>> New jobless claims jump unexpectedly to 667,000

How can this happen? Obama was going to solve our nation's problems. He got his $800 Billion to put people to work. WTF is the holdup?

The 667,000 new claims are the most since October 1982, though the labor force has grown by about half since then.

So, as bad as it is, it is still only 2/3 as bad as it was then.
