How the government manufactures low unemployment numbers

Figures released Friday by the US Labor Department declare that the unemployment rate has dropped to 8.3 percent. While economists applaud the latest news, the reality is improvement comes only after 3 million jobless Americans are unaccounted for.

Class war coming to America

Never mind the budding war between America and Iran. A skirmish could be coming a lot closer to home and it might even be as centrally located as your own city. In only two years, tensions have grown greatly between the upper and lower classes.

Obama rules as a dictator, says Ron Paul

Much of Congress is calling out President Obama for his excessive use of executive power in a string of recess appointments this week. To some lawmakers, this isn’t the first time the commander-in-chief has stepped on the toes of his constituents.

Realist,
Atossa is right -- no one ethnic Russian would say that he/she hates Russia. Even if they happen to live, want to live, or have to live abroad... Those your neighbors are most probably Russian speaking non-ethnic-Russians (even those might be having Slavic roots -- like Western Ukrainians, for example). In fact, my observation -- the ethnic Russians cannot cut their internal ties with Russia. No matter how long and were do they live abroad. And how successfult they are. As a result, many of them are just coming back. But, not the "Russian jews", as Atossa said...

Isn't it the hardcore feature of Capitalists -- avoid dealing with someone on whom they have to spent money for nothing or with little return? They just need a skillful workers who would do the job and generate values, which the capitalists will consume. Their goal -- maximum profit. If capitalists were altruistic and behave differently, they would not be called Capitalists...

Let the ruling classes tremble at a Communist revolution. The proletarians have nothing to lose but their chains. They have a world to win.

The youth in the US appear to have become a lost generation, aimless and purposeless, not knowing what the future may hold for them. With the economic hurricane still bashing relentlessly without any sign of softening, many would wonder what on earth has happened to this once beautiful and wonderful nation.

Somehow the leaders and lawmakers still find intense satisfaction in continue making more rhetoric or just keep bickering. A pathetic lot. (vzc1943)

I fill really sorry for this great country. US, was a symbolof hope, for integrated, meaning full and peaceful life, of millions people,across the whole world, for centuries. It was the real opportunity, for dreams,to come true, until the time, when a handful of criminals, took over. Now, thecountry of hope, become a nightmare, for the whole world. It’s not up to Chinaor Russia, to return this great country, back to its people. It’s the people of America, who have to fight for it.

I totally admire the younger generation of the U.S. these days....They are under constant assault from predators everywhere inside & outside the U.S. and they have to listen to the constant barrage of criticism from their self-indulgent parents and grandparents who basically stole their future from them.

Where does the writer draw conclusions like: "many will vote for a candidate who will fix the economy"  there are no citations for these conclusions, and as such beg the reader to question the veracity of said conclusions.
