Still we see huge lines of people begging for a smattering of open jobs... we also have one of the highest numbers of people collecting food stamps, in the nation meaning those jobs are just that "J.O.B. = Just Over Broke"

yes there has been a feast of bad economic news this month. wall st. continues to ignore it and the banks continue to make huge profits while foreclosures are at an all-time rate, unemployment keeps going up, food prices are going up, the dollar continues its fall, gold is soaring at all-time highs, wages are going down, gas is going back up.. yet somehow because we lost 200,000+ jobs instead of 500,000+ they see this as a sign of progress and the end of our economic woes... talk about spin..
