The Other Hand

While The White House and Congress and the Media are focused on the debt ceiling mess it is conveniently avoiding talking about and dealing with Friday's big news.

9.2 % (counted) unemployment

Only 18,000 jobs created in June

8 million jobs lost during the "recession"

14.1 million (counted) unemployed

44,000 fewer jobs created in April and May than previously reported

Average workweek fell to 34.3 hours from 34.4

Underemployment jumped from 15.4 % to 16.4 %

Dear Professional Politicians,

Americans aren't going to give a shit who was in office when they lost their jobs and the bottom fell out of their lives.

They are going to care who was in office when they were trying to find a job and struggling to get their lives back in order.

Just sayin'. . .

When you've got nothing, you've got nothing to lose.
The a$$hole politicians that caused/helped all this to happen better have their exile country picked out and the jets warmed up when the SHTF.

That's the point -- avoiding talking about what's happening to WE THE PEOPLE on the ground.
