Title: Has the US economy finally turned the page?
Post by: jimmy olsen on March 12, 2012, 06:57:59 PM
200k + jobs for the third straight month. 227k this February and January and December were revised upwards to 223k and 284k respectively.

Let's wait and see if that can be sustained in the next few months, and built upon.  With the unemployment as high as it is, 200s may look impressive, but they won't get the job done.

We need it in the 500k range per month.

I don't like either.  They're really whiny.  Joe Walsh's ironic "Life's Been Good" is a nice counterpoint.  Pussy rock stars are intolerable.
