ART CASHIN: The Unemployed Are Now Going On Disability And It's Costing The Government Billions
.......where do those people go who have stopped looking for work.
Their absence is credited with distorting the unemployment rate and making it lower than most expect or believe.
The reports I allude to, contended that many went on disability.
In fact, they projected that nearly 25% of those not actively seeking a job had applied for, and been accepted, by disability - mostly Social Security.

Obama’s Budget Proves He Should Not Be Reelected
President Obama does not deserve to be reelected.
By refusing to address the greatest challenge this nation faces – our financial security – Mr. Obama has failed the American people.
Despite warnings from the IMF, the credit ratings agencies, China -- our principal foreign creditor -- and the American people, the president continues to offer up budgets and programs that ignore the dire trajectory of Medicare and Social Security spending, putting the future of this nation at risk.

Steering trouble for Qantas A380 as Heathrow take-offs aborted
Steering trouble for Qantas A380 as Heathrow take-offs aborted The Australian
A QANTAS jet carrying 435 passengers has veered off course along a runway at London's Heathrow airport during two aborted take-off attempts because of a steering fault.
The superjumbo A380 pilots twice abandoned the take-off due to the steering problems with the plane.
The Singapore-bound flight was scheduled to leave Heathrow at 9.30pm local time on Saturday (8.30am AEDT on Sunday) but never left the runway.
A Qantas spokeswoman said the plane had returned to the terminal building and was being examined by engineers.
She said the plane was returned to service and took off without incident at 1.59am local time after engineers had conducted "multiple checks" on the aircraft.
