US unemployment highest in 20 years

[moistfaucet]

Imagine the Entire World as one nation , one government, one currency. all this barriers and nationalism will never happend.

[PamelaRP]

I have been unemployed here in Oregon for 1 /2 years now and no one cares hardly here. you go to company after company and agency after agency and no one will ever call you or send you out on jobs. They lie and say that jobs exist when most jobs are NON-existant jobs. NAAFTA has cost millions of call center jobs. Collectors call and call and you have nothing to pay them. they cannot contact anyone if you do not have a telephone. I hate what they have done to people in Potland in way of work.

Thanks for posting this video stating how bad and horrible the economy is here in the US. Millions and millions of jobs are being eliminated in these cities and the Employment Departments in these cities do not give a darn. I called a lady that worked at the Employment Department and she acted it was my falt that MSI laid me and 190 people off only to move to Arkansas to pay people $6.25 an hour for work.It was not my falt they laid me off and yet they are blaming me and do not want to help me.

Wait until China begins exporting cars to N. America. Kiss the domestic auto industry good bye! According to the BBC, that country has already surpassed Japan as the world's largest automaker and the US as the largest automotive market.

usa is going broke.

[Portis1Luv]

SLAVES OF AMERICA! WAKE UP and realize that this will get worse, as they have just mortgaged the remnants of our financial future on a GAMBLE, it is simple really, the rich are not suffering, that is a lie, however, the working class once again foots the bill and their children foot the bill, and we worry, and tweet about our worries, and throw our anger to the chat rooms and web sites...so THEY can adjust their propaganda techniques...what shall WE the people do?

[sms1234]

[V8SplashMan]

I gotta say. Here in Arizona jobs have been scarce. I have no criminal background, my highschool diploma, am going to college, have work experience, academic clubs and im well rounded guy yet no place will hire. It's so insane because I used to always be able to get a job no problem but it's been getting worse each month. I've applied to countless amounts of jobs and im fed up.  Im getting a bad credit record for late payments. These problems need to fuken stop.

[moneymagnetelizabeth]

Missing meals, buying bags of potatoes, disconnect gas, electric, no phone, no service, making new clothes out of the old.

[AdorIslam]

Print more money will bring down the inflation!

[bluemoodring]

Try the highest in 79 years.

[modernlifechews]

When's this nonsense gonna stop? And when will our gov't stop screwing us over with its backwards health insurance policies?

[Rcoxx4u]

This all by design.

Read: Protocol 20

[KevZen2000]

Rcoxx4u that is right 100%.Its been planned since World War 1 with many attempts that have failed,but this attempt is working.Just another way to use their formula problem reaction solution.

The all American Dream eh!

But your still funding the illegal occupation in Palestine which is costing you billions per year! Wake up & impeach your president!

[Neville6000]

But you know that the American sheeple won't really vote in anyone different.

[BoriChumba]

Yea .. then martial law will be implemented and they won't know what has hit them!

[leftysergeant]

Now and then, capitalism must be saved from itself. This is what happens when a nation is run as though the highest good is to pile up wealth. We need to restore the reforms of the New Deal. FDR had it right then, his ideas are right now. That Reagan and the Bush Presidents tore down the infrastructure that FDR built is why we are in this state now. Tax the corporations moving off-shore and subsidize those industries that build new production capacity or rebuild such capacity here.

[eekdog2005]

SURVIVAL!.......learn it!

Jesus is a warrior prophet

Many verses in Bible shows Jesus was a warrior prophet (like David, Moses and Muhammad pbuh)

1- In Matthew 10:34 Jesus said "Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but A SWORD "

2- Jesus told his disciples to sell their outer garments and buy SWORDS !!

" He said to them, "But now if you have a purse, take it, and also a bag; and if you don't have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one." (Luke 22:36)

[DillonX]

I thought if we just gave massive tax cuts of many billions to billionaires that everything would be wonderful?

[FriedDaisy]

HA!

Very funny, DillonX.

:-)

[davincij15]

The real news has shown their hand with this story it shows that they are part of the propaganda machine.

CPI and unemployment figures are much higher. Just go over to bls(dot)gov look up how the calculate each items and look for the changes made to the formula you will see they have been modified some times on a monthly bases.

Math is math the only reason you modify a formula is to change the result. I will never donate to this scum bag operation.

[asperin]

Hope this crisis teach these things to Americans:

To appreciate the essence of free market they once had.

To know what is like to feel like the majority of the world while they go party all the time.

And to once and for all wake up and turn against their masters.

Stop being slaves !

[gopconservative94]

who cares, you lazy bums get a job

[FriedDaisy]

That old line doesn't fly, anymore, gopconservative94.

Firms, factories and other foundations of employment are downsizing. Jobs are being exported to China, India, Mexico and other countries where workers are willing to work under deplorable conditions and for pennies.

You better start caring because your job, your spouse's job, your children's future jobs may be on the line sometime soon, too.

[Neville6000]

Pretty soon, you won't have an economy left, numbnuts, so stop gloating. Also, please STFU or get lost.

[truthspeaker2000]

it´s only the prelude of an whole

symphony which will follow...

if you still have dollars, buy seeds, food, cigarettes, booze, gold/silver/copper, guns and ammunition

[curien1000]

Oh it's all just psychological, really - this is just a mental recession.  Just ask Bush, McCain, et al...

[AvangionQ]

Signs of the depression to come ...

and most likely suicide thoughts

[teemuruskeepaa]

1.47 having an insurance doesn't mean that everybody will be better when they pay the insurance companies. Many people probably are better off politically when they don't take an health insurance. TRNN is blindly repeating the mantra that 'this' system is the best and only system. People are artificially put to pay insurance by the corporations. It is not an obvious part of welfare.

[davincij15]

This video proves the Real News is a scam.

Can we all agree that inflation is not 5% that means things you need have gone up more than 5% in a year correct?

So what's wrong? Maybe the way the gov caculates the number is off lets head over to bls(dot)gov(slash)CPI and take a look...

OH MY with a little digging you see the government as change the formula many time and it no longer resembles the original formula!

So using the original formula you see CPI is 13%.

[DillonX]

I thought that the neo-cons said that if we gave massive tax cuts to billionaires everything would be wonderful?

this is not a crisis, this is the END!

"Some Big Events Are About To Occur, that will cause liberty to go into deep hibernation"...

"A financial collapse is not the end of the world, though it may feel like it. It is likely the end of the US dollar, and the end of US Hegemony"

Congressman Ron Paul July 17, 2008

Would one say this is as official as it's gonna get? I mean Ron Paul is conservative person when it comes to predictions.

[TimberGeek]

or the beginning...

[thetimman00]

I will be surprised if we don't see at least 10% unemployment within the next 2 years.

[lastnymleft]

I will be surprised if we don't see at least 10% *official* interest rate within the next 2 years.

The consumer is still yet to pay fully for the fact that Helicopter Ben and his partners-in-crime at the Fed have been flooding the world with USD to prop up the unsustainable US economy. It takes about 18 months for newly created money to flow down to the consumer as inflation, so the trillions that have been created in out of thin air the last 12 months for all these bailouts are yet to hit home

[DonSimonBolivar]

Why should we worry about people losing jobs? When we have our corporations going abroad for cheaper labor. You have big corporations going outside of America for skilled labor. So? Not just the economy has faltered but because of crony capatilism the market is out of control. The government has no control over these corporations outside of America. For example exploitation of the workers is what capatilism continues to agitated across the globe. The workers are tired of exploitation.

[JMHamilton1]

This information sickins me. until we start work on our economic problems, we will always be at the hand of other counties. START NOW.

[rodneykingman]

How many ways can you say total economic collapse and depression?

[wasy35]

it seems pretty clear, 20yrs yikes, thats a long time.

[abbaroc]

fuck bush thanx former bush supporters

[cycimian]

I have changed my diet totaly, Now i only hunt and eat rich Jews and Ziocons, Its a stinky meat but if you watch Emeril he shows you how to get past that Jew Smell , I could not belive it even Horse Manure smells better then Jew

[Whoo69]

Btw, why is everyone getting so worked up by 5.5% unemployment?? That's good!! The average rate for "full employment", determined by the experts, is 4 or 5%! 5.5% isn't that high. When it comes to unemployment, why is everyone bitching about only 5.5%? I'm starting to think Phil Gramm was right.

Put things into perspective. We had much worse unemployment and inflation in the 70s. 5.5% is nothing. East Asia had much higher unemployment during the currency crisis.

[tanio12]

"Btw, why is everyone getting so worked up by 5.5% unemployment?? That's good!! The average rate for "full employment", determined by the experts, is 4 or 5%! 5.5% isn't that high. When it comes to unemployment, why is everyone bitching about only 5.5%? I'm starting to think Phil Gramm was right."

Yeah the best thing to do is not panic. Nevertheless what about the people who drop out of the job hunt race.Maybe the unemployment numbers may not be accurate.

[Whoo69]

I bet the foreign investors like BMW or Toyota probably get huge tax breaks just to encourage them to ship jobs here. They probably don't even have to contribute that much of their revenue to our economy. It probably just goes back to their main bases in Germany and Japan. How the fuck does that help us?? Oh, sure, a little portion of that goes to American employees' salaries, but that's chump change. Free trade is destroying this country from within and from without. We have been sold out

[Whoo69]

I think our chickens are finally coming home to roost, economically speaking. We gave MFN status to China and sold our country's future out. We allowed the ratification of agreements like GATT, NAFTA and CAFTA, and millions lost their jobs. Communities around the nation were devastated. We invaded Iraq, and now oil prices are higher than ever. The dollar is continuously falling, while almost all Europeans have higher currency exchange rates, just like Britain did for a while with the US.

[Whoo69]

We had the highest trade surplus in the early 1970s, and that was also when we peaked in GDP growth. But now we have massive trade deficits, borrowing from other nations to finance our own debt and asking for more and more foreign investment, while our own companies invest OUTSIDE this nation. And yet, all the economic advisors tell us, "Oh, don't worry! You'll get new jobs from these foreign investors like Toyota. The investment will still help our economy." Really?

[Whoo69]

If it's true that foreign investment in the US means we're "attractive" economically, doesn't that also mean that if our companies ship jobs overseas, those economies are more "attractive" than our own?? WTF!

[Whoo69]

So... there's a major purse/wallet squeeze for consumers, but we still bail out these fucking lenders??! FUCK EM! And fuck those damn lenders that led to the "mortgage crisis" by giving more money to deadbeats. If they hadn't been allowed to lend money to people with bad credit, none of that shit would've happened.

[Whoo69]

I say fire the rich heads of the lenders who allowed that shit go on and hire new leaders who can get them back on track. I'm so sick of all these Wall St. bailouts. Apparently we have enough money to bail Wall St. out, but the American consumer is "out of luck"?? Poor people are "out of luck"?? Fucking Fed. Ben Bernanke is a joke. All he's doing is bitching about how things will get even worse while the Fed does nothing... again. Greenspan at least did stuff.

[tanio12]

"by giving more money to deadbeats. If they hadn't been allowed to lend money to people with bad credit, none of that shit would've happened."

Well it's not just those with bad credit. Even those with good credit are getting their homes foreclosed on because of not so good circumstances.

[Whoo69]

Is employment really the highest in 20 years?? You sure the Bush post-9/11 recession unemployment wasn't higher? Or the Bush Senior recession? Of course, if you count the awesome growth of the Clinton Administration, that's something we may never experience again, at least for a while.

[medhue]

Free trade is what has killed our economy. Any1 who knows history, knows the free trade is a tool used by globalist to destroy civilizations. Everytime it is used, it creates the same results and any1 with a brain can figure out why. Clinton started all of this mess. Its not just him tho, its an organized assault from both party to change our government. People need to wake up. None of this crap happened my accident.

[ngarey]

nah, just the Republicans stripping all regulations off of the economy.

[cgyvr]

now why do Americans say they're the best?

looks like some people should starting minding there own before this gets even more out of hand

[lordblazer]

I wonder if Real News will survive this recession/depression?

[TheMessageStupid]

Job cuts in major US companies this yr: UnitedHealth Group= 4000 Chrysler= 2400 in St. Louis alone Bank of America & Countrywide= 7500 Brunswick= 1700 Volvo(US)= 2000 (1400 white collar) Citigroup= 13200 WaMu= 4200 The McClatchy Co.

Home Depot= 1300

Thstd over 81,000 jobs annouced

And thats just whats annouced...

[KevZen2000]

That is the ones reported.The real amount is about 1/5 of the population in the US is laid off. The economic is just setting people up for the one-world currency coming soon using the cancer Microchip.This has been planned for years.The elite are using this to buy out property and assets for pennies on the dollar.

Look forward to false flag terror attacks and martial law.

[TheMessageStupid]

i hear you man, lets hope it doesnt come to that though

[KevZen2000]

As long as the Federal Reserve exist the economy will crash and we do not have money backed up by a precious metal the economy will crash regardless.Also,secret societies are big problem of causing problems for personal gain.The IRS,income tax,CFR,Bilderberg Group,and the Trilateral Commission should be destroyed if you want the world to be restored.

[MoralObserver]

Good report. Neither McCain nor Obama have a real plan for this. Ron Paul and the likes, however, do.

[KevZen2000]

MoralObserver check out Chuck Baldwin also.Ron Paul is the best,but the NWO Elite will try to stop him from winning.Obama and McCain are CFR members and they work for the NWO.

[MoralObserver]

Yup, Chuck is running under the Constitution Party.

Check out: watch?v=y4rLs8E7fDs

[fcwbaker]

I love the real news.

If I was employed I would donate.

[lordblazer]

If I wasn't a poor college student I would donate. Well gotta wait for my refund check woot!!!

[markangeloc]

What are we waiting for, the elites are fulfilling their 90% extinction of the population and we are just sitting around. Stop supporting the corps, stop driving your cars, let us stop this madness before it is too late. Globalization is their plan, Marxism is their solution, can't we see what they are doing?

[lordblazer]

shut up you're an idiot. You don't even know what marxism is to sit here and make it out to be a villain. Capitalism has always had these downfalls. Even the downfall that there has to be a slave class. Soooo really it's all the same to me. By the end of the day someone suffers because of the system.

[markangeloc]

lorblazer,

Big man with insulting words, when all else fails call people names. I was born in Cuba and I know to well what Marxism is. You do your research big man and find out the capitalists (elites) plan for our world, it has Marxism written all over it. But don't take my word for it, do your homework, as I have. Are you related to Bill OReilly? It seems Shut Up runs in your family. That doesnt work with me, I will speak as long as I feel like it, not you or any one will shut me up.

[KevZen2000]

True. They use the economic crash to buy out everything really cheap and to force the Amero or cancer microchip.This is all planned as you know.Thanks patriot.

[markangeloc]

KevZen2000

Yes indeed it is all planned, it is a shame that these sheeples do not see what is being done right before their very eyes. You are very welcome my friend.

[seekingjustthefacts]

You are correct. I do not know what has happended to the American spirit. People used to take to the streets, and hold their government accoutable. No so today. Have we become that complacent and out of touch? This is dangerous.

[tanio12]

"No so today. Have we become that complacent and out of touch? This is dangerous. "

I have one word for you TELL A LIE VISION. Enough said

[markangeloc]

Seekingjustthefacts

The entertainment, food, and pharmaceuticals dispense through out our environment has dumbed us down and decreased our drive and intelligence. I don't understand how people cannot see it as clear as it is. It is very dangerous indeed.

[SkinSinFilms]

Although I feel for you for being called names, I have to agree with lordblazer that it is an aburdity to contend that the goal of the capitalist elites and corporations is to institute Marxism. Fascism perhaps but not Marxism.

[markangeloc]

I don't worry about the name calling. I have done my home work and know what I am talking about. Here is a clip from google, that explains what I am saying: The simple fact is that we never won the Cold War as decisively as we should have. Yes, the Berlin Wall fell, and the Soviet Union collapsed. This removed the military threat to the West, and the most hardcore, economic Marxism suffered a blow as a credible alternative.However, one of the really big mistakes we made

[markangeloc]

cont: after the Cold War ended was to declare that Socialism was now dead, and thus no longer anything to worry about. Here we are, nearly a generation later, discovering that Marxist rhetoric and thinking have penetrated every single stratum of our society, from the Universities to the media. Islamic terrorism is explained as caused by "poverty, oppression and marginalization," a classic, Marxist interpretation. While the "hard" Marxism of the Soviet Union may have collapsed for now, the soft

[markangeloc]

cont: mmarxism of the western left has actually grown stronger. The soft Marxists talk about tolerance and may seem less threatening, but their goal of overthrowing the evil, capitalist West remains the same. In fact, they are more dangerous precisely because they hide their true goals under different labels. Perhaps we should call it "stealth Socialism" instead of soft Socialism. Not only has Marxism survived, it is thriving and has in some ways grown stronger. Do your home work and see.

[markangeloc]

It is deeper than most people care to think about. Our minds are controlled our thoughts programed. Capatalism will lead to our distruction, we asked for it, and now we are getting it.

[teemuruskeepaa]

Soft socialism is social democrat nonsense. Real socialists aim to redistribute not just the economic capital, but the cultural and social capital as well. Soft socialists are well-meaning but helplessly powerless to end capitalism. The only real way to this kind of socialism is political action against social segregation, participatory direct democracy in the small community level.

[markangeloc]

They have infiltrated the system and are taring down America for their benefit, brain washing the masses, and creating the NWO

[asperin]

I see communism all over America.

High taxes.

Taxes for everything.

Need permission to do anything.

People do not truly own their land.

Federal gov growing.

Laws canceling rights everywhere.

It is not a Marxist conspiracy though.

The people who financed Marx have control of the Federal Reserve today.

[markangeloc]

Indeed, communism is all over. I never said it was a conspiracy, I was responding to lordblasers comment, he asked me to shut up regarding my comment that capatalism is heading towards marxism. I believe globalization is a marxisms plan to take over the world, as in NWO. We are in deep doo doo.

[SkinSinFilms]

I'm a former Marine combat vet, Two degrees, Phi Beta Kappa Magna cum Laude high IQ Excellent work ethics and unemplowed...now why...I'm not a corporate tool and I absolutely REFUSE to submit to mandatory pre-employment drug screens. The only josb I've held in 15 years is that of a restaurant serverf because it doesn't require pissing in a bottle. Imagine that a man with abilities and talents such as I but I am unemployable in the country that I fought for. ROTFLMFAO.

[medhue]

hey skinsinfilms, thanks for the your commitment to principles. Not many people have them anymore. If more people stood up for the constitution and our rights, maybe we would not be here. Sadly, most people are just sheep and bow to their masters. Keep your head up.
