Everyone on each side and on top of the fence are making comments about today's unemployment rate. One side points and says 'see how high it is!", the other side says.."see the pace of job loss is slowing!". Something that needs to be taken in account, can tie into yesterday's B.E.V. note about 'winter'. What happens in the fall and winter......outside work/jobs fall significantly, mainly construction jobs and all the fields/endeavors/support that goes into construction which is a huge set of connections. That amount of job loss has yet to be figured and seen in the 9.7 and the 'slow down'. If you need a mental picture, just think of everything, everyone that goes into building a house from the ground breaking to the wiring to laying out a yard. All of those people will not be working in the winter. Can we guess a 10.3 by November?? What is that going to do for Christmas, retail sales and that ripple effect?

"With President Obama off on vacation, his second in two weeks,
unofficial Acting President Joe Biden has stepped into the vacuum,
claiming credit Thursday for the successes of the administration's $787
billion stimulus package..."
"....said "I" more than a dozen times as he pointed repeatedly to progress on the economy and to his lofty role in the process."
In 1981, after the March 30
assassination attempt on Reagan, Haig asserted before reporters "I am in control here" as a result of Reagan's hospitalization.
What is it about the White House that grabs the minds of people? Though in that time, I feel that Secretary Haig did the right thing under the circumstances.
An email is being circulated around now about flying the Stars and Stripes on September 11th. Instead of forwarding a fowards forward, B.E.V. will just say it here: On September 11th of this year, 2009, show your feelings, beliefs, and respect for everything good about this Nation and fly the American flag from your home, car, boat, truck, or wear a printed shirt with the Flag (properly respected of course).
