Canada adds 93,000 jobs in June.

http://www.theglobeandmail.com/report-on-business/canada-adds-93000-jobs-in-ju ne/article1633942/

The Canadian jobs machine kept powering ahead in June, as the economy created 93,000 new positions and unexpectedly pushed the unemployment rate below 8 per cent for the first time since January of 2009.

The whopping employment gain reported by Statistics Canada, split about evenly between full- and part-time jobs, was nearly five times as big as economists had anticipated and came after increases of roughly 109,000 in April and 25,000 in May. The jobless rate dropped to 7.9 per cent from 8.1 per cent.

Tell you what cathy.

Since you don't like the Conservative Harper...even though he's straightened out the Canadian economy...I'll trade you O'Bomber, O'Biden, Hillary, Nancy Pee-Lousy, Harry Reid, Eric Holder and the entire gaggle of Progressive Congressional demoscats...for Harper.

In January 2009...when O'Bomber and his comrades infested the White House, the unemployment rate was 7.6%.

In the last 18 months, the comrades have managed to drive unemployment rates above 10% and it would be above 10% now had not millions of Americans become discouraged and stopped looking for a job. When that happens, they're dropped off the unemployment statistics.

The current 9.5% unemployment rate is down from 9.8% only because 655,000 Americans stopped looking for work and were dropped from the rolls..in the month of the report.

O'Bomber has spent $860,000,000,000 supposedly on a jobs stimulus bill and all we have to show for it is even higher rates of unemployment....oh, and almost a trillion dollars in additional debt Americans and their kids and grandkids will have to pay back in the form of higher taxes on everything they buy.

O'Bomber has spent almost a trillion dollars and lost almost 3 million jobs.

Compared to O'Bomber, Bush is a economic genius. O'Bomber is an economic pin-head.

In fact, Bush did produce a booming economy right up until the time in late 2008 when Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac had to be bailed out for making bad mortgage loans decreed by demoscats to people who didn't have sufficient income to meet their mortgage payments.

Those Bush tax cuts...which were across all income levels...actually increased tax receipts to the federal treasury by almost 20%. Further, those tax cuts kicked off the economic boom enjoyed in America by Americans for most of 6 years.

I know you and the comrades in the White House and congress believe a 100% tax rate would increase tax receipts to the federal government but all it would do is what tax increases always do. Tax increases destroy investment and destroys the ability of small businesses to create jobs. Small business is where 75% of all new jobs are created.

55% of Americans believe Socialist is a good descriptive word to describe O'Bomber politically.

and like the fox pundits you will readily contradict yourself if you think it will reflect badly on your targets. whatever. you will even use the fact that the left is disappointed in obama to attempt to add weight to your case that he is a leftist.

no one has increased the tax rate lately. but you will not convince me that all our problems started when the brownface was elected whatever you do. so give it up. history and life are a little more complicated than black and white, OR red and blue...munchkin.

I have figured out that you are always in defense of Socialists, including O'Bomber, socialist concepts, like a Socialist Health Care System and socialist hot button emotional issues, like so called social justice and so called economic justice. All these you have defended.

"which is that i am not here to be a Hater, but to deflate the hate"...katatonic

"Sarah Palin has been indicted in Alaska"...katatonic

"how about sarah the impaler? or better yet -the alaska gasbag?"...katatonic

"they should disabuse themselves of the notion that anyone takes the lady seriously at all. she is a non-starter. despite the apparent awe in which she is held, she is at the end of the day a common-garden opportunist, who rode roughshod over all the rules when mayor and governor and basically dared people to sue her "...katatonic

"she'll probably quit soon anyHOO and she is already a laughing stock around the world."...katatonic

"and obama has not "taken on" palin on any issue...she is not worth the notice 99% of the time"...katatonic

"of course sarah palin cannot understand a single thing obama does. she had to try 5 colleges to find one that would graduate her"...katatonic

"sarah palin is cunning with a facile brightness that deceives...apparently a lot of religious right voters and men 20+ years her senior. as per usual the majority of the american public may prefer her to someone more thoughtful and careful not to jump from frying pan to fire, but that doesn't mean she is "intelligent" or has "common sense"....katatonic

"not here to be a hater"?

"here to deflate the hate"?

An example of leftist love by the angry left who despise Sarah Palin.

as to your other points, i have not so much been defending the left as deconstructing your lies and oversimplifications. but i don't expect you to see it any other way. the fact that i think SOME regulation is necessary - as in a completely "FREE" market the big boys swallow up the small fry and then there IS no "free" market - and that i have seen universal healthcare to be a good thing when done right; do not make me particularly leftist. the fact that i understand that reagan"s "no one shall be denied healthcare" means we are all ALREADY paying for the health of the indigent doesn't make me a leftist, but a pragmatist. the fact that i think the healthcare "reform" we GOT stinks is lost on you, and the fact that it could have been a good thing if there were some input from the "other" side, equally obscured.

i guess what it boils down to is this...i believe that "government is the problem" was a smokescreen used by someone who really GREW the government while deregulating business and giving the go ahead for people to be ENCOURAGED to live beyond their means which led to inflation and the subsequent crash of what was basically a hollow "boom" balloon.

as to palin, well she IS a joke around the world, and she has been doing her best around the world to undermine the government of her country. that would be called treason in a lot of places but you think she is a patriot and the "real deal"...not sure why you can't see how easy it is to criticize someone who is doing what you can't. or how you can say she has beaten obama when the facts are OBVIOUSLY that he beat her...

i like obama. that doesn't mean i agree with everything he's done. you see i understand something ms palin hasn't figured out yet - that getting to the white house doesn't change everything instantly, and the game is a lot more complex than she can even fathom...but you seem to be able to understand that the "left" don't like him and still insist he is a socialist of the worst kind. THAT, munchkin, is not even rational.

there's a big difference between being president and being visible opposition. for one thing the opposition doesn't have to deal with reality, just speculation. and the reality is that the political mess and corruption is so intricate that it resembles a minefield for anyone trying to actually achieve anything in the white house. again, just ask kennedy. he is a major symbol of what happens to those who attempt to buck the system directly.

Your claims are entirely bogus as they relate to Sarah Palin. Sarah Palin is not viewed as a joke around the world. Leftists despise Palin for the simple reason they fear her.

You mistake the rantings of the few, the leftists as being the general themes around the world and they're not.

Palin's speech in Hong Kong to CLSA Asia Pacific Markets, a division of Paris-based Credit Agricole SA was well received by investors there as she laid out a foreign markets policy...free markets...as in Capitalism..for the United States and Asia.

Palin isn't attempting to undermine America. That's what O'Bomber and the Comrades in Congress are doing.

Palin is undermining O'Bomber and his Socialist pals...and doing a damn fine job of it too.

You, as usual continue to be ill informed..as one would expect considering your choice of news sources.

the quotes you posted show only one thing...that i object to your obvious infatuation with someone by pointing out that she is worse than useless, puffed up with her own celebrity, etc. full stop. i've said enough times that i wouldn't run for office for anything, so why would i be jealous? mayor of the meth capital of alaska, that is some kudos.

Thanks for the misogynist viewpoint acoustic.

Your statements...which I posted katatonic show you are not here to deflate hate but rather to fan the flames.

Here katatonic, let's add this one to the list.

careful jwhop, keep trying to stop me exercising my right to free speech and i will start a palin style campaign against you, until everyone you know thinks YOU are a socialist!! oh i am sooo hateful.

but you still have your national health. has the whole government gone over to the conservatives or was he elected for his standout qualities? in other words do you operate on a similar-to-england system or more like us, where the head of state is voted for by people not just his party?

edit: ok i have just looked it up and see that the queen is still the "monarch" and ultimate "ruler" though you have a parliamentary democracy similar to england...so how long have the conservatives been in power and how has this changed the government? are they privatising the national health system? or not? etc...
