Letters We Wish We'd Written Dept.


From today's once great Washington Post Bezos Bugle:
I read with great interest E.J. Dionne Jr.’s Oct. 6 op-ed column, “Why Democrats aren’t getting credit for the economy.” In it, Dionne stated that several key factors make the president appear largely responsible for a long, steady economic recovery. To better understand the situation I searched The Post for more information. The Oct. 6 paper held no such information. Nor did Oct. 7’s. Finally, there it was in the Oct. 8 edition. Was it on Page One alongside an article on the Nationals game? Alas, not. It was on Page A16, in the bottom right corner, next to an erectile dysfunction ad. The article, perhaps the smallest and most well-hidden in that day’s edition, reported that job openings in the United States were at their highest number in 13 years. Now we know why Democrats are not getting credit.
