Oh yeah. Everything is coming up roses. Oboma saved us all.

My unscientific business survey? Activity is up, but not brisk. Everyone’s still on the sidelines with regard to hiring.

All is wonderful. Hell, we had only 6,000 apply at a job fair for 200 minimum wage jobs here in Albuquerque last week so things are looking good. Keep up the good work economy.

I'd like to know how many government employees have been hired since Oboma was given affirmative action, and how much printed Monopoly money has been used to pay for them.

My guess is the entire house of cards is ...fake. It shouldn't be long before the veil is lifted, and everything is reveled. What we're going to see will be really, really, ugly!

Benefit applications are down, and that’s good news!
BUT labor participation rates have fallen steadily since BHO took office, or about 3.3% since February of 2009. This means about 6 million less people have jobs today than at any point during Bush’s eight years.

For the record, labor participation rates dropped by 1.6% during Bush’s two terms. They’ve just dropped four times as quickly in BHO’s first term.

(rerun the graph from 2000 to see Bush’s two terms)
