In the real world, we used that figure as a guidepost. You might use it as a guidepost, but it isn't a very good one. Also if it served your partisan advantage I don't doubt that you would abandon it in a hurry. You just don't get it, do you? A weak job recovery doesn't benefit anyone. I am first about survival and second or third about partisanship. If Bush were doing a good job, I would commend him, not trash him like the GOP trashed Clinton in the '90s even as he was doing a good job. If a Democratic president becomes president just as a low birth rate cohort enters working years, I'm sure the Dems would all the sudden take note that 150K, isn't a very good guidepost. Or if a Republican president is in officer an creates more than that many jobs, but you have a lot of new people entering the workforce, neither you, nor most other partisan Dems are going to give the Republican a break because "well he's beating the guideline". Yes, I understand that this is how your cohort thinks and its why things have gotten so bad in this country. Its all about me, me, me......and how can we undercut the opposition. Report TOU Violation
