I prefer to think of it as a droll comment. Snide? Well, snide is something you're surpassingly good at so I don't try to compete.

And mentioning Bush? Well, mentioning the guy that got us in this mess is both appropriate and germane.

But, yours was the closest to a comment on the OP, so congratulations.

So, you lied then, right?

"The sharp retreat in hiring last month to the slowest pace in more than a year reflects lost economic momentum in the U.S. — and may make the Federal Reserve more reluctant to start raising interest rates as early as June.
The Labor Department report Friday showing just 126,000 new jobs were added in March surprised analysts, who were expecting almost twice that number.
But neither did it raise alarm bells. Economists figured that cold weather and heavy snows exaggerated the decline and that hiring was bound to ease after unsustainable, heady job growth in some recent months.
The unemployment rate held steady at 5.5% and, in a sign that the job market is getting tighter, workers' average wages rose at a faster pace last month."

Bad news for headhunters.

Whell probably wants the economy to tank so a Klown Kar Kandidate has a better chance next year.

Tommy, Tommy, Tommy - all per-programed. Kindly point me to anywhere in this thread where I've blamed anyone for anything.

Yeah, I don't read your every post, so I guess in your world that means I lied. What a tool.

By the way...."surpassingly". Is that even a read word. If so, wow, triple word score for you, John.

Um, you mean the economy isn't in the tank?

Correctimundo. Only an blind ideologue, such as yourself, would characterize 60 plus months of positive job growth and a stock market almost tripling as in the tank.

Don't you realize how ridiculous you look or is self awareness not your strong suit?

If the economy is in the tank we can blame upper management. Companies today no longer invest in R&D but use profits to buy back shares. Our stupid system of quarterly reporting and paying higher management in stock rather than cash has CEOs doing anything and everything to keep Wall Street happy, regardless of whether it is in the best interests of the company or not. Considering that Greenspan and Ryan are disciples of Ayn Rand it is no wonder that things are screwed up. That b***h took nearly a thousand pages to say what Gordon Gekko did in three words.
