Jobless data sends stocks reeling; Dow loses 223

These joblosses have nothing to do with increasing productivity. They come from failing businesses. Therefore Stocks SHOULD fall. The supposed turn-about is still a long ways off. We must actually hire more than we fire, if we expect to reach a level of profitability as a whole.

Obama is clueless | 9:50 a.m. July 2, 2009

Obamanomics will take this country into further debt which will raise taxes and kill the economy. Taxing companies and the people who create jobs kills the economy. Wake up and smell what you voted for. Cap and Trade will be the biggest tax increase in the history of this country. Hopefully you moronic Obama supporters are starting to wake from your ignorance. We definitely have CHANGE!!!!!!

How long before you Obama lovers realize he just gave away $500 million of our taxpayer dollars with the promise it would stimulate job growth, when in reality it was given without any intelligent plan to help the economy and much of the money went to pay back those that got him elected? This administration is going to drive our economy even further down and we'll be paying dearly for his mistakes for years and years. What a shame that people believe the hype they hear in the media about this clown and actually would vote for him.

What's 500m. between friends? He meant well. Now he'll have to come up with a way to pay that off. Any ideas?

Oh please by the time Obama took office GWB had this country in such a mess Obama inherited GWB's 8 years of poor leadership. Don't act like this all happened under Obama's watch as a matter of fact GWB pushed through the first government bailout before he left office. I don't like Democrates or Rebuplicans but I'm not going to sit here and listen to people claiming total GWB had nothing to do with this.
