Is high unemployment the new norm?



Women and Black Youth are Most Affected By Job Loses
I Repeat, WHERE ARE THE JOBS ? Only 88,000 new jobs in March


Have we attained full employment ?  Maybe I missed something while I was sleeping. I know I was not on vacation where there were no news outlets available.  What happened to an issue that has been reported as the greatest concern of people polled ?  Jobs ! Could it be that 7.8 unemployment is now ok. Prior to the election it was one of the only things reported. Except if it was a liberal media outlet.  Everyone wondered if Mr. Obama would be the first President  re-elected with an unemployment rate of 8 plus percent.  Well we will never know.  By hook or by crook Obama and company made sure the national un employment figures were reduced by two tenths of a point.  Helped by the states that had Republican Governors whose economic policies were directly opposite of the Obama administration's idea of fiscal growth. Thus helping those states in efforts towards creating jobs. The only jobs produced by ideas put forth by Obama, were the increase of federal jobs. Either temporary jobs with no future or government jobs.  Not the private sector.  Those states attracted more companies by being friendly to business. One of the factors were " right to work " laws. Of course that would  be in direct opposition to the Obama base and union support that he depends on.
Federal Work force size increased and will continue to rise under Obama Care
Soon after the election the number went up by 1 tenth of a point and the the economy contracted.  Not very promising for creating jobs. The Obama sycophants will try to spin the facts. Always comparing to little snippets of facts to Bush. However the numbers do not lie. "At the end of the day". A term so often used by the left to underscore their bogus points or fill the space that truth should occupy. The Obama administration has more federal workers than when he took office. With Obama Care that figure is sure to rise with the addition of Gestapo like IRS agents. An additional 14000 projected by last count.
He uses other issues to deflect attention from his failures
So what does the Obama administration do.  He creates "straw men ".  He gets everyone focused on other things like crises over taxes and debt. Anti-gun legislation He blames sequester. An idea that he himself pushed and signed.  Golf getaways and lessons from Tiger Woods.  Lavish separate vacations for his wife and kids. Anything and anyone that will deviate from the most important matter he said he would fix with the infusion of ONE TRILLION DOLLARS in stimulus spending. That were supposed to provide shovel ready jobs. That he laughingly said were not so shovel ready. As a matter of fact only 6 % of that money was spent on infrastructure.  If that is not an indication of the failing of his administration to efficiently manage the money than what is. They say they need more money and more time. How much money and how much time is the question he will not answer.  It looks like he never intends to answer that question as long as the treasury keeps printing money that is more and more worthless day by day. Been to the gas pumps lately or the super market.
Stimulus Money Used as Obama Slush Fund to Reward Unions
Of course if you used the money as a slush fund to bail out G.M.  In doing so create a situation that causes unions and the federal govt. to own it. Or, to bail out Chrysler so that the Canadians and Italian auto maker Fiat to own it.  Then to send the work outside the U.S. to China.  They also did a great job to bail out blue    states.  So that they could give those states money to satisfy outrages extortion demands by civil service employee unions.  Forced upon the tax payer through collective bargaining negotiations that in turn benefit the Democratic politicians. That then negotiate with the unions. Giving them what they want for campaign money generated by union dues.
Where Are The Jobs. He has developed amnesia when it comes to this problem
That leaves us with the same question.  WHERE ARE THE JOBS ?  Not the part time jobs. Not the jobs you have today and lose tomorrow.  Not temporary jobs, or low wage jobs. Real jobs that can secure the future security of people that are still willing to work for their daily bread. With a GDP around 1 percent there are no jobs and the job market will never recover at that pace. It is just factually impossible.
