Great news but the Dems need to do more to highlight these facts. I’ve no doubt the recent focus by the Pubs on foreign policy is primarily to distract the public from this good news and gay marriage and the ACA surviving right wing attacks and the opening of embassies with Cuba. Next, the Pubs will complain about our policy of not colonizing the moon! Anything to distract from the President’s real accomplishments.
“while the unemployment rate rose to 5.3 percent”
Might want to correct “rose” to “dropped” to match the headline and the BLS report.
Not great news but good. Some wage growth would have been nice. Overall though pretty much the steady-as-it-goes we’ve been seeing.
Yet more gloomy news for the Republican party. Rush’s task for the day is to spin this so that the credit goes to the Republicans. I’m guessing something along the lines of “Now that the senate has a Republican majority…” blah, blah, blah, blah, or something equally idiotic.
