“Running out of people to layoff”

Bingo.

1% of a declining number, month after month, becomes a smaller number naturally by the rules of math.

1,000,000 -1% 10,000
990,000 -1% 9,900
980,100 -1% 9,801
970,299
etc

Excellent analysis, this the same headline the last 6 months and its "New Math" pumped out by Obama syccophants in the MSM. Project some fantasy number and then when it;s lower claim something good. With the impending SM crash that coming probably dropping to 5k, what will Axelrod and Gibbs spin? 2010 elections are going to be a bloodbath for the Democrats as America hopefully swings back to electing grownups and not Willie Wonkas.
