And if you dig a little deeper... past all the spin... you'll find the truth...
Those jobs could be lost in January and the unemployment rate might rise as Americans who had abandoned the hunt for work are lured back into the labor market.
Those who are economically challenged just look at some base line numbers and can make up all sorts of positive spin. But when you look at ALL the factors involved, all the metrics, it's not a rosy as it seems. Of course... it's good enough for politics.
But, that's what you guys wanted... CUT, CUT, CUT... Screw the people that get cut.. as long as the deficit is reduced! Whassamatta U? All of a sudden if it's people getting cut that you don't want to see cut, it's a "bad thing"? But if it's people that you are for cutting, it's okay?

I have no problem with these military people getting cut and losing their jobs... do you?
And LJ You are the one always preaching about cutting the military.
Yes it needs it.
However how can you take a victory on the unemployment #'s when you are fixing to go double digit again.
Let me know when the double-digit happens... In the meantime, why yes... I AM for cutting the military. However, I'm not one of the hypocrites who only complains when there is a group of people they support who are the ones being cut, and suddenly go "Boo-hoo-hoo" that a whole bunch of people are suddenly going to be on the unemployment lines....but only if they are military...
Excuse me, while I look for my crying towel... I'm concerned about ALL of the people on the unemployment line..Not just the military.
Military are people too, and they add to the # of unemployed, meanwhile the current admin, is harping about how they have lowered the unemployment rate by creating jobs. Which is ? anble.

well I do have a problem with it. So the wars that CIVILIANS started and because we needed to increase the force levels they did so quickly. So now we get told Sorry we used and abused you, sent you into combat, and now the hell with you we don't need you anymore.
BULLSH*T, so what about those that are good enough to possibly have a career. Where we need to start is with all those useless civilians sitting around all the congress persons office. Reduce them down. then we can start with all the different dept From State dept all the way through the DOD, get rid of all those who are duplicating jobs.
Then and only after that is done should we start talking about the military. Alot will retire anyway. Many more will get out through normal attritition. I for one am damn tired of hearing how the Military needs to shoulder the lack of ability of the idiots up in congress who cannot do their own damn jobs. Hell we can't even get a balanced budget on time. There is alot of other areas within DOD that can also be looked at to save billions of dollars.

Right on brother! :thumbsup:
The left is angry because they are now being judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin.
