Oregon already has a budget deficit and (I believe) the highest unemployment rate in the country.

Could be wrong, but I believe that that dubious honor belongs to my state of Rhode Island.

I have a question, do we know you? I only ask because "TANSTAAFL" is something I've seen before. Since this is somewhat of a spin-off, It's cool to know what people were known elsewhere.

Welcome aboard though.  :cheersmate:

And he was absolutely correct about that.

Turns out we're both wrong.  But you were closer than I was.  As of December, 2008, the ten worst (including a separate line item for D.C.) are:

42    GEORGIA     8.1
43    INDIANA    8.2
44    NORTH CAROLINA    8.7
45    DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA    8.8
46    OREGON    9.0
47    NEVADA    9.1
48    CALIFORNIA    9.3
49    SOUTH CAROLINA    9.5
50    RHODE ISLAND    10.0
51    MICHIGAN    10.6

Well, at least MI has an excuse what with the auto industry tanking and all. Oregon's on the list simply because sleepy Ted (in spite of all his task forces) can't keep his hand out of the corporate cookie jar long enough for companies to grow. No wonder they're moving elsewhere.

What's going on in South Carolina and Georgia, that's causing that?

I can understand, easily, all the others on that list.

The unemployment rate in Nebraska is a straight 4.0% in this 0bamareich; during the "horrible Bush economy," it never got higher than 2.7%.

I thought 0bama was going to fix this; as God knows, he's had enough time by now, based upon the promises of the 0bamaites and the 0bamaite primitives.

You aren't much older than me.  I started Junior High School (at the time 7, 8, 9 grade) in 1974, then only 2 years later my school system switched from elementary 1-6, junior high 7-9, high school 10-12 to elementary k-5, middle school 6-8, high school 9-12 the same year I was moving into 9th grade.  Not sure if I was cheated, it was an advantage, or it was all the same.  Any way you look at it, public schools have only gotten progressively worse since sometime before I ever started school.

You're just a puppy! I started junior high, 7th grade, in 1967....

If you've seen my avatar cat or the name lnthomp elsewhere, that's me.  I came here from a link I saw in a post on NewsBusters.  I'm also a frequent forum participant at Irregular Webcomic! and I occasionally write at Epinions  I noticed someone else here is using TANSTAAFL in their tagline.  I don't use it regularly, but it seemed appropriate lately. 


bitchslapped because anyone with a kitty avatar needs to be bitchslapped.



carry on.
