At this point, I'm just keeping track of it to see how close my projection comes (or how BADLY Obama screws it up).<br /><br />Actually, I can't wait until 23 months are up so I can say, "With only one month to go, now Obama has to create 4 million jobs in one month to reach his target of 4 million new jobs."<br /><br />(:D) Best regards...Hawkeye®https://www.blogger.com/profile/15719046062819366641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12075358.post-1556183710076474042010-09-08T21:15:44.079-04:002010-09-08T21:15:44.079-04:00Possum,

I had my interview today in Maryland. It went pretty well I think, but I found out I'm competing against 4 or 5 other candidates, so who knows. God's will be done.<br /><br />(:D) Best regards...Hawkeye®https://www.blogger.com/profile/15719046062819366641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12075358.post-37009215015460980792010-09-08T17:45:49.902-04:002010-09-08T17:45:49.902-04:00C-A-T,

I was going to say "Dems", but then I remembered that there have been some Dems who were a bit more conservative than the current lot. JFK actually had a tax cut and wanted to strengthen the military (rather than cut it).<br /><br />(:D) Best regards...Hawkeye®https://www.blogger.com/profile/15719046062819366641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12075358.post-31461819411924274232010-09-08T11:29:46.442-04:002010-09-08T11:29:46.442-04:00I think tracking the (lack of) Obama's project...I think tracking the (lack of) Obama's projected progress is an exercise in futility at this point...camojackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07636605293846764764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12075358.post-87804208010689269232010-09-08T03:54:18.150-04:002010-09-08T03:54:18.150-04:00The job interview for Miz P.

I referred to in the post above was obviously <i>yesterday</i>.<br /><br />How hard it is to tell one day from another when stress beckons the return of The Insomnia Monster!<br /><br />The post I deleted was a duplicate of the original, not any raging profanity at the seeming hoplessness of current events.

A front-page article in last week's local fishwrapper [North Georgia News.com] trumpeted that despite earlier lies that our county's unemployment rate is "lower than average" at 8.6%, the actual, adjusted figure is closer to the regional 15%. The community service agency where she works presently is overrun with people humbled with shame and joblessness, asking for handouts from the food pantry she administers.<br /><br />A quick look at the DFACS filing system during her job interview showed it to be literally knee-deep in unread files and applications for food stamps. The traditional "safety net" is unraveling as I write this. The DFACS employee Miz P. <i>might</i> replace is currently being paid with "stimulus" money that will run out at the end of the month.<br /><br />I'm beginning to turn blue from holding my breath, waiting for the "stimulus" lump sum Bobama promised in lieu of the standard COLA every federal retiree, Social Security and SSI recipient has received for the last 30 years. The only jobs the government can "create" is clerical grunt work, to cope with the mass of unemployment and food stamp claims being filed.<br /><br />The public campgrounds all over the state are filled with "Bamavilles" of families who have lost their homes and are living in tents or their cars.<br /><br />Maybe when America starts looking like Biafra or Ethiopia, with starving people dropping dead in the streets, people will sit up, take notice, and do something about the ideological insanity that is destroying us.<br /><br />Then, again, we may be reduced to a Monty Python movie, where filth-covered peasants are trundling carts through the streets, calling "Bring out your dead!"<br /><br />And King Bobama will skip by, followed by a Pelosi-looking lackey with two coconut shells to provide the illusion of a horse, or prosperity, or something.<br /><br />Good luck and God be with ye on the job search.Roberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10658526498243992232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12075358.post-12757514885528259312010-09-07T23:37:58.893-04:002010-09-07T23:37:58.893-04:00Hawkeye, it IS hard to believe that it has been th...Hawkeye, it IS hard to believe that it has been that long. I wish that you could come our way. Our state seems to be doing a whole lot better than others. We actually have jobs.<br /><br />You did an amazing job on the graph. It was good being able to see what has actually been happening. Between unemployment and absolutely insane spending, it is just hard to wrap your brain around it all.
