CALIFORNIA’S UNEMPLOYMENT RATE

As of December 2009, the unemployment rate in California is 12.4%, up from 11.9% in July. Here’s the tally on some cities of interest: Bakersfield - 15.8%; Chico - 13.4%; Fresno – 16.8%; Los Angeles Metro – 12.0%; Oakland Metro – 10.9%; Redding – 15.9%; Sacramento – 12.3%; San Francisco Metro – 8.9%; Yuba City – 19.6%. These figures are not seasonally adjusted, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

COMMENTS:
It appears to me that the place to look is in the Bay Area. Keep in mind that these figures do not include the under-employed or those who have quit looking or have fallen off of the UEC roles. In Washington, a bi-partisan jobs bill was created in the Senate committee and Harry Reid scuttled that plan. Why? Why are these people so content to watch Americans suffer while they go after a Health Care Plan that 67% of Americans don’t want? Why that?

TODAY’S QUERIES AND ANSWERS:
Q. I heard that the Administration is trying to shut down bloggers on the Internet. How can they do that? (Maggie ~ Verdi – NV)
A. They can’t. But, the word is that writers who post threatening blogs may be added to the Terrorist Watch List, which means they can’t fly. Who wants to fly, anyway? There are more hassles in flying today than ever before.

Q. You painted this picture of Obama putting his version of the Health Care Plan on the Internet on Monday and then having this “summit” on Thursday and then ramming his plan through a 51% majority of both Houses over next weekend and signing it by March 1st. I haven’t heard a word about the plan or its being posted Monday. (Frank ~ Princeton, NJ)
A. The White House announced it late Friday so that the brainless media wouldn’t pick up on it. The media takes weekends off, you know, because no news happens on weekends.

Q. I hear there’s been another murder in a cruise ship? (Tom ~ Cambria, CA)
A. There has been a 32-year old woman’s body found in a cabin on the Carnival Ecstasy. They’re doing an autopsy to determine the cause of death. There’s no word yet on whether the woman was 32 years old, or the body has been there for 32 years.
