Job report coming out soon will tell the story. Huge portion of the job increases lately were census workers and subtract them the last quarter gain was small.

This is the catch 22. You can continue to try and prop up state and local governments that have stretched themselves out rather than cut. Or redirect federal & state spending toward working folks from the private sector that have been hammered and suspend non critical federal and state programs. Then you have have targeted tax increases and reductions aimed at economic targets and job growth. Which is what this last trillion stimulus was NOT.

It is going to happen sooner or later anyway but later I think. What makes me wonder though is the blue dog D's, they appear to be saying enough is enough to BOTH sides. We can only hope that the moderates of both parties can come together and force the issue both ways. Give the blue dog D's credit they hit first but they have to get through the next election cycle and that looks tough.
