According to the U.S. Department of Labor, initial filings for government unemployment benefits dropped by 20,000 during October. The decline in unemployment was described as “the last gasp of failed Republican economic policy” by incoming Senate Majority Leader, Harry Reid (D-Nev.). “We’re going to get this turned around now that we’re in charge,” Reid said. “It is unconscionable that Bush’s tax-cutting policies have driven so many into the employed labor force.

In related news, Rep. Charles Rangel (D-N.Y.) called for the reinstatement of a military draft. “As Senator Kerry pointed out, the way it is now, military recruiters prey upon the uneducated lower classes,” Rangel said. “A draft that randomly inducts men and women from all sectors of society will raise the quality of our military personnel.”
