job growth stalled while unemployment benefits set to expire

So you were all Gung-Ho for this big turnaround in the job picture huh. Well you may need to put that idea on the ice for a while as the Feds are coming back and revising the job growth picture, essentially point to stalled job growth compounded with unemployment benefits set to expire. The long and short of it is that the Feds are saying that up to 50,000 jobs are being added monthly but approximately 150,000 new jobs are required just to keep up with the huge increase in population growth on a month to month basis.

Now lets take a guess at how many of the 150,000 contributing to the steady population growth are illegal aliens? Uhh Ohh - silence huh. Nobody wants to talk about that huh. Well if you ask me its a slap in the face to Americans that are already dealing with unemployment, now adding insult to injury with loosing a potential job opportunity to a person who is not even a legal resident of the US. Can you go to any other country in the world and be given preference for job openings before the natives of that soil? You know better than that - using my best English - it ain't going to happen. Yet we are debating about it here, versus closing the illegal alien loophole. Maybe its time for that change Washington promised...To top it off - the job openings picture has been revised until sometime 2010. Okay. So what about the millions on unemployment in danger of loosing their unemployment benefits by the end of the year? Let me guess - silence again huh. Stalled job growth is one thing, allowing unemployment benefits to expire by the end of 2009 is whole different thing. Enough already. geezzehh.
