Current Events » in reply to Numbers are good, but economists had been hoping for 150,000.

What's the spin on the first net job loss since Hoover?

"Currently, there are now 913,000 fewer payroll jobs--the standard everyone is using--than in January of 2001. 1,032,000 fewer than the all-time peak of March of that year."

A: It's Clinton's fault - times were so good under him that no one could be expected to match them.

B: It's Clinton's fault - things were getting rotten and it just took timid employers time to fire people.

C: There REALLY are more jobs, and no loss, it's the liberal economists and liberal media just reporting bad news.

D: People don't want to work these days, just look at the signs on gas stations and gooey-burger joints BEGGING folks to apply.

E: The tax cuts need time, more time, a lot of time, can't really tell how much time, maybe about the time the US leaves Iraq and no one knows when that will be, that much time, to work.

F: It ain't so bad, every black Republican who wants to work and some who don't has a job (in the Bush Administration).

G: It ain't so bad, a lot of people don't want to work these days (preferring to live off the tax cut).

H: It ain't so bad now, just wait until we've had 4 more years in office.

Etc.

So what's the spin? What are the blogs saying, Limbaugh, etc.?
