Governor Bob McDonnell of Virginia is considered successful by the majority of the population in Virginia. Virginia’s unemployment rate is 6.8% at the most recent count. Look for your state and see where your state is ranked with relation to other states. Many of the lower unemployment rates are associated with sparsely populated states. Virginia is rather populated and that is the reason we are highlighting them and their governor. Governor McDonnell sports a low 26% disapproval rating and 57% approval rating.
Governor McDonnell is a Republican who won the 2009 election in a landslide against Democratic opponent Creigh Deeds. A position previously held by interim Governor Tim Kaine. Some argue that Virginia received $2.5 billion in stimulus money yet the Governor publicly bashed and stood against President Obama in signing the stimulus package. Every state benefited to some degree and the money was suppose to trickle down to various programs per state. We may not know the intricacies of why certain states are ranked where they are, but we know Virginia is doing well in terms of statistics. Even if some don’t fully agree with their politics, at least some of their decisions and methods must be correct and working in favor of the public.

Statistics are courtesy of http://www.bls.gov/web/laus/laumstrk.htm and were as of November/2010. There has not been much of a change worth mentioning in December/2010.

The national unemployment rate fell to 9.4% at the close of last year in December, 2010. The country experienced a gain of 103,000 jobs. There is a dilemma with these figures. Some say that while jobs are being created, there is also a faction of the unemployed population that is blending into the background of our society and they are becoming invisible. These are the people who no longer qualify for unemployment and have basically given up after two, three, four, five and more years without a job. We must also consider that portion of the population that is approaching retirement age and few to no employers are giving them any consideration.
Even though we didn’t create as many jobs as we wanted last month, there was a trade off in that unemployment was reduced in terms of rates more than anticipated by the experts. Experts wanted one hundred fifty thousand jobs to be created. We were short by forty seven thousand. The government had its share of lay offs and cut backs of approximately ten thousand workers. Nearly one and a half million Americans qualify as unemployed who are outside the radar range. In other words they have essentially given up looking for work.
We need to experience an increase of about 300,000 jobs for it to impact the labor rate. A job growth spurt of 150,000 only accounts for and balances out the newest members of our population (birth/immigration). The statistics reveal a total job loss of 8.5 million during this recession. Others argue a much higher number is more realistic ranging from fifteen to twenty million jobs lost. We enjoyed a gain of 1.1 million jobs in the entire year of 2010. 2010 proved to be the best year for hiring since 2007 when the recession began under the former administration. On average the last quarter of the year 2010 yielded job gains of 128,000 per month.
Overall although we’d all like to see a quick fix to the recession and unemployment, the statistics speak loud and clear that we are on the UPSWING in terms of the economy, the job market and the overall recession. We are climbing up and out of our ditch and that is great news. Again, it is slow but it appears rather steady. We have to begin looking at the plus side of all of this. This is a country that was still facing stagnant issues with collision of American & Russian satellites; North Korea launches a rocket which spawns a meeting of the United Nations Security Council; H1N1 virus reached epidemic proportions; Government takeover of GMC because of grave financial issues; American Samoas are hit by an 8.3 earthquake rendering total destruction;
Red River flooding in Fargo North Dakota; Mount Redoubt in Alaska errupts on several occasions; Tornados ripped through the midwest and south and in areas not typically affected by tornados;
Dubai asks for a deferment on their debt after it completed monumental renovations and other construction and development projects, as a result stock markets drop significantly world wide in every major market (11/2009); Effects of Hurricane Katrina still linger and people remain homeless, the BP Oil Spill (spring of 2010), The Afghan War, the Iraqi War, the call of duty and rapid response to the victims of a monumental earthquake in Haiti, entire countries are being bailed out of financial ruin by the European Union (we are not one of them because we are not part of the European Union)…
This is merely a handful of items and events that occurred in the last two years. Eventhough we faced all of these issues and so many more, we are still climbing upward despite our obstacles. What does that tell you about our nation?

IS IT A RECESSION OR A TRANSITION?
every single country on this planet which is NOT an INDUSTRIAL COUNTRY is a poor country. Most people would agree with this statement. We were once an inudstrial country but now we are in a transition. Most would agree with this statement as well. This is what they mean when they say we are not in a recession or a depression. What we are experiencing is the transition period itself of the shift from industrial to non-industrial and there is a great deal of fall-out from such activity. We have outsourced countless jobs away from the USA for good. Our technology has increased thereby moving industrialism to the side according to the speaker. It’s suggested that our repair of the ccountry must come from a structural standpoint. In other words we must address the very structure of our country and economy and re-establish it before we can even think about reaching any level of success in generating jobs. This is not a Democrat or a Republican issue. It supersedes every political party and style of offense and defense whether that be liberal or conservative.
GOP TAKES THE HOUSE – OTHER RESULTS IN THE STATES
GOP TAKES THE HOUSE – OTHER RESULTS IN THE STATES The GOP takes the majority in the House of Representatives. It appears the Senate majority may remain with the Democrats, but it is too early to finalize this. This has been the change the GOP has been talking about and hoping for early on in President Obama’s term. We hope everyone is able to work together and recognize and acknowledge the seriousness of our country’s dilema. We can’t afford to squander any time as people continue to lose their jobs, lose unemployment compensation, lose their homes and nearly everything that makes Americans feel safe and warm. This country must stop with blaming one leader over another or one party over another and simply pull together and get the job done VOTE

WHO’S RUNNING FOR OFFICE & WHAT DO THEY STAND FOR? (11-2-10)
With no unemployment extensions and no increase in job availability, people are running out of options, time and patience. We are doing our part every day to encourage employers to consider expansion and growth. We agree with some of our readers that at some point the real repairs to the economy are going to have to come from us and the market itself. There isn’t much any government or administration can do to positively impact the domestic and international markets. Its been several years now and we are no further along than we were when people first started losing their jobs in large numbers. Any changes that have taken place have occurred without effecting the middle and lower classes in a positive way. The bail out money from President Bush and President Obama was suppose to help stir growth in our economy, but it appears that money is long gone. The purpose it probably served was to help prevent these companies from collapsing all together.
REAL REPAIRS:
Putting a halt on spending, hiring, growth, and general market activity is what compounds the issues of the economy further. Everyone is frozen in fear and we think we are doing the right thing by stopping when in fact we are adding to the issues in our economy which eventually will come back to harm many more businesses more severely. What good is it to hold on to the dollars you have if the value of the dollar becomes worthless? A worthless dollar is worth nothing whether you have ten of them, a thousand of them or a million of them. If it turns into Monopoly money then quantity will have no impact on its worth. We have to start thinking in terms of fixing this one person at a time, one family at a time, one business at a time and one community at a time. Consumers seem to be doing their part as they hit the malls and retail shops along with the Internet and catalogues for general shopping, Christmas gifts, holiday gifts and other consumer related activities.
SNAP OUT OF IT:
I don’t know if most of us are still staring in the direction of Washington D.C. or what. We know they probably need our help as much as we need theirs. We might have a lot more flexibility than they do when it comes to impacting the economy. We must work in concert with what they are doing in D.C.. We have to snap out of the stunned gaze we have grown accustomed to when taking in all the two steps forward three steps backward sites of Washington D.C., our state and local politicians. If we wait for something to change on that end, we could be waiting a generation or more. For whatever reason their hands are tied. We’ve viewed a good number of the links our subscribers leave in their comments and they are interesting to say the least. We don’t care why their hands are tied or who tied them. We know we run into similar problems no matter who is in office. We can only assume they are also running into the same problems. The semantics no longer matter. We must begin moving. We have to grow. We have to stimulate our own growth. We can’t wait to hear a good word from the coach on the sidelines because he or she is immobile and stunned themselves. It is up to us as a few of our readers have suggested. If its not up to us, we need to take control and make sure it becomes about us.
WHAT ARE WE SUPPOSE TO DO?
Take risks. Not just any risk, but take calculated risks. Spend. Don’t just spend anything anywhere, but spend in the same calculated format that you assume other risks. Remember what kind of spirit you had when you first started your business, career or best part of your life. We took risks then didn’t we? Don’t let any event or anyone beat that lively spirit out of you.
We ask that you uphold your promises. Stay true to your word and CONGRATULATIONS to all those who have won their office and/or seat. Every last one of you remain in our prayers. We are counting on you to leave your egos in the dresser drawer and come to work every day with the American people in mind. Who are we? We are the poor, middle class, upper class, employed and unemployed, male and female, black, brown, yellow, red and white, young, old, & middle aged, physically challenged & mentally challenged, Christians & non-Christians, liberals & conservatives, Republicans and Democrats, and everyone else in between.
The GOP takes the majority in the House of Representatives. The Senate majority remains with the Democrats, but it appears they’ve lost six seats. This has been the change the GOP has been talking about and hoping for early on in President Obama’s term. We hope everyone is able to work together and recognize and acknowledge the seriousness of our country’s dilemma. We can’t afford to squander any time as people continue to lose their jobs, lose unemployment compensation, lose their homes and nearly everything that makes Americans feel safe and warm. This country must stop with blaming one leader over another or one party over another and simply pull together and get the job done.
There have been a lot of turn overs in this race and many Americans welcome the change and the balance that has been brought to Washington D.C.. This was a mid-term election and Republicans showed up and showed out in large numbers as if it was a general election. This is how Americans can be inspired and this is how Americans should be inspired in all camps, from all walks of life and from all parties.
What is the plan now? The GOP has made it very clear in their speeches that they want taxes reduced and jobs generated. They also expect small businesses to start hiring again. We have also heard the GOP will do what it can to put a stop to health care reform as President Obama has presented it to date. The people of America had the opportunity to speak today and they have done so in large numbers. Whether you are for or against these most recent changes, we should give every politician the opportunity and respect to do his or her job effectively.
Another common issue in speeches we heard through the evening and early morning is that no bill will be passed without it being read first. Of course the focus of this statement is the Health Care Reform bill. It has always been a source of contention for voters when we hear or see how bills are really passed. Its been reported that very few bills are read through from beginning to end because of their volume, complexity & time constraints. This is not an isolated issue with the Health Care Reform bill. Holding our politicians accountable regardless of party lines is the key. Follow their voting records and attendance records. Compare their voting records with the promises that lined their campaign speeches. Make no exceptions and remain objective in your assessments. Any one of us can promise anybody anything at any given time. The test of character is delivering on those promises.
There’s been a shift in everything from the gubernatorial races to the House races and even turnover in the Senate even if the majority remains with the Democrats. We invite all of you to check out who won which race and in which state by clicking on the attached link for PROJECT VOTE SMART

AN EASY WAY TO KNOW & RESEARCH ALL POLITICAL CANDIDATES & VOTE IN THE ELECTION OF 11-2-10. We are using Georgia as an example, but you can click on your state of interest at the end of the blog article: NEXT TUESDAY – VOTE
This upcoming election on November 2, 2010 is extremely important for a variety of reasons. We are entering the tail end of October and we remain in the thick of the effects of a recession that started years ago. Is it reasonable to expect this recession to be repaired by now? Is it reasonable to expect some improvement through partial repair by now? Are there repairs that have occurred but that are invisible to us? Could the country have collapsed completely as we know it, but we were spared such a tragedy because of the government’s work we fail or refuse to recognize? We speak to people every day who are unemployed and when its all said and done their unemployment compensation has been exhausted and they no longer care about what is or isn’t fair when evaluating our leaders. The unemployed want and need results. They are desperate and ready to lean on Democrats, Republicans, Tea Party supported candidates, Libertarians, Green Party candidates and Independents. The main focus is gambling on who we THINK might have the solutions and more importantly who has the most EXPEDIENT SOLUTIONS to unemployment, generating new jobs, motivating the cycle of spending through a stronger sense of financial security. How can Americans earn cash and gain wealth? How can businesses increase business and profits? How do we stabilize our economy and crawl out of this recession as quickly as possible? We can start by voting.
HOW DO YOU KNOW WHO AND WHAT YOU ARE VOTING FOR? THANKS TO PROJECT VOTE SMART, WE HAVE A LITTLE HELP IN THIS AREA.
On common ground at a unique research center high in the Montana Rockies, a struggling group of Americans, who you are unlikely to know and will probably never meet, have begun a battle. A battle to protect all of us from the selfish interests that strip us of the most crucial component in our struggle to self-govern — access to abundant, accurate, and relevant information. Here at Project Vote Smart, Americans young and old volunteer their time, take no money from special interest groups, and have committed themselves to an extraordinary effort that, if successful, will provide their fellow citizens with the tools for a reemergence of political power not known for half a century. Their idea is one you may have thought of yourself. It is a deceptively simple concept but enormously difficult to achieve and would not be possible without the collaboration of citizens willing to lay their partisan differences aside for this one crucial task.
Picture this: thousands of citizens (conservative and liberal alike) working together, spending endless hours researching the backgrounds and records of thousands of political candidates and elected officials to discover their voting records, campaign contributions, public statements, biographical data (including their work history) and evaluations of them generated by over 100 competing special interest groups. Every election these volunteers test each candidate’s willingness to provide citizens with their positions on the issues they will most likely face if elected through the Political Courage Test.

We have blogged a little about the Tea Party, Democratic Party, Republican Party, Green Party & now the Libertarian Party. As stated previously, politics effect health care, business, education, recruiting, marketing, economics & unemployment.
DID YOU KNOW WOMEN WERE GRANTED THE RIGHT TO VOTE IN 1920 AFTER A LONG BATTLE IN THE U.S.A.?
LIBERTARIAN: THE PARTY of PRINCIPLE (Smaller Government * Lower Taxes * More Freedom)
Libertarians believe in a multi dimensional political view (as opposed to liberal vs. conservative). Libertarians support the guiding principle of “mutual respect for rights”. In other words, Person (A) has control over his own life until that control infringes upon Person (B)’s ability to control Person (B)’s own life.
Below statements are courtesy of Wikipedia:
“…The Libertarian Party is a United States political party founded on December 11, 1971.[1] In the 30 states where voters can register by party there are over 225,000 voters registered with the Libertarian Party, making it the third largest of America’s parties.[2] Hundreds of Libertarian candidates have been elected or appointed to public office, and thousands have run for office under the Libertarian banner.[3]
The political platform of the Libertarian Party reflects that group’s particular brand of libertarianism, favoring minimally regulated, laissez-faire markets, strong civil liberties, minimally regulated migration across borders, and non-interventionism in foreign policy that respects freedom of trade and travel to all foreign countries…”[4]

Although we are in the business of identifying and locating high qualitytalent for employers across the nation, we understand the reality of near or distant future retirement for many of the people we have placed in viable job positions over the years. For this reason we are drawing our valued readers’ attention to the latest news in Social Security. Given the recession and stats on unemployment, it will come as no surprise to many of you that there will be no increase in Social Security benefits for the year 2011. They claim it is based on the fact that inflation is too low. Doesn’t it make more sense that regardless of inflation, we are in the midst of just barely treading water as a nation because of the recession? We are sorry to report this news for the numerous retirees and disabled Americans across this country.
When you consider that so many of the elderly are barely able to afford their medication on the fixed income they currently have and to think it has been this way for them for years, it seems there is little relief for their wallets and feeling secure through their twilight years. Just as all of us know someone who knows someone who is unemployed, facing foreclosure or bankruptcy now we can all say the same is true of the 58 million Americans who are affected by this Social Security ruling. This is the second consecutive year that seniors and others won’t see an increase in Social Security benefits.
How will this effect the elections? It can’t help the Democrats and President Obama when it comes to the senior and disabled vote. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi mentioned that only after the elections will the House and Senate vote on a bill that would pay all Social Security payees $250.00. The bill is likely to be rejected by the majority of Republicans and several Democrats if and when it reaches the Senate floor. This is the same proposed bill which was rejected last year around this time. It may not matter to many senior and disabled voters WHO is opposing the bill as much as it will be yet another poor reflection on President Obama and his administration whether justified or not. Some argue that it is President Obama’s duty to successfully woo, court and convince Republicans and opposing Democrats to sign such a bill. Gas prices have certainly climbed in the last few weeks along with a host of other retail items and this seems to have little bearing on overall inflation when it is measured against the housing market and other industry statistics.
PLAN YOUR SCHEDULE NOW SO YOU DON’T FORGET TO VOTE NOVEMBER 2ND, 2010 NO MATTER YOUR PARTY AFFILIATION OR LACK THEREOF WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO EXERCISE YOUR VOICE THROUGH VOTING SO WE DON’T LOSE THIS PRECIOUS AND DELICATE RIGHT. WE STRIVE TO SUPPORT OUR CURRENT AND FUTURE LEADERS.

Our first political party blog was on the Tea Party then we addressed the Republicans and the difference between Independents and the Independence Party. Best Services presents this information in a non-partisan manner while we seek viable solutions to the economic & unemployment crisis. We do however encourage everyone to register to vote even if you do not believe your vote is getting you what you want.
Keep in mind voting is not always about getting WHAT YOU WANT. Voting tends to encompass a much stronger voice in that the act itself allows us to keep the rights we currently have. These are rights so many of us take for granted. Your vote does more for this country than you may ever realize. Remember it is not just about the very issue or individual you are voting on. Look beyond yourself & at the bigger picture. Please register to vote & then exercise your right to vote. Many Americans died for us to have this luxury.
“Democratic Party, USA The oldest democratic political party in the world. Known in the 1790s as the Democratic-Republican Party, Democrats split in 1860 over the questions of slavery and the US Civil War. It reunited after the Civil War, gaining support from the ever-expanding west and from the immigrant working classes of the industrialized north-east, while retaining the loyalty of the deep south. In the early twentieth century the party adopted many of the policies of the Progressive movement and its candidate for President, Woodrow Wilson, was elected in 1912. Although in eclipse during the 1920s, it re-emerged in the years of the Great Depression, with policies to end unemploymentand stimulate industry. It captured both Congress and the Presidency, with Franklin D. Roosevelt the only President to have been elected four times. Since then the Democratic Party has tended to dominate the House of Representatives and has generally held the Senate as well, supporting civil rights, social welfare, and Third World aid.

“The Democratic Party is one of two major contemporary political parties in the United States, along with the Republican Party. The party’s modern liberal platform is largely considered center-left in the U.S. political spectrum.[5][6][7] It is one of the world’s oldest political parties and boasts the lengthiest record of continuous operation in the United States. The party contains the most registered voters of any political organization in the world as of 2004, with 72 million voters.[8][9] Polls taken over the last decade indicate that roughly 35% of American voters self identify as Democrats.[10]
…Historically, the party has favored farmers, laborers, labor unions, and religious and ethnic minorities; it has opposed unregulated business and finance, and favored progressive income taxes. In foreign policy, internationalism (including interventionism) was a dominant theme from 1913 to the mid-1960s. In the 1930s, the party began advocating welfare spending programs targeted at the poor…” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democratic_Party_(United_States)

In the event you haven’t heard or seen by now, NBC has aired a show named OUTSOURCED. It is based on a film by John Jeffcoat. It aired on Thursday, September 23, 2010. This is a sitcom which depicts an American male being assigned to manage a call center in Mumbai, India (formerly Bombay) where the order processing department has been relocated or rather outsourced. Initially we heard a great deal of ranting & raving from the American population about this show. Comments ranged from the show’s insensitivity to poor timing to television executives being out of touch or not seeming to care. Several weeks later we began hearing from members of the Indian culture as they compared the show to the sitcoms here in America that “use to” depict minority Americans in a negative or condescending light.
We were fairly amazed at the timing of the show and were unable to determine if it was meant to lift the spirits of Americans and Indians through irony and sarcasm. Nevertheless there are petitions on FACEBOOK protesting and boycotting the show and all of NBC. Some loyal viewers of NBC are refusing to stop on that channel ever again even if it means giving up sports and some of their favorite shows and movies. There are a few former variations on this show. “Going for An English”; “Mumbai Calling” and “Goodness Gracious Me”. They are all foreign based. While “experts” are presenting the question whether or not people SHOULD be outraged about this or whether or not the show can be described as offensive to Americans and-or the Indian culture, real people with and without jobs all over the world have voiced their opinions loud and clear. Some say its a travesty because people have actually received jobs (acting) by making fun of people without jobs during a time when this country and even other countries could conceivably drown in this recession. By drowning, they mean rioting in the streets for a loaf of bread kind of drowning. One gentleman said that until the executives at NBC have been out of work, depleted all their savings and investments and lost everything they own, they can’t begin to identify with the average American. In addition, they said even if NBC could identify or are identifying with the American citizen, they still find the jobless hysterical because people who have money find people without money laughable, entertaining, and think of them as existing for their entertainment.
We have searched high and low for responses to comments like these from NBC and we were unable to locate any. It is not to suggest they don’t exist, but perhaps they were not listed in a more prominent position in the search engines or on the Internet websites. Is there money to be made from the static and comments SURROUNDING a show versus the show itself? It would be no different than what reality television stars do or celebrealities like Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian. Their names alone generate an income. They don’t have to worry about whether or not their shows are a hit. They just need to be certain people continue talking about them and people want them to make appearances with them, their products or services. In a world where you can brand just about anything, could that be NBC’s hidden strategy? Release a show about Americans losing jobs in the middle of a recession, make it a comedy and watch it explode in popularity before it even airs…?
Is the signing of the NAFTA agreement the cause of our “Outsourced” reality here in America? (North American Free Trade Agreement – January 1, 1994 during the Clinton Administration).

IS IT A RECESSION OR A TRANSITION?
every single country on this planet which is NOT an INDUSTRIAL COUNTRY is a poor country. Most people would agree with this statement. We were once an inudstrial country but now we are in a transition. Most would agree with this statement as well. This is what they mean when they say we are not in a recession or a depression. What we are experiencing is the transition period itself of the shift from industrial to non-industrial and there is a great deal of fall-out from such activity. We have outsourced countless jobs away from the USA for good. Our technology has increased thereby moving industrialism to the side according to the speaker. It’s suggested that our repair of the ccountry must come from a structural standpoint. In other words we must address the very structure of our country and economy and re-establish it before we can even think about reaching any level of success in generating jobs. This is not a Democrat or a Republican issue. It supersedes every political party and style of offense and defense whether that be liberal or conservative.
GOP TAKES THE HOUSE – OTHER RESULTS IN THE STATES
GOP TAKES THE HOUSE – OTHER RESULTS IN THE STATES The GOP takes the majority in the House of Representatives. It appears the Senate majority may remain with the Democrats, but it is too early to finalize this. This has been the change the GOP has been talking about and hoping for early on in President Obama’s term. We hope everyone is able to work together and recognize and acknowledge the seriousness of our country’s dilema. We can’t afford to squander any time as people continue to lose their jobs, lose unemployment compensation, lose their homes and nearly everything that makes Americans feel safe and warm. This country must stop with blaming one leader over another or one party over another and simply pull together and get the job done VOTE
