The Obama Recovery Continues

  • As the economic recovery continues to sputter, several Chicago-area companies have announced plans for more layoffs, starting next month.

    A total of seven Illinois companies have filed reports with the state that it plans to lay off a total of more than 600 workers, starting next month.

    Among the Chicago-area companies affected: Morgan Stanley, Jewel-Osco, Bistro 110, Emmis Communications and Ryerson.

Where's Quinn with a few more imaginary millions of dollars to save these jobs?

Lets hope and pray that this barry obama "experiment" is gone 2012!

They are all moving to other areas were people want to work and rase a family. If I worked for a company and they said were moving to IL I would say no thanks. I like living.

I'm slowly incorporating cat food into my meals so I am used to eating it by the time I retire in a couple of years.

While the ghetto rats spend their Link money on whatever they want, I will be having Meow Mix with milk.

Went into a ghetto rathole last week and there were several bottles of Belvedere vodka on the counter.

Love the way he's so arrogant about a private corporation's decision to close. Obviously, the store was not supported by the area. Reminds me of all the excitement about the Starbucks at 87th and Kedzie. Closed without fanfare. The politicians talk about wanting this and that but the residents lifestyle don't support those types of businesses.

governor quinn has about 33,000 people who would like him beheaded---- they are the state's unionized employees who just found out that they will get no raises this year--- this follows what the chicago board of education got away with--- after almost 3 years without a contract arbitrator benn gave the chicago police department a 6.5 percent raise over 5 years--- quinn summarily took that right away with an increase in state taxes---- in june 2012 our contract once again expires and things are not looking good with a 700 million dollar budget deficit--- the survival of the pension fund has to be our biggest priority when we go back to the table....

Employment rises to 9.2%, only 18k jobs created last month, previous months revised lower. "There ain't no recovery, son." Government does not create wealth and jobs, business does. Why do you unionists continue to support these socialist politicians who are destroying American jobs. Puppets

At least the Republicans will let
you know upfront that if you ain't
got no money they can't and won't
try to help you, but the current crop of Democrats are sticking their hands in your hip-pocket to
snatch your wallet and it's contents as they push you into the
pit of poverty, all the time trying
to convinve you that they have your
best interests at heart and it's for your own good. The econony was
bad under Bush, but it has worsened under Obama and the sad
part is he doesn't have a clue as how to reverse the decline and his
handlers are letting him flounder
in the wind.

great recovery right barry? This man has single underhandedly completely destroyed the economy,by having no clue what he is doing! But he golfs alot,his wife has been taking her family and friends everywhere all over the world on our dime though! He will go down as the worst president in history, and eventually people will find out he was not even born in the USA! Like turbin durbin told the illegal kids "They could 1 day be president" think he was hinting about barry not being a citizen??

Meanwhile... in Chicago

About 2,500 jobs remain unfilled in the Chicago Police Department. Jobs that are in the city budget and funded by some of the highest taxes in the nation. 2,500 secure jobs with good pay and benefits.

Now why isn't Jesse and Father Pflakey marching their phlocks on city hall demanding those jobs be filled by their people.

I suppose when enough of the old guard, the teachers of what is to really be the police pass on and there are so few left that chaos runs the streets that is exactly what will happen. Then we will get the Obama inspired socialist orientated police they want.

JellyQuinn will continue to shovel taxpayer money out the door to companies with huge manufacturing plants outside the country. Try buying a pair of shoes not made in China,
Like all that cheap lead tainted crap at WalMart.
OBongo yaked up a storm at a factory in Alllentown PA that now closed up shop, his next speech promises high tech robotics as the future. This is the same idiot who said ATM's were an example (and the cause) for no jobs.
It's only construction jobs building WalMarts and hiring $10 an hours clerks we've been seeing. And dont forget the Hi Speed Railroad to St. Louis, Milwaukee, maybe Detroit & the prison B-Line downstate. I don't see much revenue coming from those locales.
Motorola and others still hire thousands in sweat shops overseas.
There's no future for manufacturing here in Illinois.
There's no future in Illinois.
Democrats will continue to give what ever money they can squeeze out of the remaining taxpayers to the deadbeats.

Seriously, Obama is the worst president we've ever had. Black, blue, white or purple, he sucks.

He's full of hot air just like the Dems who trained him. He makes promises he never intends to keep, tells the people what they want to hear, and gets rich in the process.

I hope the voters speak at the polls. Even black people were protesting at the Daley Center today about how ineffective the gov't is, and how it must do something to provide jobs!

obama's daddy was a known communist socialist sympathizer--- rob from the rich and give to the poor---- obama is almost as bad as benedict arnold---- obama has tons of money, he doesn't have to worry about a pension or social security--- fuck him, he hasn't done a damn thing to change anything in the past 3 years, he only made it worse....

The problem is the businesses whining about paying their fair share of the taxes. What do they care anyway? They'll just pass it along to us anyway. God forbid any of them actually give up some profits for the massive government services they use. Have you ever thought about how much it costs to process & prosecute a $150 shoplifter the arrest, the prints, the inventory, the bosses approval, the housing of the offender, court costs - judge, reporter, security, building, ac, water, restrooms, continuances, etc? The $150 retail translates to what, a $25 loss to the store? (Remember, theft from a store is a felony at $150 retail, including tax while for a regular joe it's $300 cuz they have big bucks to pay the lobbyists to convince the law makers.) Not to mention the obscene costs of protecting their property rights globally or the streets, phone, internet, on & on & on. Why don't the politicians say a word? Cuz republican or democrat, the rich line their campaign funds.

Globalization of the economy means national defense to protect property rights internationally. That is pretty expensive and helps no one here in the US.

For decades, I found the employees at Jewel to be friendly and helpful, and they always appeared to be working their tails off. Look for quality to continue to dive at Jewel, just as it has at Dominick's. This really makes me wary of food safety issues and produce freshness etc.
