Obama: Unemployment To Get Worse
WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama on Tuesday declined to predict how high unemployment will climb but made clear he expects it to keep worsening for a while as hiring lags behind other signs of economic recovery.
“How employment numbers are going to respond is not year clear,” the president said on a day when he was headed to Michigan, home of a particularly battered economy. “My expectation is that we will probably continue to see unemployment tick up for several months.”
The president said the creation of jobs that pay good wages is the “single biggest challenge” in the recovery for the U.S. and governments worldwide. He defended his multi-pronged agenda of trying to revamp health care, energy, science innovation and infrastructure as the key to real economic growth.
“Those foundations are so critical because we’ve got to find new models of economic growth,” Obama said.
His approach to issues is frustrating: In dealing with our enemies, he keeps plugging away at “looking for those things that unite us rather than focus on what divides us!” It is meaningless political pap that will accomplish nothing. For those out of work, for the exploding deficit spending and the damnable stimulus packages it is “finding new models of economic growth,” again total crap.
Our country has prospered beyond that of any nation is history and if left alone, it will again.
