How many times do these “experts” need to be surprised before they’re not experts any more?

And what's going to happen now that the stimulus is wearing off and States are laying off workers?
Are Dems giving the private sector incentive to absorb these workers?
Nope. Expect jobless claims to increase.

"The move was completely opposite of expectations," said Jeffrey Rosen, an economist with Briefing.com. On a first glance I thought it said, "Rosen, an economist with BARFING.com"...

“unexpected” my arse. How the hell can jobs be restored when just about everything you buy is not made in the USA. Green jobs, stimulus and tax cuts are illusions. We have to make more of what we import to restore jobs and retain dollars. The jobs economy is a bipartisan failure in Washington. No wonder the country is rebelling against the do-nothing PAC financed leaders.

Obama didn’t get enough Wagu beef last night?! /s
I think Michelle MyBelle had better get a leash on Obama’s eating habits before she lectures the rest of us. She could also work on that smoking habit. LEAVE US ALONE!

Honestly...what F’n planet do these horses patooties live on? Unexpected my #SS!! Any objective thinker, knowing elementary economics, and with two functioning neuronal synapses, should be able to do this equation.
Definite proof that an Ivy League “Education”, as with most other things liberal, is anything but.

Won’t get any better anytime soon. The market is about to be flooded with undergrads and high school students looking for summer work and graduates looking for full time work.
Will the graduates count as unemployed since they haven’t been working?

So we've got new claims to under 500K? This is good news how? There is so far to go before we are even near healthy territory:

I wonder, regarding that chart, what happened after December. There was a good trend up to that point.
