White collar criminals is a very soft word for our elected officials.I always thought I had a handle on things but with any average American we do not have the education to see through all Bulls**t.In all very few educated individuals take the steps and research and most important BALLS to even print this.I highly dought tea-baggers even know a bit of this they are so hung up on Health Care Reform and I know they don't even understand it.The red flag on that subject was the jobs they said would come from modernizing their computers to save money.No mention of drug prices,hospital billing or anything that would acually bring down prices.My career as a Union Ironworker is a litmus test for the economy,being what I build says alot,went from commercial buildings and large condos to bridges and you guessed it HOSPITALS.When O when will facts like these come out from standard media,well at least thanx to you guys at least my family freinds and I will be aware.
Maybe stimulus funds have something to do with zones of strong middle class people; i.e. unions, strong manufacturing base. I see MI ranked 16th. But I guarantee the funds are being diverted from states with middle class blue collar workers so that those jobs can continue to disappear and those people can return to lives of subsistent 3rd world living standards.
Bravo my friend. you truly get it. It's more than "democrats vs. republicans". These people are running things and choosing our destiny's. And yet those tea-bagger people would say this is ok and "as long as they leave me alone". But their actions affect us all. This is not democracy.
I wanna be a member!
The Huffington Post has on their front page, in big bold letters TONE DEAF about the Obama administration as well as former treasury secretaries on the lack of jobs and the economy.
Rubins is one of them, no surprise, of course he's tone deaf, he's one of the original architects of destroying the U.S. economy and middle class!
There are many stories, to the point it was obviously common practice, where employees first had to train their replacements before being fired.
So, it's more brazen in that the American literally had to train a foreign worker to do their job, sometimes it took months due to the complexity of the skills involved.
So, that right there shows, they are not interested in Americans who have the skills. This is all about technology transfer to India and China. India, especially has made heavy inroads to state and federal government agencies, all with the agenda, including lobbying, to get American jobs.
I worked in IT Relocation in the early 1990's. After being trained in Taiwan and India, workers came through Canada to the US. We hired no US workers because the training had been done off-shore to the US corporate specifications. This was a bitter pill for me. My husband was part of a massive mid-level computer corporate lay-off in the mid-1980's. Most of us never recovered "1st class" status. Of course it is economical for the corporations to eliminate their expense for training. Here in California one would think the universities could have covered some of it. There is a story here that is ugly and still pushed by the IT sector against the US worker.
I can't help but wonder if these corporations who are shipping all their jobs overseas, and thus helping to destroy the middle class, have thought past the end of their noses? Who are they going to sell their products to, in this country, if the middle class is gone? Seriously, am I missing something here?
Socialism for the Rich means the Rich keep the winnings when they win and the public pay when the Rich lose. Nice game, when you can buy politicians at 2 cents on the dollar.
You are absolutely correct. Those jobs were in US soil before they started going to China, Mexico, Viet Nam, India, etc It is US companies that do that. The government is trying to revamop the economy and reduce unemployement, but there is no way that is going to happen unless those jobs come back home...and they won't.
This is as much a national security issue as any other, and I believe the federal government should stop this bleeding as soon as possible.
but I think they are right, due to reading the FHA press release that this is a big rumor plant to pre-announce the FHA plan. In other words, they announce "help for the middle class" that isn't any help at all, and now that HAMP has been exposed, we get yet another one.
For myself, the ultimate of using taxpayer dollars to train people in order to offshore outsource U.S. jobs says it all on this administration.
Some form of mass debt forgiveness could be a good thing, and could help jump start the economy. However, it would be difficult to implement it equitably.
Of course this is all moot since there is no way this administration will ever do anything that's not in the best interests of the multinational corporations and the banks who want to make sure we live in perpetual indentured servitude.
I read a wonderful article on free market ecnomics by an Australian economist. While I personally believe that economics is not a science because it fundamentally doesn't reflect a good understanding of money as a FORCE (see Black Swan), I did like this article. It explains that Adam Smith was a philosopher deeply involved in the study of ethics as well as economics. Smith knew and explained many times that a "free market" could never work without a strong foundation of ethics to keep it in proper check. You can be sure that Smith would never have approved of PREDATORY CAPITALISM because it was the anti-thesis of the world that he wanted to live in.
Right now, we have trillions of dollars of debt built by wars and other activities that have nothing to do with the lives, liberties or happiness of the American people. If they were asked about things like MK Ultra, they would have vetoed these programs. IF they were asked about killing heads of state to accomplish business deals that amounted to ROBBING other countries, they would have vetoed these things.
The things that I just mentioned are Odious debt created by Predatory Capitalism. The debts attributed to these things should be repudiated by the American people, but I am not so sure that they should not be billed to the Shadowy banksters who pushed for their creation.
They have some statistical algorithms (X12 or something) which spin out the adjustments and they don't offer up even the formulas that I can find. One way to do it is just ignore SA completely but that's not valid either because we know there are seasonal adjustments, it's common sense to level out the year seasons and events.
Again Robert you have educated us on another subject that has been held in secret from everyday citizens that wouldn't subscribe too.From what I have seen in the past year and a half is the culmination of greed of the very rich and people in power in our government from years of deception and propoganda to keep us in the dark.Worst part is that people from these country's think we are aware of these things when we are not for the most part.The one thing that stands out is the parallel's with the history of Indonesia and what our country is going through right now.Time to ouster the bum's out NOW.
What kills me on this story is firstly it sounds like someone was on the payroll as CEO eye candy, minimum. But more, there is so much sexual harassment and discrimination, especially in high tech and nothing happens. One can just look at the statistics, where over 50% of technical women are out of their careers 10 years after graduation to get a good sense of what's going on. Obviously that's plain old fashioned discrimination, but then again, some discrimination comes in the form of sexual hostility, harassment.
Must be juicy for a corporate board to lift a finger. and check out the guy's severance package. Look, you've done wrong, you're fired...and yes you're set for life, now go to the Bahamas, buy a yacht and think about what a bad boy you've been.
Its about time some one done something,someone shoul also show this to the President

Wow, that explains the gushing corporate agenda infomercials, disguised as interviews.
The Huffington Post has on their front page, in big bold letters TONE DEAF about the Obama administration as well as former treasury secretaries on the lack of jobs and the economy.
Rubins is one of them, no surprise, of course he's tone deaf, he's one of the original architects of destroying the U.S. economy and middle class!
Anyway, big bold letters about sums it up.
Brother can you spare a job?

Just shows don't believe the GDP numbers. They've always been too reliant on estimation to be very useful.
Stick with the *really* low-level data from the surveys, and do even the seasonal corrections yourself. :-P

Unreal.
I commented briefly on the revisions, but over at Naked Capitalism we have someone who graphed them all out.
