I would vote for Rommney who would vore for someone who took all are tax money and hurt all out are wallets
QE is done by the Fed not by Obama, block. You know that. Yes, he appointed Greenspan, but prez doesn't control Fed actions. Checks/balances/yadda. And yes, unemployment rose last month from 7.8 to 7.9%, as people rejoined the labor force. Huzzah! Glad to see people back looking for jobs. As long as we keep above 150k new jobs per month, we'll be above the population growth and working toward recovery. We wouldn't ever be Greece. That's such a false analogy.
We do not have 150k jobs a month abbs and i did say Federal Programs, and yes, when you appoint unelected officials, you have to take responsibility for there actionsand you know that. btw, hello
Cut off, sorry. Greece is handcuffed to the Eurozone, can't make own fiscal/monetary decisions. Consider- upon joining EU, Greece had to let labor wages float more and give up all control over currency. Meanwhile, Germany let its labor mkt float too. Result = massive labor cost increases by 2010--Greece couldn't support. Germany got crazy advantage, Greek/Portuguese/Spain/Italy were screwed. Trade flows slowed and reversed. In a closed economic environment like Eurozone, that meant that Greece had no clear way to fix its massive crisis -- huge costs, no exports -- without a bailout or default. In USA, we aren't tied to currency fortunes of other countries. We have the ability to adjust our monetary policy. USA is not Greece. Will never be.
I wouldn't vote at all they just tell you what you want to hear I hate politics but that's just my opinion .__.
Private sector job growth in oct 2012 was 184k jobs. In fact, public sector lost jobs, which is how you get to final 171k number. (This is the BLS number.) if you look at ADP, which is private payrolls only, that figure is 158k. We're at a net loss in public sector jobs over Obama's tenure. As someone who's watched her department gutted and see pay and hiring freezes enter its 3d year, I can bear witness.
Abby, our currency is tied to all markets and currencies. Its a world market and US investments are effected by world market changes. When we lose money in foreign investments, so our dollars respond. Why do you think they have a standard gauge for country debt ratings? Greece agreed to be tied to the EU, it was a choice to no longer be independent and spread the wealth of other countries which benefited them because they contributed so much less in the pool.
Actually, i think. Your numbers are from the CBO, correct? If so, they are only able to determine results by what they are given, and not the actual number depending in who submits the information
Let me see if I can get the link right: http://www.businessinsider.com/jobs-bus ... rm-2012-11 If you like graphs which I do
When Obama says he expects gas prices to rise slowly and new coal plants to not open because the regulations he seeks to impose will bankrupt them, and turn down the Keystone pipeline,thats pretty evident of his inability to lead on an economic front. Btw, have they passed a budget in the first 2 years of his administration? And they had control of both houses. Something stinks, wouldnt you say?
CBO = congressional budget office? No. Labor stats come from BLS (Bureau of Labor Statistics) or ADP (private company). Being the world's biggest currency and having influence over global markets....and being in a currency union are not equivalent.
I commented on QE and Greece issue and jobs numbers. Your tangent on oil/coal is irrelevant to this argument. Back to work my office actually makes money for taxpayers. How about that?
Yes they are, they are choices made by those perspective countries. So yeah, equivalent as far as their choices. Like the one we have tomorrow
I am happy to tell you, block, that we're not about to enter a currency union. So we're STILL safe from the fate of Greece. Yes yes, by all means vote. I'm all for voting.
We are headed in their direction with regards to union base in Greece. Which is my correlation with the USA situation. All decisions have consequences when countries change direction.
