Obama’s America Is Sinking
by Jeff Davis

It just isn’t stopping. It just isn’t going away. Obama’s America is sinking. No one big cataclysmic crash just yet (if you don’t count major car companies going bankrupt and California handing out IOU’s). There seems to be a gradual crumbling into the dust.
The Los Angeles Times reports “California’s unemployment rate in May hit 11.5% — its highest level in more than three decades — but the pain of losing work isn’t being shared equally between the sexes. The state lost 68,900 jobs in May as unemployment rose from a revised 11.1% in April and 6.8% in May 2008. This is the highest rate since the national record-keeping system began in 1976. Out of every four jobs lost nationwide since the recession began in December 2007, three have been lost by men. Some experts have dubbed the phenomenon a ‘mancession.’ ”
Does the L.A. Times consider this a good thing? It’s curious that the Times would even speak at all of a topic which is generally verboten in the mainstream media. White males have been virtually banned from entry level jobs in clerical, administrative and financial fields for decades. These jobs being exlcusively the province of women of all races, including a huge number of black females who are considered affirmative action “two-fers”.
The Times notes “In California, the gap between the two groups has been widening since the end of August. Back then, the unemployment rate over the preceding 12 months was the same for men and women, 6.3%. By May, the 12-month rate was 9.6% for men and 8.2% for women. The result: Pressure on households that once had two earners and were relatively comfortable. ‘Now there are many families in which the woman is the sole earner and the man has been laid off or is working part-time, said Lauren Appelbaum, a UCLA researcher. ‘Men are suffering more in this downturn because they are heavily represented in construction and manufacturing…’ ”
But aren’t those the jobs that indicate the economy is healthy? Some of this disparity may be due to women being heavily represented as teachers and nurses, which are largely exempt from the normal pressures of a bad economy.
Obama’s $787 billion dollar stimulus bill has no doubt created more political bureaucrat jobs. Notice the bail outs and stimulus plans are not creating any actual productive jobs, just recycling all that money within the Democrat party and its constituents. (more…)
