You've obviously never worked or shopped in an inner city grocery store and I bet you wouldn't drive within 20 miles of this new store.
I believe every neighborhood deserves access to healthier foods, but I stand by my statement 100%. Just because you provide the access to the better, healthier food isn't going to change peoples eating habits, especially if they have to pay more for it. If you like deep fried or spicy food, you're not going to spend $4.50 per pound for a salad bar meal. Since there are more meth heads and crack heads than ever before I should have included car jacking in the parking lot, take your car and groceries at the same time. The store really has no responsibility to police it's own parking lot just like they are not liable for your car getting hit by a shopping cart.
"We can't just drill our way to lower gas prices when we consume 20% of the world's oil," President Obama says during his weekly address. Obama took the opportunity to advocate for his "all of the above" strategy, that relies less on foreign fossil fuels, and more on: "solar, wind, natural gas, biofuels, and more." [View news story]
I plan on being 100% in equities the day after Obama is voted out of office. The market will have it's best day since the Chicago mafia took over the White house.

The latest Rasmussen polls show Obama losing to both Romney and Santorum. His negative polling will only go up from here as the price of gas rises. He is failing the American public on every level with his socialist ideology.

Yes, he was right "energy prices will necessarily skyrocket". He predicted it and he made it happen.

President Romney is going to use an "all of the above" approach to energy too. Drilling on federal land and in the ocean will be at the top of the list. Obama has outsmarted himself and will be seen as the second coming of Jimmy Carter.
A sobering spin on the
jobs report
is to gauge how far the economy still has to go. Using the Labor Department's numbers, after the recession wiped out 8.8M jobs in about two years, the economy has only generated back about 3.45M in the following two. At a pace of 227K per month, it will still take a couple more years to get back to pre-financial crisis employment levels. [View news story]

The other issue with these stores is that they will charge 30% more for an item to cover security, knowing the shopper is paying with free government money. Once you are out the door they are not responsible for what happens.

The government has to be bankrolling this, no sensible grocer would build a store in this type of neighborhood of Detroit. No prejudice here but I know the grocery business, with extra security guards and shrinkage (theft) and the fact that people will be scared to shop there (even in the daytime), it is a money loser from the start. That is why there are no grocers in the inner city except mom and pop and those are few and far between. Anywhere there is money for a crackhead to steal they will be there and you won't be safe. I don't care how much government money you throw at an inner city grocer, people will not shop there unless an armed guard escorts them to their cars and beyond.

I'm surprised they announced it before the markets closed, kind of like an Obama Friday night document dump. Fewer people watch the weekend news and it kind of slips by unreported.
Feb. Nonfarm Payrolls:+227K vs. consensus of +215K, +284K (revised from 243K) in Jan. Unemployment 8.3% vs 8.3% expected. Average workweek unchanged at 34.5 hours, inline. Average hourly earnings +0.1%. [View news story]
President Romney won't let the BLS play games with the unemployment numbers. You will find out the real unemployment number the week after Romney's team takes over.

All the Obama cheerleaders on this site do the same. Everyone knows 8.3% not reflective of the true unemployment rate, but as bad as the Obama presidency has been for our economy they'll take anything not negative as a great step forward.
Market preview: Stocks look set to open modestly higher (S&P futures +0.2%) after U.S. payrolls increased more than expected, and relief that Greece secured enough debt-swap commitments to restructure its debt. The news was tempered by the U.S. trade deficit, which widened to its highest level in more than three years. Treasury prices tumble; the dollar rises sharply. Later: wholesale trade.

The market opens with a thud.....more like a dead cat bounce. The trade imbalance increases and that is a good sign?
More on the Nonfarm Payroll report: The labor force participation rate rose to 63.9% (63.7% previous). The employment/population ratio rose to 58.6% (58.5%). Big gains in professional and business services (82K) and temporary help (45K). Construction and government employment were flat. December employment revised higher to 223K (203K). [View news story]
Terry if you don't calm down you're going to soil yourself.
Professional and business services added 82,000 jobs in February. Just over half of the increase occurred in temporary help services (+45,000). This is the highest rate of temp jobs in 3 years. Everyone knows if you torture a set of numbers long enough they will tell you anything. Trade deficit through the roof, energy prices skyrocket, U-6 almost 15%.
