Senate Democrats Declare Victory Over Winter Weather, Praise Collapse In Jobless Rate
Statement from JEC Vice Chair Klobuchar on April 2014 Employment Report
U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), Vice Chair of the U.S. Congress Joint Economic Committee (JEC), released the following statement on the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ April 2014 jobs report showing that 288,000 total nonfarm jobs were added and the unemployment fell from 6.7% to 6.3%:
"After a long hard winter it is good news that the employment numbers are picking up.
To hit the lowest unemployment rate in five and a half years is a positive sign as we move into the summer season that should bring more construction and tourism jobs.
Many American families are still struggling with high costs of housing, childcare and college and we need to continue our work to give them a fair shot."
Where are the banners proclaiming Mission Accomplished?

Shit.... These are probably the same people that believe in god.
And the tooth fairy, Santa Claus, unicorns, etc....
And Osama Bin laden.
Like all investments, Obama's investments in the economy have taken a while to pay off, but now the specacular results are shining through for all to see. We are finally witnessing the accelerated economic growth that many analysts have been predicting for years. It's simple: Record Investments = Record Growth. Why do zerohedgers have to make economics so complicated?
Growth in what? Prison populations? People not in the labor force? Food stamp usage? Medicare enrollment? Yes, nice work MDB! Glad I took your advice and went long black markets and sharecropping. You were correct, slavery is making a big comeback, no doubt about it now.
Nice work.
Global WARMING makes record cold, and the record cold caused by the warming all over the entire world (GLOBAL WARMING) causes job loss......what is so hard to understand?
I mean we are all smart enough to put water into our ovens when we want to make ice cubes, right?
Yep, both parties are the same, but the Socialist Semite Democrat media only lies for one of them.....because they are the same.......right?
It's a shame that some people don't have a clue about how stupid they sound.....(see "90's Child's Childish post below) I can't believe how many idiots repeat this stupidity!
Go look up the definition of sarcasm asshat. Yes, some people do say stupid shit, thanks for the demo.
CAGW is a cooked-up governmental problem, whose ONLY solution involves the confiscation of my money and a life-style tending towards that of a cave man ...
Slavery/serfdom making a comeback ? Hell, it never ended.
Their 'money' is an illusion. Made up out of nothing with computer keystrokes. So, they literally loan . . . nothing.
This is no different than some king on a throne passing out 'royal decrees'. (They must be 'legit' because the king's 'official' seal is on them !) Their royal decrees are in the form of fiat nothings. On them might as well be printed "The king gives you this official looking paper, and you give him the goods you produce & your labor services . . . serf. Now bend over, the king is feeling frisky ! " (And 'kings' are also a fraud - - - nothing but a gangster who saw that people, for some reason, respect symbols such as crowns.)
Its really quite hilarious when you think about it. I can't help laughing out loud when I hear people say "We gotta pay our national 'debt'. " And when this whole thing collapses, they'll try to replace the old b.s. royal decrees with other ones - SDRs or whatever.
The joke's on us, because we never understood the comedy.
"Naked Slavery" that better?
The debt is a complete fraud by the way.
Those of us who have known this have done quite well.
@LawofPhysics -I was agreeing w/ you. We're on the same side.
New ZHers may not know this stuff.
Because people don't know how money works, they're enslaved - as you know
I can't wait for teh shooting to start.....MillionDollarBonus_ will be running for the hills....
"That's Fucking Interesting" - The Dude
"Yeah, well, that's just like, your opinion man." The Dude
I'll take "the winter is over for $400", Alex.
I usually refrain from commenting, but...
We really ought to just ignore this half-steppin' fucktard (MillionDollarBonus) for the betterment of this site---fuck this piece of shit, walk away, and don't fuck your shoes up stepping over this money-hungry fool.
Sero sed serio
Don't feed the trolls. There was a sign above the door on the way in.
MBD is a long time Sarc Master on ZH.
Sit back and enjoy the jokes. Anyone can use a laugh today, right ? :)
BTW - MBD knows its sarc, but some people out there actually believe & say the same kinda things he spoofs. Crazy.
I'd like to finish this sentence: Many American families are still struggling with high costs of housing, childcare and college ...
... due to unbridled greed and government intervention into the free markets.
Are you an idot? Democrats are godless communist!
It appears you are.
There is no Red / Blue team. It's all one.
Serfs up Sheep.
Your sarcasm meter is broken. I know all about the red/blue illusion. The politicians only worship at the altars of narcassim, power and money. But they are just trained monkeys that dance to the tune of the Bankster organ grinders.
Did you know that red and blue mixed together makes purple?
Sorry, just popped in my head.
pods
Purple, like that retarded pedophile dinosaur. This actually explains a lot.
Dude, since you have kids, have you ever seen the commercials for Yo Gabba Gabba?
The red one looks like a sex toy. Le Tickler de Francais!
(Wife showed me the commercial, cause she rocks.)
pods
I think the fact that he's a "one-eyed monster" means he is a sex toy.
oh yeah, my wife and I call this peka pig. I can't make this shit up!

My father always said. "There is no red or blue. It's all purple"
Purple, the color of the bruises we get from all this ?
Yeah, . . . that makes sense.
Stupid is as 90's Child Posts!!
How idiotic.
Basic information before leaving earth.
/sarc
These people just have no shame.
I mean, Clinton used to spin stuff. That was fine. It was kinda cool he dropped one all over that chubby intern.
But this? Come on. This isn't even funny anymore. Baghdad Bob had more credibility.
pods
I don't know about them, but I do. My guess is their gods are money and power.
Shit.... These are probably the same people that believe in god.
hit a soft spot there did ya?
Next time try following up with 'It's Obama's fault' or throw in the word negro.
Will soften the blow.
Satan knows God, and ask him for permission to wreak havok.
Job 1:6 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them. 7 And the LORD said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it. 8 And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that [there is] none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil? 9 Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, Doth Job fear God for nought? 10 Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land. 11 But put forth thine hand now, and touch all that he hath, and he will curse thee to thy face. 12 And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, all that he hath [is] in thy power; only upon himself put not forth thine hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of the LORD.
Sound like this may be happening in America? Only difference is we are no where near as esteemed as Job!!
I am not once to judge, but I do belive that at least 50% of Americans need to perish just to get us back to a God fearing society......I fear that day may be coming soon. God is not pleased.
The fudge packer in chief is wearing new clothes! The fudge packer in chief is wearing new clothes!
high cost of ,,,, healthcare
Ok. If everything is so great then why are interest rates at zero?
they've successfully killed the will of many americans' desire to work, as witnessed in the drop of labor participation rate. and they pat themselves on the back for this? fucking criminal. makes putin look like a cuddly teddy bear.
.... what's the need to work for? free EBT cards, free fudgepackerfuns, free fudgepacker care,free this, free that, etc, etc, etc.... the equivalent income for a fudge packer free loader is higher than the average tax paying U.S. citizen serf and peasant......what's not to like with that? .... frackin free paid vacation courtesy the tax paying U.S. citizen serfs and peasants.... woohoo....
You need only pay attention to what they tell you to.
Now that it's not winter, what excuse will there be for lousy numbers?
Alien invasion, asteroids, hemorrhoids???
Like I said earlier. It's time to bring the poll numbers up..... it's the economy stupid. When it gets serious, you have to lie.
Then apparently it's been serious for 5 years because the lying hasn't stopped yet.
Obama lies EVERY.CHANCE.HE.GETS!
Fuck yeah Doc. Time for some selfies and an hashtag.
#United for Americorp, Inc.
Next a 3 minute press conference with no questions and then off to stroke some balls. All in a day's work.
"stroke some balls."
Is that what obama calls spending quality time with Reggie Love?
The difference now is that the lies have gone all the way down through an engulfed government agencies who are supposed to be non-partisan.
Everybodys All ...
Pretty sure that it's NOT dictated that any government agencies are supposed to be non-partisan; they exist to advance their own causes AND THOSE OF THEIR PUPPETEERS. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_politics
CAN'T YOU JUST FEEL THE PROSPERITY? FEEL IT, FEEL IT YOU SLAVE!

We need another Paul Wellstone funeral/political convention to bring the love!
Good news! Now the Fed can eliminate QE.
why........
''QE, for lack of a better word, is good. QE is right. QE works. QE clarifies, cuts through, and captures, the essence of the evolutionary spirit. QE, in all of its forms; QE for life, for money, for love, knowledge, has marked the upward surge of mankind and QE, you mark my words, will not only save the banksters, but that other malfunctioning corporation called the U.S.A..''

Fuck off...

Things are picking up. I noticed that my weekly chocolate ration was raised to 20 grams. :)
Can't wait until a real improvement... Government insolvment
This is our first post in a long time and felt compelled to ask: Are people like this Congress Women (i.e. moron) really this stupid ? We got it... it's a rhetorical question. These people are so out-of-touch with reality.
Hope everyone at ZH are doing well out there. Good luck.
We'all going to die
LOL, sad thing is your statement is one of the few things you can really trust to happen.
did you see the wacky market reaction to this morning's job report? everyone knows the report is bogus yet everyone of them, plays along like it's truth. it's about political power and making profit in the markets. it will remain this way until the people rise up.
It's just a made up number and this idiot politican (yes, redundunt) doesn't even know what it means. Anything "measured" can be improved or faked.
Remember, politics is just acting for ugly people.
someone kneecap that self-serving mother fukker!
"After a long hard winter"
First winter we've had in decades.
It even snowed in the Northeast.
Shocked I tell ya
If they really cared they'd commit mass seppuku.
Shit flows downhill.
I think what the government will find, eventually, is that shit actually flows uphill.
Is this an Onion article?
Of course they praise it, and they have already sent out the scripts to all the MSM Government News agency's for the 5 o'clock BS fest. Remember its 6 months to the November elections and most if not all this BS is voter strategy.
The key here will the Voting Populous buy it? I have my doubts. The Dems are the party of Fakery and after this has run it course they are finished.
Just waiting and praying that the republicans get in power. Then things will change.
If they had control of the Senate, House, and POTUS, man that would be the bomb! (NSA - just a saying)
Shite, if they can just get control of the house, I am sure the Republicans would really make some changes for the better.
I won't hold my breath on this comment.
Bill of Rights It's all one party, not two. They take turns, and the agenda's all agreed upon, ad infinitum.
If the red team was in office, the jobs report would be good news and the blue team would complain . Since the blue team is 'in power', the jobs report is good news and the red team will complain. It's quite amazing people still believe politicians care about anything other than getting re-elected.
The root of the problem is at these government agencies who employ lifetime bureaucrats who are willing accomplices to the progressives agenda of an ever expanding federal government. The federal government now accounts for well over 20% of the entire US gdp. This will end in tears most assuredly.
... the day the pay checks dry up for all the lfetime can never be fired guvt bureaucrats as well as for the fudge packer freeloaders, every tax paying U.S. citiizen should go dancing naked in the streets...
just like vietnam in the end. declare victory and go home.
And leave behind a shattered country in your wake
Peak stupidity????
The future is so bright we have decided to start handing out sunglasses!
These idiots need to be voted out and replaced with people who have thinking brains.

I'd love the chance to be able to give these politicians a 'fair shot'.
HEALTHY UNEMPLOYMENT RATE = < 3.0 - 3.5%
Remember this!
Healthy Unemployment Rate for Low Pay and No Benefits, Rights, or Respect.
The One We Have Now
"...average monthly number of job adds is 172K.. ...average monthly number of people who drop out of the labor force since February 2010? 175K
Math is never easy to compile on a ledger, when the FED can print by debasing a currency. It’s all rainbows and pixie dust at the end of the day.
"Young At Heart"
Fairy tales can come true, it can happen to you
If you're young at heart.
For it's hard, you will find, to be narrow of mind
If you're young at heart.
You can go to extremes with impossible schemes.
You can laugh when your dreams fall apart at the seams.
And life gets more exciting with each passing day.
And love is either in your heart, or on it's way.
Don't you know that it's worth every treasure on earth
To be young at heart.
For as rich as you are, it's much better by far
To be young at heart.
And if you should survive to 105,
Look at all you'll derive out of being alive!
And here is the best part, you have a head start
If you are among the very young at heart.
[Musical interlude]
And if you should survive to 105,
Look at all you'll derive out of being alive!
And here is the best part, you have a head start
If you are among the very young at heart.
Next week they'll be screaming about needing to extend unemployment benefits for 1000 weeks and raising the minimum wage to $50/hr.
Seattle is well on the way to $15 per hour, the mayor just announced.
'Senate Democrats praise collapse'......there headline fixed.
The scary thing about this is that the propaganda media is starting to acknowledge that "unemployment is down, but those not working is way up."
The general rule is: if they have to admit it, even tacitly, things are really bad.
If you don't yet have gold, silver, steel and lead, you're way behind.
