The repository of one hard-boiled egg from the south suburbs of Milwaukee, Wisconsin (and the occassional guest-blogger). The ramblings within may or may not offend, shock and awe you, but they are what I (or my guest-bloggers) think.Wed, 21 Jul 2010 01:50:52 +0000

I’m not sure who’s spinning the recent drop in the unemployment rate as positive news. To my knowledge, no one is spinnig this data. The data is clear. People haved stopped looking for work by the thousands, which has lower the unemployment rate.
“Hopefully Wisconsin can survive the local version of the POR (Pelosi-Obama-Reid) Economy – the DDS (Doyle-Decker-Sheridan) economy until that troika runs the state. I don’t think the state can survive another full year of this.”
You’re grossly overstating the impact of the “POR and DDS”. The private sector is not hiring people because they don’t have any customers. It’s that simple. Unless you’re willing to let Uncle Sam drop money from helicopters, the situation is not going to be much better in a year.
