Following reports that the U.S. economy shed another 95,000 jobs last month, experts finally came up with some encouraging employment news: if hiring trends continue at their current pace, all the jobs lost in this Recession will be recovered...by March, 2020.
And while that's great news for everyone who doesn't starve, go crazy, or lose their job skills over the next decade, it's not exactly the inspirational message that the Democrats want the public to hear just before elections...especially if it causes voters to ask why $800 billion worth of "shovel ready jobs" failed to create even a blip on the unemployment radar.
In the meanwhile, many jobless Americans will have to cut their personal expenses in half if they hope to make it to the year 2020.
And unfortunately, time doesn't fly when your halving funds.

There was good news this weekend when rescuers finished drilling a "rescue shaft" to 33 Chilean miners who have been trapped underground since August 5th. Following safety tests and inspections, it is hoped that the miners can be pulled to freedom within the next few days - far earlier than the previous estimations that they would be stuck until early November.
Sadly, November is still the earliest rescue date for Americans who are still trapped beneath the Democratic super-majority. But while waiting for their freedom, the Americans have kept up their spirits, worked hard on exercising their rights, and have maintained a healthy diet of real news and plenty of Tea.
Whether we're talking about Chilean miners or incumbent Democrats, we can't wait for them to be out...at which point we'll finally be able to enjoy a deep, restorative breath of fresh air.-
It was exactly one year ago that Barack Hussein Obama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize - not because of anything he'd done, but because hopes were so high that he would create peace with his promises to speak reasonably and without preconditions to any politicians in the world, including blood-drenched anti-American lunatics.
Now, Obama's "year to create peace" has passed...and not only has the world gone to hell in a handbasket, but the president and his administration are now personally threatening politicians in our own capitol with physical violence.
Vice president Joe Biden told an audience that "if I hear one more Republican tell me about balancing the budget, I'm going to strangle them."
Not to be outdone, Barack Obama has declared that "a Republican majority in Congress would mean hand-to-hand combat for the next two years."
Of course, the Republicans aren't exactly worried about these threats, which can only be compared to being warned of a potential ass-kicking from Pee-Wee Herman and Barney Fife.
Meanwhile, the Nobel Prize Committee is undoubtedly and justifiably embarrassed by their gullibility in believing the president's meaningless promises. Which is why next year's peace prize should be for "No Bull."-
When the going gets tough, getting tough gets hilarious.
