The May jobs report came out today, and the news was good.
The economy has recouped all the Great Recession losses, and it's the fourth month in a row that 200,000+ jobs were added. But we cats were struck by one other fact a few paragraphs down:
"The year isn't quite half over, but 2014 is currently on track to be the best year for US job creation since 1999."
Hmmmm. From 1999 to 2008 — when the economy cratered — who was in the White House for most of those years?
Gosh! Could it possibly be that all the Cheney-Bush trickle-down-economics crapola just doesn't freaking work? Our phones are open! In the meantime, we cats PURR.
