Wow, I’m stunned.

With this pro-business, pro-growth, inflation-fighting regime, this is quite the shock.

Let me be the first to say we are seeing the end of Keynesianism as a serious economic policy for recessions and stagflation. Obama and crew continue to make the same mistakes FDR did policywise (which Hoover also initiated).

If anyone has not read The Forgotten Man by Amity Shlaes do so now if you want to truly understand why we are not coming out of this slump yet.

The dollar is now trading below 80 yen. And for all of you gold and silver bugs, you should look out too.

No wonder the Osama story had to happen then.

I am probably an anti-American for not putting all my faith and trust in the federal government, which obviously deserves to never be questioned about anything.

Yes, I must Hate America First for not trusting the government.

This number should eventually come down — there are only so many private-sector jobs left to cut.

The only ones who seem to understand economics properly are the Austrian economists.

Keynesians are only interested in telling politicians what they want to hear to get cushy government jobs.

Our whole recovery must be falling apart. /sarc

I am sure those gas prices are no help.

We can’t afford Obama for much longer.

The Kenyan King is releasing rosy estimates to get good press. His Highness’s recorders then ignore the real numbers.

No silly, socialism will work when the right people are in charge and when they are not hindered by those awful conservatives who want us to drag our workers, our women and our frail children back to the dark ages.
