We've been hearing from the president and legislative democrats for several months now that, yes, this is a 'jobless recovery'. Yes, jobs aren't picking up fast enough but at least it's a recovery. They say that a jobless recovery is a good thing. I suppose that does sound good but do you remember how democrats railed against the economic recovery after Bush's tax cuts? They said that was a 'jobless recovery' too ... yes there's a recovery going on but the jobs aren't picking up fast enough.
So, to these democrats, a "jobless recovery" was a really bad thing during the Bush years but the exact same nature of 'recovery' is acceptable when democrats are in charge. Sounds like a double-standard to me.
A bad thing is unacceptable when the other guy is in charge but the same bad thing is acceptable when we're in charge. Americans are beginning to understand how both parties routinely practice hypocrisy. We crave more honesty, openness, and clarity. To all our elected representatives: have you no self-respect or respect for us? Integrity matters! Practice it or please find another line of work.
