Jobs report showed some growth

It's not the 250,000 new jobs that many were predicting but instead it pretty much fell in line with the consensus 215,000, or about 65,000 more than the average number of new entrants into the market each month. That's not exactly great, but it could have been worse. The GOP and some on Wall Street keep trying to tell Americans that the economy couldn't be any better, that everything is fine but maybe they ought to look at the Clinton years if they want to see serious growth numbers in jobs. These numbers are a drop in the bucket compared to what Bill churned out.

Despite all if the corporate welfare or perhaps because of it and because of the GOP tax policies, all we are seeing is more growth at the very top of the pile with the middle class and below simply getting piled on. No wonder the screaming so loudly as they tell us how great the economy is going because if they didn't say it that way nobody would know that there's growth. The middle class is funding this war of choice, funding the tax cuts for the Cheney's of America, high oil prices and more corporate welfare. Gosh, tell us again why we should be thrilled with the new economic figures?
