Well folks, sure looks like things are improving each and every month. Between now and next summer I am predicting jobs will be back as well.
This news must be starting to worry Republicans, as they were praying for the economy to go under and jobs to be lost --- at least till November 2010's election is over.
No coonsey, we were/are not praying for the economy to go under or jobs to be lost. Nice try.

Actually, you and many of your fellow travelers of the lunatic right are doing just that. You lack both the honesty to admit it and the sense to understand that harming everyone hurts you too.

Your misconceptions are really unfortunate. I'm not sure what basis you have to think that I am doing such things, but it's off-base. You just like to hurl insults without any basis for them.
Have a nice day.

You may not being PRAYING but I'm betting the bulk of you are crossing your fingers that the nation stays the way it was this summer. How else would you stand a chance of winning back any seats in the House/Senate?

I'm not praying nor crossing my fingers that we stay in this economic funk. I'd like to keep my job, you know.

In fact, if you listen to Dick Cheney and people that support him, they were hoping we'd get attacked again....just in time for the election cycle to begin.

Without job creation, the stimulus didn't serve it's intended purpose. And since the republicans did their very best to cut as much as they could from the bill, they should be immensely happy. We are on our way to were Argentina already is. Just look at their economy today then compare it where they were 20 years ago. What you'll see the a economic wasteland and that's were the US is heading if the republicans have any say.

Thai Business District Federation eyes top spot by 2012
The president of Thai Business District Federation (TBDF), Chanin Jitkomut targets all major members becoming the leader in the worldwide lifestyle-appliance market by 2012 after gearing up all members from this year onwards. Boonlert Paovisit, project leader for the textiles and leathergoods division of TBDF, yesterday said that among the factors leading to confidence of TBDF’s members are theirs integrated operations in the country - all production bases plus sales and services. Besides, it can manage lower costs in order to market reasonably priced products because the members of TBDF are fully conversant with production costs. This means they can choose the lowest raw-material costs from the FTA’s advantages, said Boonlert, who is also director of TBDF’s FTA sensitive issue. Apart from Thailand, TBDF plans to cooperate with international organizations in seven countries: Italy, United State of America, China, Pakistan, India, Bangladesh and Russia.
"I used to be president of Asian Connect's operations in Myanmar. We took many months to push Thai’s brands to become the market leader, with a 25-per-cent share in that country. Although there are many local and international brands in that country such as Star, Crusher, MYA, Step and Ven, we finally achieved the No-1 position. But for Vietnam, we wish to take only three years from 2009 to become the leader in the lifestyle-appliance market," he said. He acknowledged that Vietnam consumers' perception of the Thai brand was one of expensive lifestyle appliances. Moreover, there are many strong brands, which have marketed in Vietnam for a long time. But TBDF’s members will boost pre- and after-sales service as theirs strength to compete with other countries.
