The Patient is Recovering


The Bureau of Labor Statistics' latest report shows gains in job creation, some 162,000 jobs in March alone. But notice the trend in the chart, above. The red bars show the situation under Dumbya, and the blue bars show the situation under Obama. No matter how Rethug politicians try to spin it, a recovery is underway, and job growth, while still lagging, is showing signs of continued improvement. As Nobel Prize winner Paul Krugman is saying, the patient is in stable condition. We can't sue Dumbya for malpractice, but we can stop Rethug "doctors" from operating on us again by turning out at the polls.
