Obama Team Squeezes Out Slightly Less Than 8% Unemployed Report

Unemployment and Obamacare; the unemployment situation is still very bad. More than 40% of the unemployed are long-term unemployed.

The Obama D.O.L. revised jobs created upward 86,000 jobs for July and  August  in a revision of their first reports. They had to get that unemployment rate below 8%. I suspected they would. Its a lawyer's administration and they may think its like a legal argument for publicity purposes they can win re-election with.

For the long term unemployed and for those without good health care who are injured or sick and have lost their retirement property to pay for medical and can't find work the Obamacare  paper-improvements are of little consolation. One wants a healthy economy and not one moribund, sick and trying to stagger over the election day finish line before collapsing into recession.

Forty-seven % is a number many can remember yet there are other employment and taxed statistics. Ones the unemployed are concerned about differ from those of Mandarin Obamanites.

According to the Depart. of Labor employment summaries released today the participation of non-institution Americans in the work force is just 63.9%-in other words 47% of non-institutionalized aren't employed and hence aren't paying taxes on work-that is a remarkable number.

Sure some of those people don't need to work, some can't find a job or aren't welcome to work facing discrimination against age or geographic origin or unpopularity with NPR (maybe), plainly though the Obama administration hasn't prioritized getting jobs for the poor and has failed to take adequate measures to assure that the poorest and out of work longest go to the front of the hiring line through tax incentives.

Good government supports realistic opportunity for all people to work at least part-time so citizens can have cash earnings instead of food stamps. Obama programs tend to work against free enterprise for the poor . Obamacare functions as a middle class bureaucratic dream scenario foisted on the poor to burden them with impossible to satisfy bureaucratic work on-line. There are many working age Americans that cannot use a computer and they will have to buy one, buy Internet service or libraries will need to have free computer numbers increase a lot as well as free instructors to train the semi-literate migrant farm workers how to use them as they go from state to state and need an exchange for insurance that isn't really located in Nigeria or Eastern Russia.

I cannot imagine what nightmarish difficulties a traveling, poor, journeyman painter or laborer will experience with Obamacare moving from state to state frequently in pursuit of work on a bicycle or motorbike. The lazy that will not travel are rewarded more than those that struggle to find work anywhere it is hiding in America. Bureaucrats expect citizens to be happy locals that move only with a Mayflower Truck and negotiations with the state department of the state they are relocating to.
Each state where he was will deny that he has a 'domicile' there because he sleeps under the stars without a pillow.

A good politician would support free walk-in public medical care for the poor in expanded VA hospitals and let the middle class pay for their own insurance from their sufficient prosperity.

"In 2012,
employment growth has averaged 146,000 per month, compared with an average
monthly gain of 153,000 in 2011."

"Employment in financial activities edged up in September (+13,000), reflecting
modest job growth in credit intermediation (+6,000) and real estate (+7,000).

Manufacturing employment edged down in September (-16,000)"
The majority of people favor repeal of Obamacare...

In engineering, technology, economics and social sciences constructing models of systems structures is generally a better way to go than to simply build a system willy nilly. In aircraft and ship design one make construct a model to fulfill the best way of achieving particular goals. Obviously my mention of a health care system for the poor that would expand the existing V.A. system and treat all poor citizens for free is a model of a structure that would create simultaneously better health care for veterans, the poor and create a larger emergency preparedness infrastructure for national emergency. I believe it would be the most cost effective as well.

I am not the best social scientist. I got a score of 99% on the CLEP General Social Sciences and History Exam and have followed U.S. politics about 50 years so my perspective on how the U.S.A. might develop a functional, practical medical infrastructure to treat the poor and veterans while keeping taxpayer costs as low as possible while delivering effective treatment is made  less expertise than some. Even so the Obamcare system seems particularly onerous and patched together with vast potential cost overruns. In fact its purpose may really be to create jobs and profits for Americans that don't manufacture anything. In the September DOL report financial sector jobs went up while manufacturing dropped by more than 10,000. The same old trends are returning.

The Obamacare program is something like Richard M. Nixon's medical program as you may know. It  followed Romneycare in Massachusetts (that state wanted it) and I would think that since Mitt's father was a 68 presidential candidate as well as Nixon that the source of Obamacare actually is Richard Nixon.

Nixon was a forward thinking guy. He didn't envision an America transformed by networking and financial schemes with computers and fiber optics, quantitative trading in Dark Pools and so forth-I think the plain practical approach of physical hospitals and clinics for the poor and veterans would be far cheaper than the convoluted vast potential for corruption of Obamacare.
