We have too much not-enough-unemployment
The Associated Press is reporting that Friday’s unemployment report will be … bad (tip: Don Surber). But the administration says it’s the weather’s fault. (At least it’s not the climate‘s fault.) The AP calls shenanigans.
The report can’t just be dismissed. Once the snow effect is filtered out, they say the data will still signal weak hiring: Little if any job growth, and an unemployment rate predicted to rise to 9.8 percent or more from 9.7 percent.
While everyone’s getting their panties in a wad over the number of unemployed, they don’t realize that there is an easy way to solve the unemployment problem.
Make more people lose their jobs.
Now, sure, this sounds like a Barack Obama solution. He’s one to address a problem of too much government by having more government.
But, this isn’t the same thing. You see, I’m thinking that we could get more people back to work if a few certain select people joined the ranks of the unemployed. I can think of 257 people that need to lose their jobs, and things will get better.
Wait! I just thought of 59 more!
This will work.
You’re welcome.

You are thinking too small.
There’s at least a few dozen more that I can think of, starting with Obumbles himself, along with Joe Plugs, Rahm Deadfish, Janet Incompetano, Turbotax Timmy, and anyone whose job title contains the word “Czar”.

Harry Reid’s wife should be thinking about getting a protection order.
My guess is 10.2% or worse on Friday’s report.

Only 237 + 59?
I’d go for the whole 535 of the bastids and start over.

I can think of a few RINOs to add to that list.
If you do not meet IMAOs reasonable standards for being a conservative, then you have no business being in office.
I guess that means we need to turn everything into a Fred Thompson dictatorship.
