Employment ???????

You do realize that governments don't create jobs; the private and corporate sectors do. However, governments can halt job creation by regulations and laws.
The unemployment numbers in the United States are based on those collecting unemployment payments. These numbers do not include those that have stopped collecting and are still out of work as well as those that were self-employed. Since there isn't that many more layoffs left, the unemployment number should go down just because, eventually, everyone that is eligible to collect unemployment payment, will eventually drop off the rolls until there is no one collecting and then the unemployment number will be ZERO.
The truth is that as long as this administration can keep people unemployed, it can get their vote in the next election with Obama promising millions of jobs if he's re-elected.
Right now, there are thousands of jobs available in Williston, North Dakota. Do you think that this administration is doing anything about promoting these jobs or helping the unemployed get these jobs ? Of course not as it wouldn't be in the best interest of Obama and his band of thugs.
Another huge source of employment has just been stopped by Obama himself. The Trans Canada Pipeline will not be allowed for the time being. This project would employ over a million people across the United States in directly and indirectly related jobs. Obama made a statement yesterday, saying that he will not permit the Trans Canada pipeline until he's been re-elected. This way he can promise jobs to the unemployed and "buy" their vote.
The Trans Canada Pipeline
The Keystone Gulf Coast Expansion Project is an approximate 2,673-kilometre (1,661-mile), 36-inch crude oil pipeline that would begin at Hardisty, Alberta and extend southeast through Saskatchewan, Montana, South Dakota and Nebraska. It would incorporate a portion of the Keystone Pipeline (Phase II) through Nebraska and Kansas to serve markets at Cushing, Oklahoma before continuing through Oklahoma to a delivery point near existing terminals in Nederland, Texas to serve the Port Arthur, Texas marketplace.

This would be the largest project of its kind ever to take place in North America and the United States. I applaud Mr. Obama for helping us not only by keeping people out of work, but by keeping us foreign oil dependent. If I want to destroy this country, then Obama's got my vote............
