What They're Looking For

Posted By Rod Kaufman
Interesting perspective from top companies with a combined total of 56000 jobs now available:
"Cultural fit and diversity are very important to us."
How about:
"Personal achievement, character, and experience are very important to us."

Yup, the Republican candidates want the acts and regulations gone.

He's The Turnaround Guy

Posted By Rod Kaufman
Hmm,
Does she mean Mitt's the guy who initially opposed the auto bailouts and then claimed credit for them when they worked?
Or,
Does she mean he opposed his own advisers who helped Obama craft the health care act?
Or,
Does she mean his health care plan on pre-existing conditions that requires a "specified time" with a given company for coverage actually specifies the time?
Or,
Does she mean Mitt will actually take responsibility for his own "blind" trust?
Or,
Does she mean Mitt will invest in America and not in the Cayman Islands?
Well, like her husband, I guess we will never know...

Here Comes January Jobs Report

Posted By Rod Kaufman
First, FOX NEWS:
http://www.foxbusiness.com/markets/2012/01/30/facebook-news-key-jobs-report-greet-wall-street-this-week/
Sounds optimistic!
Next up:
CBS:
http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-505123_162-57367866/here-comes-the-january-jobs-report/
I like Fox business news thus far, with a bunch of mean old men guarding our money!

Interesting IF ADP Got It Right

Posted By Rod Kaufman
The private sector will have added 170,000 jobs for January, as per ADP.
http://thehill.com/blogs/on-the-money/801-economy/208443-overnight-money-january-jobs-report-could-show-gain-of-around-155000

CNN, OTH, is much more pessimistic. They're pegging it at 130,000.

Govt & Food Stamps

Posted By Rod Kaufman
Should the government mandate what food stamp recipients eat when they use food stamps?
A republican lawmaker has submitted a bill to do just that:
http://opinion.latimes.com/opinionla/2012/01/food-stamps-and-the-right-to-make-unhealthy-decisions.html
My impression is the intent, if truly directed at the nutritional value of what might be consumed, is valid but I'm not so sure that's the case.
If it indeed reduces caloric intake in obese people and or reduces the incidence of type 2 obesity, then it might be worthwhile. I'd have to see the data that supports the latter.
Isn't a government mandate that dictates what a person eats a problem for conservatives?
