Subject:   More bad economic news
Date:   2/17/2011 5:08:50 PM

Unemployment has officially crept up over 10% (something Gallup has been saying for two months) with underemployment rising from 17% to 19%.  On the inflation front there is also bad news as more and more evidence seems to point to creeping inflation.  Whatever they are trying in Washington is not working which is in and of itself the problem.  Job creation, other than new federal jobs (of which 200,000 have been added since Obama took office) does not occur in D.C.  It occurs when businesses come to believe their long term prospects outweigh the potential risk of hiring new employees.  Given that the Obama budget makes clear his intention to raise taxes on the investment class, his lack of seriousness about reducing the federal budget and that apparent willingness of Dems in the Senate to go along with him I would say optimism is waning.

FDR did the very same thing in the 1930's and those that are ignorant of history like Democrats are doomed to repeat it.  Let's hope the GOP in the House can combine forces with what is left of fiscally conservative Democrats in the Senate (or even Dems that are in desperate shape for 2012) and force a budget with real reductions in spending as a first step.
