Everyday you can hear it. The conservative mating call. "Jobs! Jobs ae coming back! Consumers, spending like crazy! The economy is fine!" You can hear this everyday from the likes of Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity. Atrios points out this article about consumer sentiment. And I echo Atrios' question. Does anyone work for a company who is doing any significant hiring?
I guess when the goverment releases weaker-than-expected job numbers for February, then revises that to a lower number, average people might take a step back and ponder this. Do the conservative's know what they're talking about? First of all, most of these conservative pundits are well off anyway. They wouldn't know what it's like to live in modern times.
As I said here, the off-shoring of jobs is not a good thing. The Bush Administration might want to think about how the public might react to these issues.
