We will feel it before our pumps are reading $5.  I'm sure eastbound freight rates out of California are skyrocketing.  Much of the produce you see on the shelves in the grocery store is grown in California.  Keep an eye on your grocery bill.  

NO SH!T.....that's what I've been watching.....and I refuse to be a hamster chasing the coupons......I work all day
to get SO CALLED REAL $$ to buy my groceries...I shouldn't have to spend another minute clipping for more dollars...
it's dehumanizing and disrespectful and they can kiss my a$$.....

Jack Welch Takes His Column and Goes Home
By Tim Sprinkle

On Tuesday it was reported that the former General Electric CEO and his wife -- former Harvard Business Review editor-in-chief, Suzy Welch -- would no longer be writing their joint, biweekly column for Fortune magazine and Reuters.com, informing the editors of both publications via email that they were terminating their contract because they felt that they would get better "traction" for their writing elsewhere. The couple's articles have been running on Fortune since March 2012...........................>>>>............................>>>>....................................http://finance.yahoo.com/blogs/the-exchange/jack-welch-takes-column-goes-home-181843415.html

Didn't Jack Welch used to be somebody?  

It's the altitude. Wait until Joe Biden aka Foot in Mouth takes the podium. Obama/Biden are finished. They
should be impeached for lying about the 4 murders in Libya.

Nah, they are adopting the "bad intel" defense used by GWB for WMD's in Iraq.

Jack Welch... an expert on "Fudging the Numbers"!

"Five years of sterling GE earnings were themselves the result of aggressive data-massaging.
It suggests that nearly all of those earnings were a mirage -- as was Welch's reputation as a manager.

US unemployment aid applications jump to 388,000

Published October 18, 2012

Associated Press
WASHINGTON –  Weekly applications for U.S. unemployment benefits jumped 46,000 last week to a seasonally adjusted 388,000, the highest in four months. The increase represents a rebound from the previous week's sharp drop. Both swings were largely due to technical factors.

The four-week average of applications, a less volatile measure, fell slightly to 365,500, the Labor Department said Thursday. That is a level consistent with modest hiring.

Last week, California reported a large drop in applications, pushing down the overall figure to the lowest since February 2008. This week, it reported a significant increase as it processed applications delayed from the previous week.

A department spokesman said the seasonally adjusted numbers "are being distorted ... by an issue of timing."

Applications are a proxy for layoffs. When they decline, it suggests hiring is improving.

Some recent reports suggest the economy is picking up. Retail sales grew in September at a healthy clip. And builders started construction on new homes and apartments last month at the fastest pace in more than four years.

Still, the economy is not growing fast enough to generate much hiring. Growth slowed to a tepid annual rate of 1.3 percent in the April-June quarter, down from 2 percent in the previous quarter. Most economists see growth staying at or below 2 percent in the second half of the yea

Obama is finished. He has lost Florida and North Carolina. The entire Midwest is falling. And look at his
crashing California numbers. A 40 State landslide for the Romney/Ryan Recovery team. Another lie this time
on Fast and Furious which was started under ERIC HOLDER not Bush.
