Not wanting this to take a PoFo slant...from economics standpoint alone this is not good....

This is a visual depiction of unemployment, by County for the entire United States over the last 2.5 years. Amazing to watch and only takes 30 seconds to view.

"If you laugh, you think, and you cry, that's a full day. That's a heck of a day. You do that seven days a week, you're going to have something special."

Again BDH outstanding visual aid....and FTR this is from a banned POFO guy...but there is no way for this NOT to take a POFO bend since the economic policies of these politicians (clowns) has a direct and immediate effect on the hiring policies of small business for sure and big business in all probability....I will guarantee this will get worse...GUARANTEE.......unless there is a significant shift in spending and economic policy.

I add this not to divert this thread but to expand on the problem this unemployment is causing.

http://www.usatoday.com/news/sharing/2010-02-01-hunger_N.htm

One in eight Americans — 37 million — received emergency food help last year, up 46% from 2005, the nation's largest hunger-relief group reports today.

This will only get worse and the lines much longer. I wonder when the media will start a running tally on Americans dying of hunger?


This is the only thing I’ve learned: There’s only us. There’s no them. Despots and authoritarians need to make a “them” to have a straw man whom you are against. If you need to make an enemy of “them,” you’ve lost the spirit of us. - Ken Burns of PBS

Let's all keep in mind that both parties had sold us out long ago. Theyre both two wings of the same party, the elite big business party.
