It is, in fact, historically bad. 80k jobs a month is nothing to be proud of. If we had 4% unemployment it would be nothing to be proud of. There are literally tens of millions of people underemployed, whose lives are being decimated because American leadership has failed. I’m glad to hear it is good for you, but open your eyes. If you need help, just look at today’s Washington Post about lab PHDs.

Will Repubo ideas help. No. They have no ideas. The Republican platform is stuck in 1982… 30 years ago. They are fighting the last generation’s fight. Nonetheless, to suggest 80k jobs is acceptable (or that the economy is functional) is to put politics above prudence.

Jobs now. The rule of law now.

That’s one of the hard parts about convincing Americans we are in a depression. Many in the political debate have an interest in making the economy sound awful. Those that want the government to take action have to get us all in panic mode. Those who want to defeat Obama have to do the same thing.
