American job market

My memory might be fading but I thought it was generally bad form for moderators to throw out gratuitous ad Homs.

If it was it never stopped any previous moderator.

Pwned.

Ahh, the AAHZ style of debate. After getting your ass kicked you simply announce victory and hope no one notices how stupid you look.

This is the first year under Obama compared to the last year under Bush:



since January the results have been mixed but the trend line has remained positive with jobs being added. Drake, stop being such a tool.

March had +175,000 jobs

April had +290,000

http://www.talkleft.com/story/2010/5/7/101455/3773

And now May had + 490,000 jobs (but unfortunately mostly census jobs).

It's mixed but continues trending upwards as it has since Obama took office so stop being your normal retarded self and realize that Ben K is on your side so you're automatically wrong.

Just remember, folks. Drake claims that's not an upwards trend.

I like it better when AAHZ does it. He gives it some charm.

Congratulations, you have now realized who Drake has always been emulating with his "debate" tactics. Your entire dialogue was pretty sad. Partisan politics = brain use forbidden.

What's funny is how people always try to tie presidents into how the economy is doing. Economies always go into recessions once in every 10 years or so. 2 years and you should be looking at a steady recovery again, no matter who's in charge.

[Drake Tungsten]

Just remember, folks. Drake claims that's not an upwards trend.

I first laughed at your claim that there was a "pretty good" trend over the last six months. Then I laughed at your claim that there was any discernible trend over the last six months, when employment has been in the doldrums. After getting pwned on both points, you've had to fall back to claims of "positive" and "upward" trends over the past year and a half, but that's not what our argument was about.

[N35t0r]

I'm pretty sure that if you put me in charge, the economy will go to hell. Just saying.

[Drake Tungsten]

I should also point out that the graph Oerdin has now hung his entire argument on doesn't even show four out of the past six months. This is probably because he's really, really stupid.

[Ben Kenobi]

What I love it is how everything after October 2008 is attributed to Bush.

Since Obama was elected, the picture is very different.

What we need is another Al Gore to invent the interwebs

I stated that in the very first post I listed it in, moron. That's why I went and gave the supplimental jobs data and I even explained the graph only went Jan and thus I am given additional jobs data. Jesus Christ, it's like you have a learning disability which would actually explain why you are the way you are. Slow witted.

[Drake Tungsten]

Are you really too stupid to find Steve Benen's most recent graph?

[Drake Tungsten]

The thing that makes pwning Oerdin so much fun is that I know all the left-wing sources he gets his opinions from better than he does.

Why bother? The points are totally predictable and likely discreditted within minutes. The fact that Oerdin finds them interesting and valid is simply evidence of the innacuracy.

You would be better served having one of your other DL's pose a counter arguement, as your Oedrin DL is too stereotypically wrong. It needs to be kept fresh.

[Drake Tungsten]

Oerdin isn't one of my DLs. I could never manage to be so consistently wrong over a such a long time frame; I would've slipped up and posted something intelligent by now.
