Failure to Raise Debt Cap Would Idle 800,000 Workers, Group Says - Businessweek
The study by Jay Powell, a former Treasury undersecretary under President George H.W. Bush, represents a challenge to Senator Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania, Representative Michele Bachmann of Minnesota and other Republicans who dismiss the risks of a government default.
Don't you get it? Republicans are TRYING to get the unemployment rate to go UP! That's what they want. Then they'll blame it on President Obama.
Yes yes but Obama seems to be increasing the unemployment rate quite nicely himself I rather doubt anyone at this point needs to help him.
There's job growth. It's slow, but it's there. That's certainly better than the 3/4s of a million Americans who were losing their jobs each month in the last months of George Bush's "pro-growth" economic policies.
