I’ll Believe It When I See It by tgirsch

But I’m more hopeful now that health care reform will pass than I’ve been at any time since December. Intrade was trending steeply upward last I checked. I’m still trying to figure out how the Democrats will snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. March 12th, 2010 in Health, News & Current Events, Politics | 2 Comments |

Quote of the Day by Kevin

From here:Ted Says:March 12th, 2010 at 10:02 am@34: Clearly, Shooter is a Randian.The Lord of the Rings, and Atlas Shrugged, are two books you can give a 15-year-old kid that’ll change his life forever. One will draw him into a fantasy world where people who are losers in real life can become heroic captains engaged in a timeless, righteous struggle against evil. The other is about orcs.

Paul Ryan’s Deficit-Slashing Plan by tgirsch

Via TPM, uhh, not so much. According to the CBPP, it’s the same old GOP tune: slashing social programs, raising taxes on 3/4 of American households while providing massive tax cuts to the very wealthy, punishing work, and, of course, ballooning the deficit rather than cutting it. Sounds like your typical “serious” GOP plan to me. March 11th, 2010 in Economics, Politics, Taxes | 2 Comments |

Sharing the Pain by tgirsch

My sister got this stuck in my head, so now I must deal with the pain in the only way I know how: by sharing it.Apparently it’s a Russian crooner whose name translates to Edward Gil or Hill or Khil. I was going to do some research and try to learn more about it, but then I found that someone with even less of a life than I have already did that.

Speed Kills by tgirsch

Especially warp speed. Kirk & Scotty wouldn’t have known what hit them. I love how the audience quibbled about whether or not the Enterprise’s deflector shields would have helped. We’re talking about fiction here, people. :) March 8th, 2010 in All Linky No Thinky, I do too have a life, Science | 1 Comment |

Thanks, Obama! by KTK

Unemployment claims, and total employment, under Bush and Obama:Employment trends: total employment falls disastrously for years under Bush, recovers almost completely in one year under Obma; unemployment trend rises continuously under Bush, flattens and turns downward under Obama.Reversing a Disaster: Obama Turns Around Bush Job LossesTotal employment declined steadily for years under Bush; the unemployment rate rose from below the previously-accepted theoretical minimum of “natural unemployment”, under Clinton (below 5%), to  8 % under Bush. (Fun Fact: not a single net new job was added at any point during the entire Bush years.) Total employment began rising  Monthly job losses began declining immediately with Obama’s economic stimulus, and the unemployment trend began flattening within months after his inauguration. It reached a peak less than a year after Obama took office, and has declined now for four months. (Fun Fact: If the unemployment-rate trend is symmetical – that is, if Obama continues to create jobs as fast as Bush destroyed them - he will have reversed the Bush unemployment-rate disaster before the end of his first term in office.)More fun facts: a crude, but revealing, estimate of jobs created by the Obama stimulus can be derived simply by extrapolating the Bush unemployment curve for the last year of his term in office through the present day, and noting how far above the actual current unemployment rate, or below the current payroll totals, that would be (i.e., if the Bush disaster had continued unchanged over the last year). A rough projection suggests a Bush-normal unemployment rate of about 12% and rising, and continued monthly job losses of as much as 1.6 million.Luckily, that’s not the case. Under Obama, we have a falling unemployment rate, and current monthly employment change fluctuating around zero and rising.Thanks, Obama! Hat Tip: White House (timeline divider and Bush/Obama labels added)UPDATE: Fixed a grammatical error.UPDATE: “Total employment” did not begin rising after Obama’s election; the number of jobs lost per month began declining, reaching a point at or just below neutral over the last few months. Thanks to Matt for the correction.Note also that the Obama rescue trend remains even after “discouraged workers” – long-term unemployed no longer seeking jobs – are factored in. (See BLS “Labor Force Statistics“, category U-6.)"Effective Unemployment" - job-seekers and "discouraged workers" together - rose disastrously under Bush, peaked within one year under Obama, and is now trending down.Effective Unemployment: Another Obama RescueUPDATE: Fixed stupid typos.
