No surprise, but evidently you don't understand what these numbers mean. The only hope here is that this will be an eye opener for Americans to "go in a different direction".

Was looking into the fastest growing economies on the planet, and in the top 12 (most are shit hole third world countries) are Iraq and Afghanistan. Now, I get it that a lot of that will likely be from rebuilding after we tore the shit out of their countries, but I'm wondering if that's really the reason we attack them...for the government and defense corps to make money on the rebuild. So, burn the tax dollars and the bodies for profit....

No, that's August. They are usually adjusted down the road though.

It's better than losing 800.000 jobs a month, but it needs to get better. I think that no matter who wins the election jobs will come down to what Congress does going forward. If they do nothing and the automatic cuts kick in and taxes are allowed to go up for everyone the economy will really be in trouble. Had this been worked out before the economy would probably be in a really good position right now.
