US economy ended 2011 at a healthy pace

- And in another report, MSNBC is reporting that manufacturers beefed up inventories to a point it will hurt future growth. You have to laugh. We have about 2 years maximum before the whole show goes down in a heap.
S&P says likely to declare Greece in default
Tue Jan 24, 2012
- Blah, blah and triple blah. Greece is a contagion that will affect Italy and then probably Spain. Look, no government can spend more than it takes in over a long period of time. Greece is our future if we don't do something about it this year.
Cracker Barrel founder Dan Evins dead at 76

- I love the Cracker Barrel. My wife, son and I always stop there to eat when we are on the road. Good food at a reasonable price. I know it's not a fancy restaurant, but it is good food. They are right up there with Chik Fil-A as far as sticking to something that works and leading with purpose.
Role reversal: Employers say they can't find workers

- Drug screenings are a major issue for our drivers. Trying to find a driver w/o a drug past is next to impossible anymore.
Few part-timers, but more are working multiple jobs

- Auto, where are you getting the info that 3-4.5 million are hired every month? If we are adding 75-100K people into the workforce each month, we'd have zero unemployment in no time. If we have approximately 14 million people unemployed, there would be few people without jobs in no time at all.

- Marlen? Really? It's time for socialism? Isn't that what your dear leader Obama is doing right now. He has stood in the way of business for every day he has been in office. That's why we are where we are now. Occupy missed the boat as it wasn't Wall Street that was causing the problems.
Holiday season over, jobless claims jump
Thu Jan 12, 2012
- MSNBC obviously doesn't look behind the curtain and only mimics what the dems want them to say. Weak demand after everyone put their x-mas on the card will shatter any chance of a rebound in the next year. Don't forget that we have a battle coming up in CONgress over the debt limit issue yet again.

- Roll while you can. Fact is, the US has lost approximately 532K jobs based on pop growth and actual working population. See, when Clinton was in office, he and the republicans retooled the unemployment calculation.

- More government lies I see. By their own numbers, the working age population went from 240.441million to 240,584 millionm- an increase of 143 K. Then, the number of employed went from 141,070 million to 140,681 million.
Obama defies GOP by naming new consumer watchdog

- Let's see if Congress has the guts to stand up to the tyrant in chief. Congress is currently in a Pro-forma session and has not been gavelled "sin Die". So, this appointment is being made while Congress IS in session.
