#1 The problem is that BLS models appear to have grossly overestimated the number of new businesses that opened during the recession.

John Galt phone home. It's called regulatory risk, welcome to Obamaville.

#3 When the words "Obama" & "think tank" appear in a news story, it leads one to think of a septic tank, holding the smelliest sewage ever to come from the Whitehouse.

If everyone in this situation does this, the unemployment figures will jump up dramatically! Send a message to Congress and O'Bumble!

* CHINESE MIL FORUM > DER SPEIGEL > CHINA HAS A PLAN, AMERICA DOESN'T | DAYS OF CHEAP MONEY ARE OVER FOR USA | DROWNING IN DEBT: WHAT THE NATION'S BUDGET WOES MEAN FOR YOU?

ARTICS > US DEBT = US DEBT-TO-GDP RATIO comprised over 1/2 of 2009 GDP. Is anticipated to grow over 200% of curr GDP by Year 2038.
