Some folks are too stupid to understand that the "Tea Party" is NOT an actual political party, but only a "Movement" of like minded people who want the gov't to get out of the way and quit stifling growth, along with less spending on entitlements and waste.

Just like Zinke. :lol: :lol:


Oh I think there is a lot of people that see it just like me and this fella who's article was in todays paper:


U.S. House race: Zinke sees beyond black and white

10 hours ago


Ryan Zinke is just the person we want in Congress. Why? Because all we now have are people who either see white or black. And because of that they aren’t getting anything resolved and this country desperately needs matters resolved.

Zinke sees gray. Gray-seeing people will get matters resolved. White/black-seeing people don’t and won’t.

David Bennett, Thompson Falls

People are tired of folks that have NO positive ideas- and just say NO to everything... They realize that reading Dr. Suess all day from the Senate or House floor is not the way to accomplish anything- especially when it puts the country's economy in danger... I agree- many of the issues in government are not black and white- any actions or nonactions have a reaction- and often is a grey area-- and often these have to be weighed into the decision making process...

The people that sent the guy to Congress to stop it's destruction of the economy is the state where people are flooding for jobs.




Sioux Falls jobless rate drops as recruiting steps up

Jodi Schwan, [email protected] 11:06 p.m. CDT May 23, 2014


The Sioux Falls unemployment rate dropped to 3.3 percent in April to reach its lowest level this year, according to the South Dakota Department of Labor and Regulation.

That represents 4,470 unemployed people, a decrease of 755 people from March.

Compared with the same time last year, the unemployment rate was basically flat. Unemployment bottomed out at 2.9 percent last fall.

Activity is picking up at the Sioux Falls office of the Department of Labor and Regulation. There were 3,208 jobs listed with the office Friday compared with 2,388 on the same date last year.

“It’s a continued joyful listing of a lot of job orders,” said Greg Johnson, who manages the Sioux Falls office. “We have more and more employers seeking out face-to-face time here in our office, different that during the recession. We’ve got requests from numerous people who want to weekly be at the South Dakota Department of Labor.”

One financial services employer makes weekly presentations at workshops for job seekers, Johnson said.

“We’re happy for that to be out here,” he said. “Since we know they’re going to be here, we can schedule people (for interviews).”

Demand has increased in construction and transportation in the past 60 days, Johnson said.

“Clearly this is their big time of year when they have to get workers to maximize how much they can get done in South Dakota during the working season,” he said. “So I look at them as the current short-term thermometer of how intense the demand is.”

South Dakota is tied for the nation’s fifth lowest unemployment rate with Utah. North Dakota has the lowest, at 2.6 percent, followed by Vermont, Nebraska and Wyoming.


I didn't know Cruz was from North Dakota :???: :wink: :p :lol:

Here I always thought he acted like a Texan - all hat and no cattle... Texas isn't even on the top 5 list of states for unemployment rates...

In fact Texas's at 4.7% is almost the same as Montana's- and we have two Democrat Senators... :???:


Montana's recovery from recession is complete, but workers needed



Drilling and workover rigs operate along North Dakota’s Little Missouri River. A research and consulting firm estimates that oil production in North Dakota and Montana will average 1.1 million barrels per day this year.

Fueled by job growth around the Bakken oil fields, Montana has fully recovered from the lingering recession, reaching employment levels not seen in five years, according to a state economist.

But businesses desperately need new workers to meet growing demand and replace retirees, or they will struggle to grow, said Barbara Wagner, chief economist of the state’s Department of Labor and Industries. Montana gained about 10,000 jobs in the first four months of 2014, equal to the total job gains in both 2012 and 2013.

“For Montana, and the United States as a whole, we have a huge baby boomer population that is retiring, and there is not enough workers, or enough people period, to replace the baby boomers,”
Wagner said.

“It’s pretty hard to run your business when you can’t find workers. ... People lose money in their business when they can’t find workers,” she said last week.

In April, the most recent data available, Montana’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate was 4.8 percent, the lowest in more than five years. The last time the state’s jobless rate fell below 5 percent was August 2008, just as the recession began strangling the economy nationwide.

The state lost about 30,000 jobs from 2008 to 2010, largely because of slowdowns in construction, the collapse of the housing market and cutbacks in the timber industry. It took four years for statewide employment levels to come back, largely because of the Bakken boom and related service jobs that have popped up in Eastern Montana, Wagner said.

The Bakken is lifting all areas of the state because the high-paying oil industry jobs are attracting workers to move from other parts of Montana, Wagner said.

The unemployment rate is the most common barometer of economic health in the region. In Montana, the unemployment rate peaked at nearly 7 percent in 2010.

Yellowstone County’s unemployment rate in April was 3.2 percent.

Wagner said she expects total jobs statewide to grow 1.7 percent in 2014 and 2015, with the health care industry leading the way. Wages are also continuing to grow about 1 percent faster than inflation each year, giving workers more purchasing power for groceries, gasoline and other goods, she said.

“Montana’s economy is doing very well,” she said.

“Montana’s economy is doing very well,” she said.
She echoes exactly what I've been saying for quite sometime- if you want to work, there are lots of jobs... Some counties in Montana have unemployment rates of 2%...
If people don't have a job- its because they don't want to work...

Kind of like your other endeavors when you left? :lol: :lol: :lol:

Probably no longer any need for welfare, or food stamps...maybe those employed people, could even pay for their own abortions and birth control, instead of having the government intruding into people's bedrooms and legislating that the taxpayer pay for it?

Yeah you're right that is exactly what I said..... oh wait, no it's not. :lol:

where people are flooding for jobs

Three of the nation's five fastest-growing cities — and seven of the top 15 — are located in the Lone Star State, new data from the Census Bureau shows.
:shock:

Texas is made of more than just oil patch jobs with the riff raff you are so disgusted by.

But curious, are you now proud of all the oil patch riff raff? I just can't keep up with all the stuff you are against before you are for it. :lol:

Oh yeah, do you know where the richest zip code in America is? Dumb Texans. :lol:
