Please explain US initial jobless claims report

Fair enough Kitty, this lemming will let it be. I might dig this thread up in six months to a year for re-evaluation though.

Everywhere you look, we're fucked. Every social program is bursting at the seams. Local, state and federal budget deficits are out of control. We're polluting the environment at an incredible pace (GOM). Unemployment. Medicare, Social Security. Wars we can't win, but can't leave either. Commercial/residential foreclosures and a dead real estate market. Banks that are insolvent except for FED intervention and mark to fantasy accounting. Markets that are front run and manipulated by HFT algos. General hate, selfishness and discontent of the American populace. Just seems to me like everything is falling apart.

Now Premier Obama wants to spend 50 Billion on building infrastructure and roads. He said it had been neglected under Bush, but in reality appropriations went up when Bush was President, so just another blatant lie by the Premier.
