The Recovery Is Losing Steam
By DAVID LEONHARDT

Forget about the drop in the unemployment rate last month. The economic
recovery has lost significant steam in the last few months.

Today’s employment report is clear on that score. Job growth in the
private sector has slowed — to 83,000 last month and a three-month
average of 119,000. From February to April, the private sector added
154,000 jobs a month. (With the Census winding down, the federal
government cut jobs last month, which explains the drop in overall
employment.)
DESCRIPTION

And unlike in May, when private-sector job growth slowed but the workweek
got longer, employers cut hours last month, too. Total hours worked last
month fell in June for the first time since February.

Average hourly pay dropped, too, to $22.53 in June, from $22.55 in May.
It’s still higher than it was a few months ago — and higher than it was
when the recession began in December 2007, surprisingly enough — but it’s
no longer moving in the right direction.

All these numbers come from the Labor Department’s survey of businesses,
which is larger and more reliable than the survey of households. But the
household survey gave essentially the same picture. It showed a big jump
(more than 800,000) in the number of people outside the labor force —
neither working nor looking for work. That’s the only reason that the
unemployment rate fell, to 9.5 percent from 9.7 percent.

I want to reiterate this point: the unemployment rate fell last month
even though actual unemployment did not fall. Only official unemployment
— the share of people actively looking for work — fell.

To the extent that the report offered any silver linings, they included a
drop in the number of people working part-time because they could not
find full-time work (to 8.6 million, from 8.8 million). The report also
suggested that private-sector job growth isn’t quite as bad as last
month’s report indicated. History suggests that true job growth may also
be a bit better the Labor Department is estimating; that’s the usual
pattern in the early stages of a recovery.

The overall picture isn’t so much of a double-dip recession as it is of a
badly wounded economy recovering at a slow pace.

But that’s not much to get excited about it. If the Senate and the
Federal Reserve were waiting for more information to decide whether the
economy needed more help, they just got it.

With a unanimous vote from each party and both independents.

Couldn't happen that way now, of course.

Shut down the country and whine loudly because nothing is being done
to fix the problems the Republicans created.

That's the Republican way.

One of the more obvious and blatent displays of public liberal

Prior to that the left cheered Ted Kennedy when he spoke of writing a
bill to help with educating our kids. But when Bush signed Kennedy's
"No Child Left Behind Bill" the same people said it was Bush's worst
fuck up ever at the time.

BTW I do agree. Bush should have vetoed the first bailout bill.

Post your name and address. If Republicans are elected in 2010,
and the economy has not rebounded 1000% by March 2010, you will
be submit to absolute extermination along with all other registered

The essence of the "debate" here is simple.

To stimulate jobs, we are gonna need to loan a tranch to _somebody_.

Would you like to loan it to the government you can vote for?

Or would you like to loan it to the CEOs who just fired 18 million of

Gee, what a pity you didn't think of that during the Bush years...

Being an obsessive moron like you are, this won't do any good, but
governments should tax during good times and save against the inevitable

That happens to be in the Bible (which everyone knows is based on the
US Constitution!).

6 years of harvest and 1 year of Jubilee.

That follows the natural business cycle of boom & bust, which you can
find in the historical records of any agrarian society.

And in fact, it's that very biblical reference that contains the phrase,
"And proclaim liberty throughout the land". They didn't mention that the
"liberty" in question was letting the fields go fallow, and spending the
year foraging for food.

It's all very free market and libertarian, you know.

It also implied living on palace largess, which was the factual system
for those cultures.

Please show where I've indicated I was happy with Bush as President.
The lefty loons however railed about him and his spending yet think
it's a great idea when Obama does even worse.

Government knows nothing about "saving". They simply tax and when
they run out, they tax some more.

That's because I understand the basic economic principle that you run
surpluses when times are good so you can run the deficits that are needed
to cope with when times are bad.

A pity none of you self-styled economic experts can ever figure that out.

Prove you have the courage of your convictions...Move to a place where
there's no government to tax your income away. Prove the validity of
your philosophy. Somalia springs to mind.

So you insist that Obama should have "cut and run" from two wars,
immediately revoked Bush's tax cuts, retroactively revoked TARP, and
magically made the recession disappear.

This country still is not a dictatorship, rightard.

who can just overrule Congress and just discard Bush's commitments.

LOL! What an idiot! Sure, cut 1/4 of the US military (we don't NEED
a navy). Cut SS benefots by 25%. Default on debts and destroy the
US economy.

If your position is that the government "saved" money for when times
weren't good, then you should be able to show where it was placed so
it could be used later.

So you're cut-and-run rightard who thinks that Bush was wrong for
invading Iraq amd Afghanistan and for cutting taxes for the rich.

Your worst criticism of Obama is that he's too much like the GOP.

Obama will have run a greater deficit in his first two years in office
than Bush did in eight years.

Since taking over both Houses, the Democrats have increased the
deficit a ten fold.

That, of course, is a lie.

It's an outragious lie.

It's a stupid, easily disproved, lie.

"The House voted 219 to 212 to approve the measure, with every
Republican voting no. The measure now awaits President Obama's
signature. "
Washington Post, March 22, 2010

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/03/21/AR2010032100943.html

So, after the fact, you're trying to hang Obama's disasterous
"healthcare" bill on the Republicans.

Didn't happen that way then.

Excuse me, Obama's gotten everything he wants. No shutting down
necessary. This is the economy the Democrats and Obama wanted. Why
aren't you guys running on your record?

Let's take a look at the above sentence, shall you?

A "goosestepper" is someone who does what he's told without question.
That's exactly what the Republicans aren't doing. You're pissed off
that the Republicans aren't obeying.

Obama deficit is about the same in his first two years in office than
Bush's was during his entire administration.

"They were all disloyal. I tried to run the ship properly by the book,
but they fought me at every turn. If the crew wanted to walk around
with their shirttails hanging out, that's all right, let them! Take
the towline - defective equipment, no more, no less. But they
encouraged the crew to go around, scoffing at me and spreading wild
rumors about steaming in circles and then 'Old Yellowstain.' I was to
blame for Lieutenant Maryk's incompetence and poor seamanship.
Lieutenant Maryk was the perfect officer, but not Captain Queeg. Ah,
but the strawberries! That's, that's where I had them. They laughed at
me and made jokes, but I proved beyond the shadow of a doubt, and
with, with geometric logic, that, that a duplicate key to the wardroom
icebox did exist. And I would have produced that key if they hadn't
pulled the Caine out of action. I, I know now they were only trying to
protect some fellow officer. (He pauses - looks at all the questioning
faces that stare back at him, and realizes that he has been ranting
and raving.) Naturally, I can only cover these things from memory...:
Captain
Queeg.

Conservatives did - that's why we sat on our hands in 2006 and 2008.
As Bill Clinton said at the time, "we weren't give a mandate, but an
opportunity."

An opportunity that you've blow.

No, the federal government should protect the borders, keep the states
from bumping into each other, and mostly leave the American people
alone.

But, we've had almost four years to try it your way. When are you
going to produce something except excuses?

That's because Bush hid the war cost off budget. So the only
RESPONSIBLE thing for Obama to do was put it on-budget.

You know, that RESPONSIBILITY thing? that comes so hard to neo-cons?

Obama spent more in his first month in office on the Stimulus Bill
that has been spent on the entire Iraq War.

Your inability to comprehend what I said is so noted. "Crickets.wav"
is a valid response when one responds to other posts in a time frame

That's not "savings", leftard. That's paying down debt. I'll bet you
think when you pay $100 on your $10,000 credit card that means you
have $100 more you can spend because you have a $100 "saved up".

Then why do all of them vote exactly the same?

Then why do they expunge party members for failing ideological purity
tests?

Then why, when Obama handed them a health care reform bill with only
line-items they asked for, they still voted against it?

Fake Bill will run from that and repeat the same meme in a different

It IS hilarious watching a Republican complain about authoritarianism,
though. You know he never would unless he was ordered to.

That depends on how you define the "national debt". Most people
consider it to be the Total Debt Outstanding, which consists of the
Debt Held by the Public and Intra-governmental Holdings.

If you look at the Total Debt Outstanding, it has gone up every year
on an annual basis for decades, including the years when Mr. Clinton
was President.

How are you defining "national debt"?

It's also why they have "holds" on dozens of Obama appointments, and why
they've had more filibusters this term than over the past 200 years.

If they can't rule America, then nobody can govern it.
