Get a job

Yet some of the poorest counties in Missouri are are neighbors of good ol' Cape Girardeau -- Scott and New Madrid Counties come to mind. I wonder how the unemployment rate is there.

Typical Republicans: Can't see the forest for the trees.

I SEE A VASTLY DIFFERENT
VIEW OF EMPLOYMENT IN THE US AND MISSOURI THAN 'MIDTOWN GUY'. IF YOU CAN'T TRAVEL INTO THE NEXT COUNTY FOR A JOB, YOU PROBABLY DON'T WANT TO WORK TOO BAD. WHY ARE DEMOCRATS ALWAYS
BATHING IN PESSIMISM? WHY HAVE I HAD SO LITTLE TROUBLE FINDING A JOB? IT SEEMS TO ME REPUBLICANS AND CONSERVATIVES GENERALLY EMPHASIZE PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY AND INDIVIDUAL INITIATIVE, WHEREAS
DEMOCRATS AND LIBERALS GENERALLY LOOK TO BIG GOVERNMENT TO BAIL THEM OUT. TAX THE RICH, SO WE CAN GIVE TO THE POOR. NOT FOR ME, FOLKS. I'M
VOTING MCCAIN IN NOVEMBER.

But the shouting almost convinced me you know what you're talking about, dave.

I wonder if that is the same Dave Clark of the Dave Clark Five?

Midtown guy---
OK, OK. I gotta be the world's laziest conservative, WHEN I CAN'T SCRAPE UP THE MOTIVATION TO TURN OFF THE CAPS LOCK!!! thanks---- dave

The jobs crisis and decline in overall job quality the nation has witnessed over the two-and-a-half years George W. Bush has been president underscore how critical it is to respond as never before to the challenge of moving the country back on track economically and politically. It’s going to take a lot more than a payday loan to get the economy back on track after the worst eight years we’ve had in a long time. Jobs grew only 2 percent during Bush’s time in the White House. That’s compared to 21 percent growth during Clinton’s presidency. The GDP only grew about 2 percent and Bush managed to turn a budget surplus into a deficit within three years. His own salary is big enough that he’ll never need a payday loan, but that is a lot more than I can say for my fellow Americans. The few of them that still have jobs will probably need to take out a payday loan to keep up with their bills at some point.
