The greatest economic boom in American history continues its torrid pace of job creation. The media calls it the Obama Boom and Progressives are running around saying that things have never been better. Well, this great economic growth produced astronomical GDP growth of 3% in the 1st quarter! The Obama Boom is historic and living standards are rising at a pace not seen since the Carter years! For the month of May, the boom produced 41,000 Private Sector jobs!
WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — Nonfarm payrolls grew by a seasonally adjusted 431,000 in May, but virtually all the new jobs were temporary jobs at the U.S. Census, leaving private-sector hiring very weak, the Labor Department reported Friday.
Excluding 411,000 temporary Census workers, payrolls rose by 20,000 in May. According to the survey of 400,000 business establishments, private-sector payrolls increased by 41,000, the fifth straight monthly gain.
“A disappointing private payroll number to be sure,” said John Ryding and Conrad DeQuadros of RDQ Economics.
The payrolls growth came in weaker than the 540,000 increase expected by economists surveyed by MarketWatch. See our complete economic calendar and consensus forecast.
Read the rest: Hiring weak in May except for Census workers, U.S. says
That great Obama recovery. The media is spinning that fact unemployment went down from 9.9% to 9.7%. This decline is due to the fact people are leaving the labor market after realizing the media is lying about the Obama Boom.
The decline wasn’t particularly good news, however, because it reflected 322,000 people dropping out of the labor force, partially reversing April’s 805,000 increase. While unemployment dropped by 287,000 to 15 million for May, employment also fell, dipping 35,000 to 139.4 million.
The truth of the matter is that there is no Obama Economic Boom. It is a lie put out there by the Progressive Propaganda media to prop up Barack Hussein Obama and create false confidence in the American public. Hiring 411,000 Census workers is not the path to prosperity for America. The mask is falling off of this Progressive lie about our economy and hopefully the American public will express their anger by voting out the current Congress in November.
On another note Republican Senate Candidate Marco Rubio, expressed his full support for Israel.
Below is his Press Release:
I am alarmed that our long-standing solidarity with Israel has been thrown into doubt by a White House that seems to be playing a proverbial game of jump ball, whereby the world wonders on which side America will stand. Of course, we should stand with Israel. Doing otherwise sends a dangerously emboldening signal to Israel’s enemies.
Sadly, this recent flotilla event is only the latest example of the extent to which our special relationship with Israel has been diminished under the current Administration. Iran and its terrorist proxies have surely been watching approvingly as Washington continues these misguided policies.
As many in the international community use this flotilla incident to predictably rally against Israel, it is important to stand firmly behind our ally. In no way can the U.S. allow a path to be cleared that would enable the United Nations or any international body to discredit and diminish our democratic friend and partner. If Israel’s right to self-defense is undermined by misguided efforts to lift its legal and necessary blockade of Gaza, which serves to stop Hamas from arming itself with deadly weapons, there will be lasting consequences not only for Israel, but also for the U.S. and the entire world.
Make no mistake: while we await all the facts to emerge about this incident, it is clear the sponsors and participants of the Free Gaza Movement’s Flotilla have been thoroughly documented in their support of violent extremism. A far cry from being “humanitarian relief workers,” the activists on board the Mavi Marmara had a cache of bulletproof vests, night vision goggles and gas masks. This was no humanitarian mission.
Additionally, knowing that the blockade of Gaza exists for a legitimate reason and that Israel already provides avenues for true humanitarian efforts to reach the Palestinian people, this latest incident is a striking provocation by Israel’s opponents.
For the entirety of its existence, Israel has been targeted for annihilation by its enemies and we must never do anything to undermine its right to protect its people. As enemies such as Iran develop nuclear weapons that pose an existential threat to Israel, America has a responsibility to continue serving as its strongest and most steadfast ally.
Israel is a valued American ally and our closest and most reliable friend in the Middle East. Israel is neither the problem nor the obstacle to peace, and it should not be treated as one. By strengthening the U.S.-Israel alliance, we also strengthen the moderate, pro-U.S. elements in the Arab world. If the U.S. shows itself to be an unreliable ally to Israel, moderate Arab states will take note that they cannot trust the U.S. to be a reliable friend for them either. This is unacceptable for the future of U.S. security, Israel’s existence and the prospects for a lasting peace in the Middle East.
