Raising pay is key to the jobs blueprint, part of Beijing's 12th five-year economic plan, which aims to boost employment in the world's No.2 economy. read more
Washington (CNN) – Tim Tebow led his team to another come-from-behind victory Sunday, this time against the Chicago Bears. He has now won seven out of eight games as the Denver Broncos' starting quarterback, all the while unabashedly preaching his devout faith in God.
"If you were not a believer coming into this game," said Fox's Daryl Johnston after the Broncos win, "you have to be now." read more

Bawney Fwank: Obama admin 'dumb' to predict no higher than 8% unemployment
"President Obama, whom I greatly admire ... when the economic recovery bill â€" we're supposed to call it the 'recovery bill,' not the 'stimulus' bill; that's what the focus groups tell us â€" he predicted or his aides predicted at the time that if it passed, unemployment would get under 8 percent," Frank said Tuesday evening during an appearance on the Fox Business Network. "That was a dumb thing to do."

Couldn't agree more. Education is an invaluable tool as are you.
Danni (Krugman),
So you think republicans caused the Great Depression and FDR flew in and saved the day? That is rich. No where do I see republicans mentioned under Causes of the Great Depression. More likely caused by the FED, which was created by the progressive, democrat Woodrow Wilson!
I suppose you think Bush caused the housing market to crash thus ushering in the 2008 recession and Barack the magic negro saved the day? Look up Fannie and Freddie for how that recession started.
Keep dreaming girl...

And Doc comes in as the expert on rat-fucking. Nicely played Phd.
How Government Prolonged the Depression
The most damaging policies were those at the heart of the recovery plan, including The National Industrial Recovery Act (NIRA), which tossed aside the nation's antitrust acts and permitted industries to collusively raise prices provided that they shared their newfound monopoly rents with workers by substantially raising wages well above underlying productivity growth. The NIRA covered over 500 industries, ranging from autos and steel, to ladies hosiery and poultry production. Each industry created a code of "fair competition" which spelled out what producers could and could not do, and which were designed to eliminate "excessive competition" that FDR believed to be the source of the Depression.
"fair competition" sounds like socialism to me.
If it looks like a rat, smells like a rat, walks like a rat, it must be a rat.
