Rush Quote Of The Day
A gleeful pile on.
The unemployment rate is now up to 6.1%. We’ve lost a whopping 84,000 jobs last month — and, of course, CNBC is going nuts here with the doom and gloom. They love this. It creates audience.
Financial newsletter guys love this kind of crisis to increase their subscription rates. Robert B. Reich was on CNBC this morning claiming American consumers are wiped out. They love this! They love you suffering. They love your pain. They want you in bad shape, and they want you blaming Bush and Republicans. Okay, 84,000 jobs last month. It seems to me, just from my memory, off the top of my head, that most of those would probably be journalists and people that work for the Drive-By Media. Because all last month, I kept hearing about all these layoffs at the Chicago Tribune Company, at the New York Times Company. At USA Today, 3,000 people they’re going to lay off, remember that? I would lay a dollar to a doughnut here that most of the 84,000 jobs lost are in the media, to which we say, “Cool!”
I second that.
And here’s a bonus at the expense of The Oprah…
By the way, her mother is being sued, $156,000 in unpaid bills, clothing bills or something. Oprah Winfrey’s mom has until September to respond to the lawsuit. What is it about these rich liberals that let their parents sit around and wallow in the mire, or their half-brothers? By the way, I got a new slogan for Pizza Hut, the new Kenyan pizza: Put a Pizza in Your Hut.
So you’ve got Obama’s brother living on $12 a year over in a hut in Kenya, Oprah’s mom, $156,000 unpaid clothing bills, now in the middle of a lawsuit, and both of these two are wealthy liberal elitists. As I said, I don’t care what Oprah does, but I think the bloom ought to be off her rose, too. This woman, she’s a businesswoman, she’s out there supposedly trying to empower women through her show and so forth, and that’s all BS just like all of feminism is BS.
Are we really surprised?

Oprah can give automobiles out to entire audiences of perfect strangers yet she can’t cover her own mother’s debts, which are miniscule in comparison to the kind of money Oprah makes?
Feel the love.

And Barry O’Bama speaks to us of “being our brother’s keeper” while his half brother lives in a cardboard box on some Kenyan back street.

Swampy, as far as I know, all Uuuuuuhbama’s brothers live in poverty. Does anyone know how well off his half-sister in Hawaii is?

I am sure it is a coincidence but this is the first full month just after new, 12% higher US minimum wages took effect.

bdunbar…you hit the nail on the head. That’s a basic concept in Micro and Macro economics. If you mandate a federal raise increase for employees….employers layoff people to offset the wage increase to still maintain a profit. Unemployment is also tied to inflation (which we’ve seen alot lately for food and fuel). Simple business. Sometimes it annoys me how blatantly stupid a majority of the populace is. If it’s in print it must to true…so why should I research it? sheesh…But I am getting a kick that alot of bias media folk lost their jobs
They might have to find real work and have to be accountable for their actions or get fired again.

And 2112, that’s why they don’t teach economics in school. Because if they did, more people would have a better understanding of how the policies the dems push would hurt our country.

oh they taught me economics in High school, but I guess that’s why I became conservative after being a liberal throughout school…
