By TomTGRWolcott / June 24, 2012 /

Just two short years ago, seems longer to me, the Obama administration hailed that it was to be “The Summer of Recovery”.   The stimulus bill was passed by congress, both the house and senate, of course it was alL under the control of the Democrats. WILD and EXOTIC claims were made that this new law would…

President Obama held a press conference on friday, speaking of how the economy was doing. The president had this to say about Job Creation. “The truth of the matter is we’ve created 4.3 million jobs over the last 27 months, over 800,000 just this year alone.

Amid all of Øbama’s recent student loan rate histrionics in an attempt to buy the votes of college audiences and Jimmy Fallon, I came across this gem of a story on college tuition increases which was briefly mentioned on the WTIC news yesterday.

Well, there’s a shock. The new economist in chief at the White House, Austan Goolsbee tells ABC’s This Week, don’t look for unemployment to fall. Actually he also wouldn’t make any predictions about how many jobs the President’s new stimulus would create? In fact, he pretty much didn’t say much except, well, trust me, this…

Why should I be surprised? The economy is expected to have created a boatload of jobs … except it’s not the economy, it’s the census, and it’s not the census … it’s how the census jobs are counted. If they can’t count jobs correctly, how can they be expected to count people?

By Jim Vicevich / February 4, 2009 /

I found the White House Press briefing just a little disturbing today. Reporters continued to note throughout the presser that public opinion is turning against the Porkapalooza … as we have noted here. But when it came to the question of changing the bill substantially (perhaps cutting tax rates for people and business or at…

Furloughed federal workers in Oregon will keep unemployment cash, plus regular salary

By Steve McGough / October 21, 2013 /

I had a conversation with a few people at the onset of the federal government partial shutdown and let them know many federal employees would qualify for unemployment depending on the state. Some said I was wrong – and still won’t admit I was right – but now we learn the at least 1,300 employees…
