#3 The 30 hour or less jobs and its companion, the obamacare insurance con game, are this idiots legacy. Once the obamacare insurance increases hit next month the disposabe income will dry up and and interest rates creep up...the economy will begin to tank again...right as obama leaves office...Kinda like he planned it.

#4 also, the number of people with multiple jobs (or gigs as zerohedge calls them) has hit the highest amount recorded this century

as Bill Clinton pointed out (before he was shut down), there are substantial numbers of people working two 29 hour/wk jobs (or one 29hr/wk, and one 20hr/wk, etc) who don't get employer provided health care insurance and earn too much to get subsidized govt marketplace individual health care insurance

even a lot of leftist have figured out that this is a problem

#5 Also, the majority of full-time jobs added were in the public sector.

Also, the rate of new small business startups is the lowest since the country was founded.

Also,.....aw jeez, I no longer have the energy.

I grab the monthly New Corporations books at the Mass. State House Bookstore. They generally run about 100 pages every month. It'll be interesting to see what the November and December books look like pagewise.

#8 It used to be once a month, now it's every two or three months. I always pair it with a client visit, so it's not much more than 10 - 15 extra minutes and a walk by the bums at Park Street.

#10 cut income taxes, tax rent seeking instead.

It's called capitalism. American's could try it and grow their economy, but their establishment would hate it.
