I saw this coming yesterday when the media types kept saying 225,000 is expected.
I yelled back at the TV, "what the hell is wrong with 50,000!
I am glad I am not in the market. This is still a recovery and a broad based one.
The RATS have successfully talked it down and the polling is becoming worrisome to business who know and fear the economy hinges on Bush and continued tax cuts with cost control for the next four years.
Democrats are licking their fiscal chops to roll back the cuts and the polls suck.
The worry translates as slow hiring and a wait and see attitude. This will muck along until November IMO.
