Unemployment for Political Gain

Conservative news organizations are and will continue to focus largely on the unemployment rate during the next couple of years. While I agree that unemployment is an important issue which effects the people of our country directly, I do not agree that it is the best indicator of the state of our economy.

Traditionally, the last thing to recover from recessionary times is the unemployment rate. Even when the money starts moving again, and the economy starts to improve, it takes time for the manufacturers, the corporations and the business people to gain the confidence of a sustained recovery. When re-hiring employees, companies want to be certain that they will be able to afford those employees over the long run. Hence, the standard cycle of recession recovery starts with hiring temp employees and when the economy has shown itself to be out of recession for a sustained period of time that is when companies finally have the confidence to start hiring employees again.

So, why the basic review of recession recovery?

The Republicans will definitely use this to their advantage as they attempt to recover seats in the Senate and the House... and, of course, when they make a bid for the White House in 2012.

Even with if we had an instant recovery, the unemployment rate generally will not recover for 4 to 5 years. The worst of it isnt even over yet, we will see the unemployment rate go up over 10% before it gets better. This being the case, the Republican argument that stimulus programs have not worked will be shown by pointing over and over again to the unemployment rate. Wait and see. In a couple of years youll see Im correct as the Republican mantra becomes Unemployment hit the highest level in decades.

Dont fall for the political tricks. Look at the big picture. Why are Republicans so interested in deficit spending now that Obama is president? When Bush was deficit spending on a war overseas, there was no talk among the Republicans about deficit spending, only about keeping America safe. Now we are spending money domestically to help the economy recover from the disastrous state the Republicans put it in, and they want to blame the Democrats. The worst part, plenty of Americans are stupid enough to buy into it. Dont believe me? Look at the comments on this video. I havent posted this video yet, but if it actually gets any viewers I know what kind of responses will result.

Thanks for reading, and I might as well start now: Re-elect Obama for President!

Thanks. I am actually under the belief (I haven't checked my facts) that the 3rd ghost on the shirt is "Sue" from Ms. Pac-man.

High school graduate girl who doesnt work and gets money from the hard working republicans

[vgcq02]

you are right on the money. If unemployment improves by 2012 and the deficit shrinks, there is no way the GOP wins in 2012

[MONOPOLY35]

Your video has an interesting viewpoint.

[ClarksonsinUSA]

You and many others need to step away from the intoxicationg idiological juice bowl. Until then you will only be disappointed and always attempt to find a culprit and typically that will the opposing politico.

The shit has'nt even hit the fan yet, just wait till the currency devaluation (dollar) begin to get some legs. The decisions that the current admin are making are no different in action than past admins they are just FAR better at public relations than the last admin and many others. Yes, nominally SOME numbers are making things look OK, for now but we're pretty fucked.

Have you ever seen the whole alex jones new world order thing?

[drewd1987]

I could give a shit less if a republican or anyone else was President. You guys are like cult followers in your blind faith of a man you don't even know, and who doesn't give a shit about you.

Obama = Bush.

[drewd1987]
