They make it seem like there is no recovery underway and things have never been so bad. As a matter of fact we are at 5.6% unemployment and except for those bubble years we have never had it so good I think the real problem is that people are looking for clarity and nobody is really providing it. What you say above is true..... except..... Long-Term Joblessness at 20-Year High WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The average spell of joblessness was more than five months in February, the highest in two decades, raising the prospect it may be a factor in driving workers from the U.S. labor force. biz.yahoo.com The bottom line is that with a 7-8% GDP people want to see it affecting their lives. And as an investor I want to see it translate into the kind of economy we had in the 90s, where semiconductor companies were selling all they can build at high prices. Intel's call did not sound like much of a recovery to me. At this point I think chances are good we fall back into recession in a few mos.

JFD, re: The lack of job creation is not blamed on the media but there hyperbole in that regard is. Well as long as it isn't having a material effect on the job market. "Hyperbole" is what the media does; it's the product they sell. Regardless of D/R administration. re: "I guess you feel that The "Nattering Nabobs of Negativism" have HR not filling needed positions made some point" but I don't read the op ed pages and therefore am not hip enough to understand what point you are making with that sound bite. Hip? Just old. That's what Spiro Agnew used to call the "liberal press". And Spiro was anything but hip. re: Obviously you are a Dem. and like big government and big taxes- You read a lot into my brief post. I voted for Bush last time around, I'm voting for "anybody but" this time. His deficits will cripple our economy for at least a generation. His nation-building in the ME is irresponsible, his trashing of the institutions that all former Presidents have supported, and have lead to a more rational world is criminal. He's the worst President of my lifetime (and the most "liberal, if you look at actions and not rhetoric). Sorry for the off topic post. John
