“Technical” issues — like trying to make it look like Obama’s economy is improving?

Holy crap! 391,000 is a total flipping disaster! These aren’t numbers, they are people and families...

Just rememebr, it took seven weeks for the President to roll out his “big plan”—raise taxes!-—and in those seven weeks, about 3 million people signed up for unemployment for the first time.

649 people per state, if there are 57 states.

It’s an economic miracle!

Was recently forced to resign from my job, and yes, my family will suffer, but we will persevere.
