Now if Wal-Mart were to close 120 stores the Chinese economy might go into a recession. :-)

And the streets of China will be filled with a bunch of unemployed children! Oh the humanity!

:-D

''Average hourly earnings for jobholders rose to $17.88 in April, a tiny 0.1 percent rise from the previous month. That was less than the 0.3 percent rise economists were forecasting.''

Real wages are actually falling. No surprises here. That''s the way it''s been going since 2000.

Some people have actually benefited from Bush''s economic policies: the oil industry, the wealthy, and let''s not forget the illegal aliens.

bhoogren,

You made three comments that have absolutely no connect to what I sad. I know how the Labor Department calculates unemployment and IT IS WRONG. Unemployment rates are kept artificially low to fool DUPES like yourself that the economy is doing well.

Well then they should hire you since you know what is right and they, of course, do not possess your godlike wisdom.

Please send them an application. Dupes like me need you to save us from our blindness, ignorance and lack of wisdom.

Please save us oh wise and all knowing one. Maybe you are the second Christ? We will worship you.

Look on the bright side... I''ll bet Linnen&Things just sells a bunch of Chinese-made junk. In a way, closing those stores might be a good thing.

For the fourth month in a row, the economy lost jobs, the Labor Department reported Friday. But in April the losses totaled 20,000, an improvement from the 81,000 reductions in payrolls logged in March. Job losses for both February and March turned out to be a bit deeper than previously reported.

The latest snapshot of the nationwide employment conditions - while

It definetly isn''t good news for the 20,000 who lost their jobs. Maybe it is for Wall Street.

You need to read some independent news you fool. First of all the majority of shiites in Iraq are moderate pro-Maliki and only a minority of radicals follow MUQTADA-IRAN-PUUT-AL-SADR. Secondly we are working to change history. There wont be room to anybody who wants to topple Al-Maliki government the way they did with the Iranian Chah REZA PAHLEVI in the 70s.

What we forget about this is that half of the country hated the Shah because of economic woes.....and he was making MILLIONS personally from the USA. The revolution took place and our response was arming Saddam to fight them.....we instantly inflamed the situation and we wonder why those people don''t trust us today.

[whatithink-2009]

cyberus,

GOOD POINT.

[whatithink-2009]

BagdadsHere,

You will come up with any excuse/justification for any stupid thing that Bush/Cheney/McCain has done or will possibly do if this corrupt regime continues after this year. Awful.

[cyberus-2009]

Another interesting thing is that its called *good news* because the experts guessed wrong?
Boy ... thats a quick way to try and make things look better than they are ... predict huge job losses and unemployment and point at smaller losses as GOOD NEWS!!

''member the money that the talked about It money fined for..NOT A WORD ABOUT IT..

[whatithink-2009]

arlt1627,

Asking them to study history or learn about a culture is a lost cause. We are asking the same type of people who killed Sikhs after 9/11 to do more than manage off of their own prejudices. That''ll be the day. They don''t even realize that Iraq was a secular society before we invaded and not a fundamentalist islamic one.

A lot of those on the "left" have read PNAC and know what the real plan is.

[a-ji]

THEY CALL THIS GOOD NEWS?! DO THEY WANT US TO JUMP FOR JOY? IF THIS IS GOOD, THEN I DON''T KNOW WHAT BAD NEWS IS.

[noloyalisti]

Only a right wing propaganda machine owned and operated by fascists could attempt to be so blatantly ignorant by announcing something like this. Kind of like, we are only losing 1-2 soldiers a day in Iraq instead of 3-4, so we are "winning". Shame on these stupid fascists.

[whatithink-2009]

BagdadsHere,

You are worse than an innocent dupe if you think the so-called Iraqi government has any power to decide whether we stay or go. When those men were hanging Saddam, they were not shouting out the name of Al-Maliki. Al-Sadr is more in control of the average Iraqi than the puppet Al-Maliki. You should do some research on what happened to the last puppet we installed in Iran. You are a fool.

[cyberus-2009]

*Only* 20,000 jobs ... its not ONLY a job when its yours thats lost.
