I am reacting to the general tendency to confuse the undoubted political impact of unemployment numbers with their relevance to economic recovery.

I quite agree with you that we got to start making stuff but that is unlikely to happen in an economy with rising taxes, rising energy costs, rising inflation, shrinking demand, rising regulation and a well grounded fear that America has abandoned the rule of law and the free-market model for a socialist/cronyism model represented by Goldman Sachs and General Electric.

Your average liberal thinks that Goldman is “republican” because it has big money and only republicans are greedy and bad. If you look at who works there, they all voted Obama.

the rule of law and the free-market model for a socialist/cronyism model represented by Goldman Sachs and General Electric

And it is happening right before our eyes. Our children will ask how we could let it happen....
