same old junk, GOP House passes what GOP House wants, without any regard to compromise on issues that would actually have a bill make it to WH. Any majority can do that then blame the opposition for not doing anything. Crybaby bar-sweep posing as Speaker using back-room (more like Men's room) maneuvers that have no intention of full body support isn't America's business, it's just GOP business, as usual.

I Is Just Me usually trots out GOP side of any issue and expects all to fall in line, typical GOP thinking, nothing new here. Unless Mitt the Twit Romney pulls a flip-flop and GOP types scramble to recover in saying all along that's what they meant to say.

Mitt the Twit Romney hasn't anything new, just off-the-shelf canned rhetoric once dusted off and served hot becomes a so-called new GOP platform for 2012. His horse didn't win in the Olympics and the twit won't win the WH. just sayin'

Reuters: "[FONT=&quot]The unemployment rate has been stuck above 8 percent for more than three years, the longest run since the great depression[/FONT] ." (Lucia Mutikani, "Jobs Increase In July, But Jobless Rate Rises To 8.3 Percent," Reuters, 8/3/12

Neil Soss, Chief Economist At Credit Suisse: "This is the weakest recovery we've ever seen, weaker even that the recovery during the Great Depression … If you're not scared by that then you're not paying attention." (Catherine Rampell, "U.S. Added 163,000 Jobs In July, Jobless Rate Ticked Up," The New York Times, 8/3/12)

The Washington Post 's Neil Irwin:"Unemployed rose by 45k, employed fell by 150k in household survey, which is not what you want to see at all ." (Neil Irwin, Twitter Feed, 8/3/12)

I love this one, which claims this looks initially like "good news." What are they smoking over at CNBC? They want to report that the economy created 163,000 new jobs and hope everyone ignores that it lost 195,000. Must be good stuff ...

"Despite the seemingly good news, the report's household showed that the actual amount of Americans working dropped by 195,000, with the net job gain resulting primarily from seasonal adjustments in the establishment survey. The birth-death model, which approximates net job growth from newly added or closed businesses, added 52,000 to the total." (Jeff Cox, "Economy Creates 163,000 New Jobs But Rate Rises To 8.3 %," CNBC.com, 8/3/12)

Since President Obama took office, the nation has lost 316,000 jobs and the unemployment rate has increased from 7.8 percent To 8.3p ercent (Bureau Of Labor Statistics, accessed 8/3/12). In July, 150,000 workers dropped out of the labor force (Bureau Of Labor Statistics, Accessed 8/3/12). The real unemployment rate, including those that "are working part-time due to economic reasons," (those being, they like to eat and have a roof over theirs and their families heads) increased to 15.0 percent (Bureau Of Labor Statistics, Accessed 8/3/12). In all, 23.6 million Americans are unemployed, underemployed or have given up looking for work (Bureau Of Labor Statistics, Accessed 8/3/12).

The Empty Suit's economic blunders are the best campaign Romney can run.

You have that backwards. Fat cats do whatever they want because the law shields them from competitors. Try printing your own money to compete against the US dollar and see how far you'll get.

And the state still has the gall to suggest the lack of law is the reason the financial sector rolls in money.
