Things have certainly changed® from the good old days under Bush when practically anyone willing to work could land a job.  “Shared sacrifice” appears to be one of the few campaign promises that Obama is willing to follow through on.  Another 467,000 Americans lost their jobs last month.  In Obamaspeak, this means that something like 90,000 plusgood jobs were saved or created.  So don’t go getting in a tizzy over another half million Americans having their lives ruined.  Obviously it could have been worse had we not elected business hostile socialists to every lever of power.  See?:

Er, maybe not.

Unemployment now sits at it’s highest level in 26 years, and underemployment is at the highest rate since measurements were taken. By my calculations, (and I’ve got a degree in math and stuff) far from having saved or created anything, Obama’s assault on what little free market we started with has endangered or destroyed no less than 50 million jobs.  I welcome attempts by Obama’s economists to disprove this claim.

We are 1/8th of the way through Obama’s reign of misery, a.k.a. America’s latest “crucible of freedom”.  Perhaps it’s time for Team Hopenchange to stop blaming Bush and start addressing the reasons their economic policies aren’t performing as promised.

UPDATE:

Perhaps not.
