One cannot begin to talk about a US "economic recovery" with a straight face, looking at numbers like this.

The US Labor Department said on Thursday that applications for weekly benefits rose by 6,000 to a seasonally-adjusted 386,000, AFP reported.

Nearly six million Americans are currently receiving jobless benefits. But the actual figure would have been much higher if state authorities had not stopped extending benefit programs.

At the same time, job creation has slowed down, with employers having added an average of only 96,000 positions over the past three months, the fewest in a year.

Realist - Everybody in America is soft, and hates conflict. The cure for this, both in politics and social life, is the same -- hardihood. Give them raw truth.
