Quick Round Up
Friday, January 28th, 2011Let’s take a look at what’s going on in the world.
U.S. Initial Jobless Claims Rose More Than Estimated Last Week to 454,000
“Unexpectedly” is the word used to describe this jump by those not paying attention.
Social Security now seen to run permanent deficits.
Well ahead of schedule.
Obamacare waivers skyrocket to 729 + 4 states; 4 new SEIU waiver winners
They don’t want Obamacare? They must be racists!
Foreclosure activity up across most US metro areas.
“The foreclosure crisis is getting worse as high unemployment and lackluster job prospects force homeowners in an increasing number of U.S. metropolitan areas into dire financial straits.” Hmmm…didn’t they hear our Dear Leader say that we have “broken the back of the recession”? Maybe they are just afraid of the violent tone of his rhetoric.
Oh, and to wrap it up. Sage advice from Doug Powers.
“Note to those in the 18th congressional district of Texas: When a woman who once asked if NASA’s Pathfinder took pictures of where Neil Armstrong planted the flag on Mars calls you ill-informed, it’s time to hit the books.”
In other news, the government chocolate ration is being raised from 30 grams to 25 grams.
