Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.

An anticipated gradual gain in US employment has turned into a surprising deterioration, and that has economists worried about the increasing threat to the economic recovery.

And it won’t get any better until we make more of what we import. For the past dozen years, we have exported our manufacturing seed corn needed for growth. The Gore-Gingrich 3rd wave information economy engine that goosed up the financial community has stalled.
We need a “Miss Me Yet” billboard with Jimmy Carter’s smiling face on it.....lolololol
Hi, Laz!
We were unexpecting you.
“but just imagine how bad it wuld have been if they did nothing!

Since the outcome of what would have happened is always unknowable, it is always correct for someone to say that it might have been even worse if a certain action had not been taken. However, this also means that it is equally correct to reply that it might have been better if that action had not been taken.
How much of this is fraud? I’ve heard all you do these days to collect is sign onto the web, file your claim and money appears in your checking account. Two years of free money without having to even go look for a job. All government programs are rife with fraud; SSI, food stamps, welfare, etc.
Yes, but were you surprised?
As best I can tell, you are behind the times. The author did not use the word unexpected. He was surprised.
From now on those of us at the leading edge indicate our surprise rather than the passe unexpected condition.
I thought wrongly and incorrectly were the new msm buzzwords?

The Keynesian Democrats even messed that up, government stimulus “might work” in a depression, not a recession;

In normal recessions — the argument goes — an increase in discretionary government spending is unnecessary and even counterproductive. But in the event that a recession becomes a depression, a Keynesian stimulus package might work.

If they claim to be a Harvard educated Economist I shall do something truly evil to them. I don't know what, but I'll think of something.

It occurs to me that we just might make a pretty good team you and I.
Like that thread from last week said, “In 1930 they didn’t know they were in a great depression”.
Gee, they expected the train wreck to be averted by tearing out the tracks...
