic between us, it would be the exact same tactic 333 does when he can't defend his bullshit.

If you want to post a video that everyone here will watch, post one on why you are a failure.

A very simple question was asked of something you claimed and you couldn't support it with facts.  Why is that?

Whatever dipshit.   Once the money was printed by the treasury and put on the books it weas a liability to the taxpayers and effectively spent.

You want to play word games over minor technical meaningless details and jump up and down, fine, keep making an idiot of yourself.  you are well practiced at that. 

The money is gone, the stim bill failed, just like Obama your hero did and is, and will so long as he is in office.

Truthfully, if you made the 75% comment, but the gist of the argument wasn't derailed by being off a few % points, I wouldn't have asked at all.

This is the type of shit that just clutters boards, along with pointing out gaffes (by both sides) typos, etc.....

The overall point, which you both seem to agree on, is that the stimulus failed, and you both recognized it would from the get go.

Audit: Georgia stimulus jobs program mired in waste
The Florida Times-Union ^ | June 17, 2011 | By Walter C. Jones


________________________ ________________________ __________________



ATLANTA - The Georgia Bureau of Investigation is conducting multiple investigations into the state's operation of a job-assistance program run with federal stimulus funds and the dozens of employers who participated, state officials announced Thursday.

A state audit released Thursday morning described the Department of Human Services program as plagued by poor judgment and criminal behavior.

"Apparent fraud, waste and abuse in [the] low-income jobs program likely resulted from mismanagement and weak controls in the central office," investigators with the Georgia Department of Audits & Accounts wrote.

The waste could have been worse. Georgia qualified for more stimulus money, but the managers were too inept to spend it all, the audit showed.

no this is a seperate issue. I dont agree with this.. I hate this.. I Malcolm Victor Pigford do not like this move by Obama, as i dont like GITMO, the OBAMACARE bill, Lazy foot on DADT, and lack of Infrastructure spending in the Stim bill, the fact that we didnt cut bait Afg and iraq.. I..hopefully for the last time.. Malcolm Victor Pigford being of sound mind and body do denounce any assertions that i am an aggreance with any of these policies enacted by the 44th president of the United States of America Barack Obama....there you go...

Now.. my reason for asking this question is not do defend what i think is awful policy.. as there is more to life than black and white arguments. It is to question the "all or none" Americans who applaud when side A does  something, but when side B does the same EXACT thing, it is scoffed at. But the kicker is, When someone brings up the fact that side A did this quite recently, there seems to be an endless amount of "well when he did it.. the climate was that so it was cool" when infact... its allbad.. but i understand, to some.. thats way too much thinking. They like "red vs Blue" way better

Dirt as a Growth Industry
1 comment  |  August 18, 2008  | about: CAT, DE, MTW   
Font Size: Print Email Recommend 0Share
There is a fascinating piece in the September issue of National Geographic on how dirt is becoming a growth industry. With food demand accelerating, and millions of acres of agricultural land degraded via salination and over-use, and other land becoming fallow due to compaction, this is a pressing topic, and an area ripe for innovation.

Big, heavy machines like the harvesters mash wet soil into an undifferentiated, nigh impenetrable slab—a process called compaction. Roots can't penetrate compacted ground; water can't drain into the earth and instead runs off, causing erosion. And because compaction can occur deep in the ground, it can take decades to reverse. Farm-equipment companies, aware of the problem, put huge tires on their machines to spread out the impact. And farmers are using satellite navigation to confine vehicles to specific paths, leaving the rest of the soil untouched. Nonetheless, this kind of compaction remains a serious issue—at least in nations where farmers can afford $400,000 harvesters.

Unfortunately, compaction is just one, relatively small piece in a mosaic of interrelated problems afflicting soils all over the planet. In the developing world, far more arable land is being lost to human-induced erosion and desertification, directly affecting the lives of 250 million people. In the first — and still the most comprehensive — study of global soil misuse, scientists at the International Soil Reference and Information Centre (ISRIC) in the Netherlands estimated in 1991 that humankind has degraded more than 7.5 million square miles of land. Our species, in other words, is rapidly trashing an area the size of the United States and Canada combined.

Yeah, other than some remaining funds here and there which overall are nothing in the scope of the situation.   Congratulations  on a minor techincal detail without any significance whatsoever in the overal scheme of things.  Woopddie dooo!  the king of semantics wins a minute detail while conceeding the overall argument.  Fine by me douchebag.  You voted for this asshole and all these pieces of shit making things drastically worse.   Should I also congratulate you on that as well?    

I posted an article today proving what I claimed.   The money in spent and gone.  Its done, but I guess like the good liberal douche you are, somehow you think the trickle of money left amounting to a drop in the ocean is some how going to save the day from this waste of a trillion dollars that a few of us said would happen from day 1.   And you and Mal are not in that group as you two voted for and supported this disaster until it became clear what a disaster it was.      

Finally  - show me your posts from February 2009 saying this would be a failure and a disaster like I did.    I wont hold my breath on that as you voted for and supported this faux admn from day 1 and only now, along with johnny come lately Mal, realize what a fucking mess all these policies turned out to be.   Too bad you were not bright enough to see it from day one like myself and other did.

Finally  - show me your posts from February 2009 saying this would be a failure and a disaster like I did.    I wont hold my breath on that as you voted for and supported this faux admn from day 1 and only now, along with johnny come lately Mal, realize what a fucking mess all these policies turned out to be.   Too bad you were not bright enough to see it from day one like myself and other did.      

LMAO..because i dont make proclamations based off hate?.. lol


and you voted for Bush.. and I got 2 dead friends as a result of it.. so shut the fuck up talking about retro decisions

So what all this basically says is that I was right and you were wrong.

Gotcha.

But everyone already knew that.

For real.  He is the king of "minor details" and the queen of "false details".

Careful now, he is just itching to start screaming "Fail".  That is his new buzzword for this week.  No such thing as overuse.  Like back when he was in his "hysterical" mode.

Can you imagine being a judge and having to sit through his bullshit in a court room like this?

Hate is not what made be accurately predict the absolute failure of obama on all accounts.    Anyone with a clue could see that a mile away from Day 1.

Yeah ok - both of you are forced to concede that the very first thing that transformational messiah did is a complete failure while jumping up and down in a minor detail without any significance whatsoever.   Same for obamaCare and dodd Frank as well?


I posted an article today proving my point, so both of you can continue to wallow in your ignorance and vote for 4 more years of failure and disaster for all I care.  

Bottom line - both of you agree that i was right from Day 1 that the obama "recovery act" failed.

You said that i support obamas economic policy and i dont.. and ive proved that many times...

That's right. You think more stimulus money should be flushed down the toilet and that unemployment benefits should continue for another 400 weeks.

No doubt.  He has no intellectual capacity beyond blind hatred and no mental stability beyond utter denial.  

Just watch... he is going to sit here and pound the keys over the internet... ALL.... WEEKEND.... LONG and bump 2 year old threads in his little meltdown that is going on.

Care to defend the indefensible? 

Because even obama's own Chief of Staff can't any more.   

But go vote for 4 more years of this failure.

Since we are talking about the stim bill, I can do you one better.   You can go all the way back to 2008 when BUSH passed the first one and I said it was going to amount to nothing.

The only pofs I see failing is YOU.

I had a great weekend.  Laying out by my pool and going to the beach working on getting a bit of tan for when I go to Italy in July/August.  (Where they have real Italians and not Crytalians).   Went to a BBQ.  Bought a new lens and spent yesterday trying it out.  Man, my weekend was great.

How many posts did you make here on Getbig this past weekend?
