US productivity falls in spring, labor costs rise

Hooray! What a wonderful choice in presidents America, YES WE CAN! CHNAGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN! BLAME BUSH MAYBE SOMEONES LEFT THAT'S STUPID ENOUGH TO BELIEVE IT!

The only question left is can America ''Survive "16 more Months of Obama radical Socialist economic killing Business rules regulations and EPA B/S ?
200,000 could be back at work next month if Obama took his EPA Foot of of Energy being made in America .
This now makes all 12 official Economic Indicators look worse than terrible for the coming next 2 years .Not to mention Home prices have dropped another 7-10 % since last Spring .
Retirement Funds ... 23-27 %have fallen the last 8 months alone .
The Official count of Obama new rules and Regulations o Business is 4,200 .
741 EPA, DOD and CEDA Rules
Far more than all the Presidents since FDR put together .

If it looks like a duck and walks like a duck, its a duck. Even us stupid hicks get it.We did try something different, electing a duck and look what it got us. Now, in Obamaland , you may say I am crazy if I see ducks, but if I say I do, its true. The CBC sez' we are all duckhunters. Damn, brother can't get a break. I am tired ya'll.

The U.S. economy is like a extremely large wheel that needs to change direction and can not possible do that without stopping first. The amount of government is directly related to how far down the economy has gone and recovering to its once vibrant state has all but disappeared. If and thats a big if things would change. There is little use going there. Its like opening a down pillow in a wind storm and then trying to recover all the feathers to put back into the pillow. It can be done however not without a lot of effort. Without the political will to recover all the feathers we are all domed.

One would have to be blind and deluded not to realize that the destruction of our economy and country by Obama is intentional. It is Communist Obama's agenda to destroy this country. One has to destroy what exists before they can build on their "new foundation".

"rising labor costs would cut into corporate profits"

We cant let that happen. Corporate profits are far more important than your ability to survive. Write your congressmen and demand a repeal of minimum wage so employers can cut your wages further to keep profits high.

People are TIRED!

too many people farting around on their cell phones

"Fragile economic recovery"

That's like Jeff Gordon's in last place in a NASCAR race, and the announcer says, "Gordon is struggling for the lead..."

Productivity is down, labor costs are up, unemployment is sky-high, food costs keep going up, gasoline prices rise because this Regime refuses to drill, inflation is going up, Socialized medicine is a threat to everyone, Porkulus bills in the trillions don't do anything, foreign relations are a joke now....

Do you get the picture?

How about we go back to much better times and smaller government?

Join our national consciousness, the Tea Party, because we certainly can't afford any more of this nonsense.

"When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is the beginning of the end of any nation." -- Adrian Rogers

Why work when you can get it for free?

... the next step is to confiscate the white farmer's land and turn it over to the oppressed minorities ... meaning Obama's supporters ...

This is what happens when companies downsize their workforce to save a buck. With less workers on the payroll, the ones left have to pick up the pace. The problem is that many times the ones left on payroll are overworked and finally get tired of doing the extra work. There is a breaking point between workers and productivity and I think the companies have over extended their employees that are left.

Heres the Big Lie again, that there is some recovery. Odd that the same old story gets played over and over again -"Gee we didnt expect how bad things are..."

If there WAS "recovery" then they wouldnt be bad, would they? So THERE IS NO RECOVERY. "Recovery" means "going back to the previous state" which is NOT happening, its does NOT mean "a small imoprovement"

"Worker productivity in the United States fell this spring more quickly than previously estimated while labor costs were rising at a faster clip. Both developments could pose threats to a fragile economic recovery."

I remember an old West Virginia Hillbilly saying: You cannot get the water to clear up until you get the pigs out of the creek.

“If the US government was a family, they would be making $58,000 a year, spending $75,000 a year, and have $327,000 in credit card debt. They are currently proposing BIG spending cuts to reduce their spending to $72,000 a year. These are the actual proportions of the federal budget and debt, reduced to a level that we can understand.

A recession is when your neighbor loses his job
A depression is when YOU lose your job
A recovery is when OBUMMER LOSES HIS JOB !!!!! 2012--2012--2012!!!

Why is it that every single time they revise previous period figures, it is always worse than reported? it is never better. Sounds like the government games the system to try to get better press out of it. OUr government is full of crooked people.

Everything tumbles when the Obma administration is in control.

Of course. The Obama administration is focused upon advancing the interests of the labor unions, while building a wall of regulatory roadblocks to impede business. What other outcome could possibly result from that policy?
