Ask the White House. We were promised a jobless rate below 8% a while back and it’s still over 9%. Where’s the fucking jobs?

This recession is even worse than most economists thought. Nobody in either party would be able to create lots of jobs now, unless we went on a New Deal type spending spree, and there’s no stomach for that in either party.

We may have to face the fact that this shitty economy is the new normal, and we may be stuck with it for quite a while regardless of which party’s in power. So many global forces involved, we can’t just shape economic reality any more.
