Everything is fine. In fact, things are better than ever. I really like the direction the country is taking.

hate to shit on your sandwich Cym Jim but...

Today’s unemployment report shows more than 200,000 new jobs have been added to the economy for the last six months. That’s good news -- until you realize

(1) how badly they pay -- the typical family income in current dollars is $52,959. Factoring in inflation, that's $3,303 less than before the recession — a nearly 6 percent drop;

(2) how many are part-time -- 18.8 percent of all jobs in the U.S. are now part-time. Before the recession, 16.5 percent of all jobs were part time;

(3) how few working-age people have jobs – the labor-force participation rate is the lowest it’s been since 1978, when wives and mothers first began streaming into paid work to prop up family incomes;

(4) how many workers are overqualified for the jobs they do have – most young college graduates are in jobs that require no more than a high-school degree;

(5) how many mortgage holders still owe more on their homes than their homes are worth -- nearly 37 percent, according to the real estate firm Zillow;

(6) how many people are still in poverty – around 15 percent of the population, including 24 percent of the nation’s children; and

(7) how much of the income is concentrated at the top – the best estimate we have is 95 percent of the gains are going to the richest 1 percent.

This is not a strong or balanced economy. We can’t have one until the bottom 90 percent receive a larger slice of the pie.

life is what you make it, isn't it?

if America-hating republicans prefer to sit around and blame all of their problems on the government instead of taking responsibility for their own lives, there isn't much we can really do to convince them otherwise..

on the upside, they do provide for some quality, though predictable, entertainment..   

President Obama's economy has added over 200,000 jobs each month this year... the first time that's happened in 17 years...

of course republicans are going to have a problem with it..
