“Yesterday the government announced that it was “selling” the thousands of RV’s used to house Katrina victims at $5 – $10 apiece…”

Now there is a fine example of our government’s ability to inefficiently spend/lose our money. It’s good to know that we have so much.

There’s no hope even for RV sales…

Yesterday the government announced that it was “selling” the thousands of RV’s used to house Katrina victims at $5 – $10 apiece…

It ought to put a whammy on RV sales when you know you can get them from the government for less than a pack of cigarettes…

Barry:

You must have exhausted yourself at the Big Picture Conference, because you completely miffed this chart.

It says temp help DECLINED both month over month AND year over year.

Unless you are drinking the Kool-Aid, a smaller decline does not equal improving.

I believe that most workers in Japan are temps now, are they not? Or least it’s a big percentage. Think that’s what will happen here. Permanent temps, as CNBC Sucks notes above. Might help RV sales. People can just buy and live in their RV and roam the country hitting new temp jobs along the way. I hear Wal Mart allows RV’s to park in their lots for free?

I think I found the new bubble – RV living.

You are a tremdnous slepler, Rihtolz.

The shift from full-time to part-time is all a part of the recessionary meme, is it not?

Why do they still call these jobs “temporary” when they will be “permanent” for many people?

That term “sleight” may prove to be more correct than the other (“slight”).
