The latest employment report issued today shows that the
unemployment number dropped to 7.4% from 7.6% that on the surface seems
good. However, as all business networks
have reported, don't celebrate just yet.
We have seen the number of employed drop to 63.4% and this keeps going
down every month. The number of full
times jobs were down and the numbers originally given in May and June had to be
revised downward also. Over 200,000
people have given up looking for work and this is part of the reason for the
drop to 7.4%. This employment number is
not good, has not been good under this president and his social engineering
programs and will get worse if Obamacare is fully implemented as employers will
reduce their workforce or cut employees hours.
Of course, this logic escapes the academics in this administration. But as I said many times before, if you have
no real work experience and only book knowledge, you will not see the situation
improve. The first 4 year of this
administration, President Obama blamed President Bush and it seems the next 4
years it will be the republicans in congress, the rich employers and the lack
of another stimulus. We know the $850
billion stimulus was a joke and most of the money went to green jobs that
failed but served to reimburse his political supporters, and to union
workers. Little is mentioned about
this, but the stimulus specified that only union workers could be hired on the
stimulus dollar. We also know the jobs
were not shovel ready and with the upcoming elections in 2014, this president
wants to get tax dollars out to his political supporters of they can come back
to him in campaign contributions.
To compound our economic situation, it seems the Fed will
continue to print approximately $85 Billion a month to prop up the stock market
even though they claim it is to help the economy. Every month they print money, every month your savings (if you
have any) is worth less. The more they
print, the less your currency is valued.
Common since, but not many are reporting on this fact. Furthermore, if and when the Fed stops
printing money, you will see the stock market drop to around 12,000 if not
more. Print money and the market goes
up. Investors know this. Stop printing and you will see the investors
selling to get their money out and maybe put them into bonds that will go
up. The average citizen gets screwed
either way and yet this president likes to demagogue the so called fat cats and
yet he is behind this. As I have
said, it is not what this president says, it is what he does. You must watch both hands.
