re: #201 Targetpractice, Worst of Both Worlds

There will be some excuse concocted to explain the suddenly jump in unemployment that will result as a consequence of the moratorium. Combined with the end of the temporary Census jobs, it should get us back into double-digit unemployment by November, if not earlier. The GOP no doubt is salivating at the potential this has to turn the route they’re currently looking at into a massacre at the pols.

I doubt that whatever unemployment is attributable to those 25 rigs can be separated from the regional unemployment spike caused by the spill.
