Not before a predictable snide comment and an attempt to factor Bush into the discussion.

But, yours was the closest to a comment on the OP, so congratulations.

In addition to reporting sluggish hiring for March, the government revised down its estimate of job gains in February and January by a combined 69,000.

The economy has disproportionately added lower-paying jobs in the retail and restaurant sectors since the economic recovery began in mid-2009. Adding jobs in the lowest-paid industries can suppress average hourly wages, even when employers are rewarding cashiers, waiters and sales clerks with pay bumps.

"Employers aren't laying people off," noted Patrick O'Keefe, director of economic research at the accounting and consulting firm CohnReznick. "What they've decided to do is slow down the pace at which they're hiring until they have more confidence."

If everything is so grand, what is it that employers have no confidence in?

This isn't the first thread you've started trying to blame the consequences of 30 plus years of right wing trickle down economic policies on the left. The last one was just a few weeks ago. Give it a rest dude. Nobody here is buying that crap.

Poor Whell, praying for America's economy to fail. On Good Friday, at that.
What is wrong with you, man?
