California unemployment hits 12.2 percent

Unemployment is less affected by state government than it is affected by what industries are in that region. So, when California had the dot-com boom and had the LOWEST unemployment rate in the United States was that a result of who was running the government too?

You tell'em man ..

hate to tell you this but our governor is a republican.

This has nothing to do with Liberal Policies.

You state is on its second term of a REPUBLICAN GOVERNOR. LOL

You guys suffer from beliefism, and that means that if you say you believe it, then its true. No matter what the evidence.

I sincerely hope you operate on that level in all aspects of y our life because natural selection will take care of you.

i bet its 25%

Yea it's some where 20 to 30 % .. But I know alot of folks that are drawing unemployment. But working under the table at the same time. so if they are doing it here I'm willing to bet others are doing it to. There are jobs out there for those that want to work they may not pay that good but a job is a job. Some times you must lower your standards to survive.

A job is not a job.

So hammywill I guess that you would rather sit on your dead ass and wait on a hand out from the goverment. I have had to do every thing from clean Horse stalls to dock an pier work to head shrimp in the middle of a hurracane on the back deck of a shrimp boat. There are those that do what it takes to survive and then there are those that sit around and Bitch about things Which are you?

I never said I was sitting on my ass waiting for a government handout. I simply stated that a job is not a job. Which is true. To make that statement is silly and either ignorant or mean spirited.

Secondly welfare and social networks Are not simply handouts. Again, that statement is made in ignorance or greed.

Why of corse they do. They live on what they make they do not live on credit cards. they work and save there money. They eat beans and rice and grow what they can. they also Work doing what no one else wants to do. Just because they are still working does not mean that they are in the wrong it just means that they did what it takes to keep there job. Do you think that you would want a job cutting grass if so start a lawn care company. I like to hear people say they took our jobs just what were you doing to lose your job. unless you were in the field of servise work you did not loose your job to some illegal. Now if you were in some office and you lost your job because the company moved it over seas then your grip is with that company not the guys mowing the grass. Why do people say they took my job when they work in an office or in a white collar job. again Just What job did you loose to the beaners????

Just commenting on the state of California's economy. I have relatives that came to this country legally to better themselves.
I'm not dissing the illegals themselves, I'm dissing the government that allows people to make it in this country on the backs of the taxpayers. So I'm dissing the government.
Hey, if someone comes to this country and uses the system they are smart! for their own benefit.
On the other hand Asians come to California legally and still prosper, ethically, morally and legally that's better the better way!
California has done a good job of screwing itself.

Well I must agree with that 100%.

i will just start robbing medical marijuana clinics and dope heads..lots of them in california..tax free

hahaahahah so what about all those "promises"?

i say people should STOP THINKING LIKE IDIOTS..

Well thats a given.

Savage Natives? Though I agree with your statement about moving I found your use of that term to be very naive and just plain ignorant and rude.

I'm sorry I was not thinking. I do that some times. i will try to not let it happen again. Thank you for pointing it out and again sorry if I afened your or any one else with that word. may the God of your under standing shine down on you.

Do you have any idea what it costs to move somewhere?

Why yes I do.

Many people are moving.

But you belittle the issue with your Oh people don;t understand as if you are so damn smart.

Everyone thinks the answers are easy until it's their ox being gored.

I live in Michigan and I have to say it is shocking to me just how many people are unemployed in my community.

There is no doubt that many people will have to move to find work if things do not turn around soon. However it is tragic that people will have to leave behind their families and friends just to survive. Meanwhile the is a small percentage of the population that is getting filthy rich off of their misery.

In other words I think it is YOU that does not understand there genius.

Not to mention exactly where should they move to? Unemployment is high all over the nation.

Well I live in south Texas and things are looking good around here. Most all the refineries are hirering. Them folks at Gulf marine is hirering. P.K.S. is hirering and those are just a few of the places that are hirering that I know of. I never said it was easy to relocate I have had to do it twice. Thats Twice I had to pack a duffle bag and walk away from all I own and hope for the best. The last time I went to west virginia from south Texas. When I left west Virginia I had a car load and a wife we kind of looked like the beverly hillbillies. so I KNOW what it takes to move away and leave family and friends. I never said it was easy or that it was for every one. However those that can should give it a try.

An unregulated Capitalistic system creates the mess the bankers and AIG gave us, but a well regulated Capitalistic system works for everyone. The reason regulations were put in after the G Depression was to prevent what the bankers did.

BTW credit Default swaps are being traded again and securitization in a careless manner by combining bad assets with good ones up the rating is happeing. If we want to keep Capitalism , we have to prevent its abuses.
The abuses can bring down the whole deck.

crush capitalism? Get your ass back to Russia

Russia is a CAPITALISTIC country now and its having a very difficult time economically also. But it has huge natural resources so it will probably fare well.

lol, meanwhile...Michael Moore's anti capitalism movie will be $7-10.50 a movie ticket, or $19.95 retail on DVD.

If Micheal Moore wanted to make money, he wouldn't do documentaries. Documentaries don't make a lot of money compared to other movies. A testament to his skill as a documentarian is that his movies are even in major theaters at all.

If he was out to make money, there would be many surer ways for a talented movie maker to do so.

Typical Conversation With a Conservative:

Conservative: Michael Moore... I don't like him, much.
Me: Have you ever even seen a Michael Moore film?
Conservative: No...
Me: (confused look)

Michael Moore's mass media misrepresentative mess.....

i will start by robbing this fat ass

occhipij

I saw the film at a free screening. I know of at least two other free screenings this week. Did you know that Moore invited people to download Sicko for free when he released it?

It costs money to make films and takes years with a crew of many people and expensive services like mixes. Like any other hard working person he deserves to charge for his work.
