Pretty much anything actually. No labor stories on Labor Day. No mention of the fact that private sector employment continued to expand in August and that the contraction was actually due to decline in public sector employment. The media is also not interviewing many economists.

We're screwed because what we need right now is stimulus spending, and politically that's impossible. For ten years tax cuts have proven not to create jobs.

Well we do have decades worth of historic data, good point. I was referring to the Bush tax cuts coupled with the additional Obama cuts.

Yeah. And that budget deal in which Obama caved to the Republicans back in April may very well become our economic epitaph.
