Newsflash: I am not an economist, but this a'int good

But how do you get away with lipsticking this pig

Here's the thing, when I first brought this to the attention of those on this board, that was , say, shortly after the 2007 crash, maybe in 2008.

So, another newsflash, it's 2011. And according to this, after allllllllllllll we have been through, in this Great Recession Non Depression, we continue to shed hundreds of thousands of jobs prompting Americans to seek unemployment.

And then, the guy in this article speaks of this in a positive light??

That's about as pathetic as speaking of 100 billion being cut of 1 trillion in spending as good. Really not that good. And Republicans are failing miserably in this near negligible cut.

So, is that like getting attacked by a pack of wild dogs, and feeling hopeful about your success to kill a mosquito on your cheek?

How is this figure anything but an incredibly ominous statistic?
