Funny how the whole country has been losing jobs, salary and wealth since Obama took office…

“Funny” if your a brain-dead idiot, that is…

Funny how the country was losing 800,000 jobs a month under Bush and now the country is adding jobs every month. More of your typical fact challenged BS lies. Standard for you.

Well, I can’t speak for you, Tango, but $72,000 a year is higher than $64,000.

I, too, got a nice little raise, and I’m doing just fine.

Maybe you should try working, T?

The First-Quarter GDP was revised from about 1% growth, to negative growth…

That’s a lot of grass mowing!

Discuss that with South Carolina’s first million dollar state employee, these numbers are not part of an athletic compensation package, it’s what the state is paying the top two taxpayer funded wage earners in the state:

STEPHEN SPURRIER
UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA
ATHLETICS COACH
$ 1,050,000.00
$ 0.00
$ 1,050,000.00

D. TANNER
UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA
ATHLETICS DIRECTOR
$ 525,000.00
$ 0.00
$ 525,000.00

http://transparency.sc.gov/BCB/transparency/BCB-state-salary-query.phtm

As a comparison:
WILLIAM SWINNEY CLEMSON UNIVERSITY ATHLETICS COACH $ 252,350.00 $ 0.00 $ 252,350.00

I can’t believe Dabo gets paid that much…he’s worth about half of that.

To be honest, it’s a shame that any “coach” gets paid a taxpayer funded salary. That’s what athletic departments are for. Then throw in the fact that these coaches tend to push nepotism to it’s limit, Steve Spurrier, Jr. makes $350,000 and Scott Spurrier makes $60,000 as an “Athletic Administrator”. I doubt ol’ Scooter is much more than an overpaid file clerk for Tanner or his old man.

Good job that Haley is doing enforcing SC’s new illegal alien law. We have more illegals working in SC than last year! And Kudos to the SC Dept of Labor for NOT enforcing our new law.

For once it’s time to be fair. The SC economy hit bottom in 2009 with 1.89 million people working, and is up to 2.05 million working .So there is a net gain of jobs in SC. Now if Haley had anything to do with that – that’s another story. Participation may be down for a variety of factors including single-earning families making more, etc – but it is true more people are working in SC than before. That said, I still support that idea that the number be reduced by one in November, a Mrs. Nikki Haley needs to be on the unemployment line.
