The way things have been since September of 2008, I celebrate every improvement. And I think we are seeing improvement. I would argue it is in spite of what the clowns in DC are doing, rather than because of it.
As Trajan pointed out, some of the improvement comes from the way statistics are compiled. My unemployment ran out, so I am no longer unemployed. Even though I am worse off by 300 per week and still not working
I got 2 brothers in the same boat. Good luck my friend, may 2012 being you a good job.
