And this surprises because?

Let's keep adding to the jobless rolls by NOT passing tax cuts for investors or by lowering corporate taxes to the level Ireland currently enjoys, 12%, vs. US @ 35%.
Or cut taxes on all individuals that pay taxes.
No, lets go ahead and spend money on Butterfly Gardens, Eco-Friendly Dog Parks, Frisbee Golf Courses. That's what Liberals care about. That's what's going to save the country.
Resurrected Dinosaur, Senator Bennett, is concerned about people saving money from tax cuts or using it to pay bills?
Can anybody tell me when Bennett joined his fellow insane liberals? For some reason he still puts an (R) next to his name.

Methods for calculating the unemployment rate have changed over the years. That's why it's almost impossible to compare the current figure of 7.6% with earlier periods. If we were to use the same methodology used prior to the Clinton era, unemployment right now would be around 18%.

The sky is falling..

A clever tactic used to suppress the masses.

Tax cuts are useless

You pay more and get less from tax cuts than you would from just throwing money out of an airplane over Utah. Your corporate masters sure love your line of thinking, though.
