Oh, yeah, how wonderful that the Dow is up to January levels! Of course, if you adjust it for the inflation we've had just in the last four months, it's still down, but hey--it looks like it's up! W00t!

The media = the orchestra playing while the Great Titanic is sinking. I don't know what they're thinking (or not!). Pretending something is so doesn't make it so. They have obviously not taken the economic "downturn" to its logical conclusion: who do they think pays their salaries? Who's gonna watch their flippin' bile when the economy gets really bad? Are the people without jobs going to keep their cable teevee and give up food and shelter?

Idiots.

In the mix of these figures... to reduce the amount of job losses, Government added 77,000 new jobs, which don't produce and are a liability on the Taxpayer for 50-60 years if those government new hires stay in their jobs and retire.

Does anyone do a breakdown of all business sector job gains/loses each month so we don't have to go by this Media & Government Propaganda crap?

so technically, in the private sector... there's a loss of 97,000 JOBS!
