Barack Obama, fundraising in New York City, where the guest fee was $35,800:
"Our kids are going to be fine. And I always tell Malia and Sasha, look, you guys, I don’t worry about you. … [T]hey're on a path that is going to be successful, even if the country as a whole is not successful.
But that’s not our vision of America. I don't want an America where my kids are living behind walls and gates and can't feel a part of a country that is giving everybody a shot."
All that matters is this figure, and it's jaw-dropping.
The unemployment rate, derived from a separate survey of households, was forecast to hold at 9 percent, according to the survey median. The decrease in the jobless rate reflected a 278,000 gain in employment at the same time 315,000 Americans left the labor force.
The labor participation rate declined to 64 percent from 64.2 percent.
Economists call that number "Discouraged Workers," and it's not something to celebrate.
Class struggle(in Marxist ideology) the conflict of interests between the workers and the ruling class in a capitalist society, regarded as inevitably violent. "Oh [Muslim] brothers, the nation that excels in the death industry, and knows how to die a noble [death], Allah grants it a precious life in this world and eternal bliss in the Afterlife. The only weakness that shall humiliate us is the love of this world and hating death. Therefore we have prepared your souls for great action, strive for death - and life will be given to you."-- From Palwatch translation of The Muslim Brotherhood handbook.
