The recent jobs report is misleading

I don't think you understand the republican party.

You are basing your support on influence rather than principle. The "movement" to which you referred is not merely and anti-Obama movement. It is supposed to be about the principles of limited government and personal liberty. The only Republican who actually represents those principles is Ron Paul. The rest are Bush clones. Palin is a f***ing joke and Romney is just running for another notch in his belt. You Republicans who vote for these creeps are just as bad as the liberals.

You understand part of the movement, anti-Obama, limited government, and greater personal lberty. The part you left out was a return to ethics, God, nationalism and common sense.This movement defines and is the Republican party. Look no farther than the "maverick" John McCain. John McCain who was a "maverick" when it was politically wise for him has seen the power of this movement and has jumped on board. (He is and always will be a phony though) Other Republicans see the power of this movement and have jumped on board too.The Republican party of individuals unwilling to take a strong stand, the "moderates" is over. We now consist of more principled members and of course those who just pretend to be principles like McCain.

Seriously this stuff is pretty obvious and if you don't see this change your head is stuck in the sand. Ironically Mccain chose Palin as his number 2 and he ends up changing to follow her lead. Its pretty funny.

here's a hint, in your little formula, does the overall number of workers become zero after 50 years?

It really is amazing, isn't it?

I go back and forth between believing that there really are so many people who seem to be infinitely stupid and, in my more optimistic moments, thinking that they are all or almost all just trolls trying to get a reaction.

"The next election will bring change. The country has been headed in the wrong direction but there is an awakening on the horizon"

I believe this has been said by someone pretty much every election cycle.

"are U.S. manufacturing jobs going to China? Or are they just going away? According to my research, five out of six of the U.S. manufacturing job losses since 1990 were victims of productivity growth (i.e., increasing output per worker).

Between 1990 and the end of 2004, manufacturing employment in the U.S. declined from 17.7 million to 14.4 million. Preliminary data indicate that the decline continued into the 1st quarter of 2005."

The US losing manufacturing jobs is an old story. Until laws are changed the US will NEVER have a substantial increase in manufacturing jobs. This is simply no longer a country dependant on manufacturing jobs.

Once the GOP gains some power back in Congress I predict great things in Obama's 2nd term...IF he can get over the hump. He knows how to do one thing well...get elected. This could be eerily similar to Clinton's reign in the 2nd term.

People being this stupid doesn't surprise me at all. Look how many people voted for Obama. Look at the number of people who are spoon fed agenda's by the liberal media. Newspapers get an angle and will cherrypick quotes and news to support that angle and nobdy can see through that. They have done that to Sarah Palin and they have done that to every other major Conservative leader.Remember when they said Jimmy Carter was so bright and Reagan so dumb that Carter would kill him in a debate. Pretty silly now. Al Gore so bright and Bush so dumb, bush would get killed in a debate. They went after Quayle the same way.The only ones who are dumb are those who beleive it. There are many of those.

You are sorely mistaken. The Tea Party movement started as a fundraising event for the Ron Paul presidential campaign in 2007. Some of the participants were religious, but the movement was NOT about religion. After the election, other Republicans who stand for nothing but their own political careers seized the opportunity to increase their personal popularity by associating with the movement. By now it has been thoroughly hijacked by the likes of clowns like Palin and Beck and its meaning destroyed. It's been turned into an all pupose anti-Obama movement where anyone who hates the current administration shows up and makes a fool out of himself. It's becuse of these Republicans that the movement is going to fail.

Umm if you are talking about the rally last weekend, 850,000 is a bunch of bs. I live in dc and that rally was not even close to 850,000. I would put it at best 150,000 but most likely only 100,000 as that is about how many people would extend from the lincoln mem just past the reflecting pool PACKED in tight. CBS hired an estimator who put the # at 87,000. Either way never in my life have I seen so many people unable to follow traffic signs and street signs. Not the brightest of crowds.

Park service estimation formulas are based on a person taking up a square meter. The average tea-partier is obese and takes up much more space, so those numbers can't be trusted.

As an atheist, I could care less about god and certainly don't think that theological beliefs should have anything to do with how the country is run. That part of the tea-party is absolutely useless.

However, I am of the opinion that those who run the country should have a high sense of ethics and act accordingly. Furthermore, I agree that the US should expand personal liberty--and that includes liberties that are a supposed affront to religious sensibilities; something that many in the "tea party" don't quite understand. Finally, I think this country needs some serious lessons on fiscal frugality.

The problem is that the people in the tea party and those backed by such individuals are not the answer to attaining the abovementioned principles.

The republicans are not much different from the democrats, and their sameness has somehow escaped most folks living in the US. Neither party does much to truly expand personal liberties--they both simultaneously increase and decrease the amount of personal liberties--, neither party has politicians who are head and shoulders more ethical than the politicians in the other party, and both parties are absolutely atrocious at trying to exercise fiscal responsibility.

We need a goddamn revolution. Srsly...

We do need a revolution and we are having one...a nonviolent one. I have been to numerous local tea party meetings and like any other party we have members with different ideas and motivations.

Theoretically, yes....if none of those leaving the work force are not being replaced.

If the are being replaced at slower rate then that at which they are leaving it will obviously take longer.

How long is a twelve-pack of beer going to last if you drink 3 bottles per day? 4 days.

If you drink 3 and put back 2 fresh ones? 10 days

If you drink 3 and put back 3? forever
