The number of people seeking U.S. unemployment aid dropped to the lowest level in 14 years last week, the latest sign of a strengthening labor market that could help blunt worries about the impact of weak global growth.
The Labor Department said Thursday that weekly applications for unemployment aid fell 23,000 to a seasonally adjusted 264,000, the lowest level since April 2000. Given that the U.S. population has grown considerably since then, the proportion of the U.S. workforce applying for benefits is even smaller.

We ARE in a global economy...the Global economy is showing signs of trouble, if it worsens, we will NOT be able to avoid it. Oil is in freefall, US retail sales fell in September, little more than expected...Those things don't happen in a good economic climate. The 800lb elephant is Ebola...how will that effect the global Economy? Labor stats always trail Economic conditions...slow to reduce in recession, slow to add in growth....
The next 3-4 months will be critical...

First, new unemployment applications is down.
New welfare applications totally offset them by 2 to 1.
Ebola will be used to increase military control of the population.

And their product?......is US.....THE AMERICANS/CITIZENS!!
So as with any corporation...the economy gets sluggish and the CORPORATION needs to cut back on their employees.
HOW DO YOU SUPPOSE THEY WILL ACCOMPLISH THAT?

Bucky predicts that the Dems will lose in mid term elections!!! Of course they will!!!
Quoted Text
Actually,"losing" a midterm election is the rule, rather than the exception, for the party that controls the White House. Only five times in American history has the president's party avoided losing seats in Congress during a midterm election. And each of these instances involved extraordinary circumstances, among them the turmoil over Reconstruction in 1866, the Depression in 1934 and the 9/11 attacks and the early months of the war on terror in 2002. The fact that the president's party loses seats in Congress in 90% of midterm elections suggests that not even the most brilliant service in the White House can change the outcome.

Well if a brilliant White House will lose seats, this White House will lose a lot of seats.

Not only will the Dems lose seats, they will most likely lose control of the Senate as well... that doesn't happen 90% of the time... keep spinning it Boxy!
