Steve's barking; The economic stastic that doesn't exist, but should

 There is an economic statistic that I can't find anywhere.
Da at da, that stat is how many people are unemployed compared to how many job openings.
Now this may very well be impossible to figure out, but if we did we could find out how to place an unemployed worker into a job that they could do, or at least what training is needed.

Steve's barking; There's nothing wrong with the U.S. Economy

If the labor statistics are correct we have 5% unemployment and going down. U.S. Inflation rate is under 2%. Wholly Mackerel we living in the  opposite  image of stagflation. We have good paying jobs such as truck drivers ( No college education needed) go unfilled. Now I keep hearing politicians from both major parties claiming that they are going to fix the economy creating more jobs, and keep inflation down. Now I'm just guessing they want to have less then zero unemployment and a true deflationary period along with finding those elusive unicorns.

Steve's barking; Did the U.S. economy just go pffft

In NY this holiday season I see inattentive workers.
I see signs all over the place help wanted.
I've read not to long ago we have a shortage of truck drivers.
These are sign that the economy is going great guns and that inflation as economist know it is on it's way.
But wait a minute, what going to happen to those well paid oil workers? And what about those oil companies that are mortgaged up to,the gill? After all the price of oil is on the down side of the roller coaster.
Now that the Federal Reserve had raise it rate and expected to do so more in the coming year, giving banks an excuse to raise the rate of borrowing, but not interest on savings( there isn't a great need for money).
Now let's assume that the cost of borrowing money becomes to high for the retailer, the fast food palace, and the trucking companies. Would those help wanted signs come down. Would those inattentive worker becoming attentive? (nah).
Will the raising of interest rates and falling oil prices put the U.S. economy on great footing or will the U.S. Economy stick it's tongue an go  pffft to America?

Steve's baking; We want to Block the wrong guys!

There's a group in America that wants to block Muslims, Spanish speaking South Americans, other that they deem undesirable. Well the fact of the matter we should be blocking undesirables from taking up valuable time on the airways. Maybe you don't know who I'm talking about. To give just a little heads up, those guys who gloom and doom the economy on channels such as CNBC.
Heck there was this ex Doctor , congressman who stated that it would be a disaster for the US if the Feds did't raise it's interest rate. This is the same person who wants to do away with the Federal Reserve. Bar the man from speaking on the air.

I've commented before that there's a good chance for a depression if the Feds raise interest rates and oil declines. My Analysis is based on logic with a little bit of history thrown. If we continue to let unintelligent ladies and gents on the airways giving misinformation, that can go airways with what I call economic terrorism, and it gets a hold of the way people think this country and county's that circulate nonsense on the air those counties run the risk of financial major down turn.
Of cause these terrorist will blame the very reasons that would have stopped the fiscal down turn, and like religious terrorist they will have their converts. So please bar these terrorist from the airways.

Of cause the US constitution says we have free speech in this country, so,we better beware.

Now I understand this is a rambling blog that may not be understood. So be it.

Steve's barking; Trying to lock out a group of people from coming to America. Same as it ever was!

The Emperor Donald talks of barring Muslims from this country. He ain't the first who talked of barring a religious group from the shores of the US. Why the No Nothing Party what end to bar Catholics out of fear.In the thirties we limited my co-religion peoples from coming to our shores.
Those who didn't want German Jews from coming stated that some Nazi sabators may slip through disguised as Jews. Sound familiar to day.

America even in the beginning of the nation certain people in government tried to bar French persons from coming to our shore for they might bring the stench of the French Revolution with them.

We've made laws barring Chinese from coming here.

We've limited Asians and Africans from becoming citizens.

So the Emperor (Jones) Donald is saying nothing new despite what you read in the papers.

Steve's barking; It's tough to be a Muslim in today's world.

In today's world because of some self - righteous (several million out of over a billion) Muslims there is hatred and fear in the world against them. They must feel this every day. Being stared at. Being cussed at. Having the rest of the world hate you.  Now if it wasn't bad enough that you are treated badly by a large majority of the world, but when your own brothers and sisters treat you worse then those who are not your co-religionists all in the name of Allah that's pretty bad.
There are those who say that they will try to help you but you are leery.

Into today's world there is more turmoil in the mostly Muslim Arab world then ever.
The people living there need peace more then ever. It seems that the first thing that Allah should do is turn the hate and fear into calm and have those  who have been wronged (perceivably or actually) to turn the other cheek. The second thing Allah must do is punish those who do evil in his name.
All must love themselves and love thy neighbor if you believe that God made us in his image you must respect and do no harm to your fellow man.
