So what happened to the non-seasonally adjusted (NSA) job count in December at similar points late in the course of prior cycles? Well, in December 1999 about 140,000 jobs were added and in December 2007 there was a NSA gain of 212,000. This time we got the magnificent sum of 11,000, and by the way, last year was only 6,000.
The real news flash in the December “jobs†report, therefore, is that even by the lights of the BLS’ rickety, archaic and virtually worthless establishment survey, the domestic economy is dead in the water. We are not on the verge of “escape velocity,†as our foolish monetary politburo keeps insisting; the US economy is actually knocking on the door of recession.

We are in a DEPRESSION and have been since Obama took office, but nobody is brave enough to say so.
