Romney Reacts to Job Numbers
Reacting to Friday's announcement of unemployment dropping below 8 percent, Mitt Romney said the slowly improving economic climate "is not what a real recovery looks like."
"We created fewer jobs in September than in August, and fewer jobs in August than in July, and we’ve lost over 600,000 manufacturing jobs since President Obama took office," Romney said in a statement. "If not for all the people who have simply dropped out of the labor force, the real unemployment rate would be closer to 11 percent."

How did we get here? Noboby is buying anything. Nobody is hiring because nobody is buying. The feds. are printing money for this picture I see of wallstreeters diving into a pile of paper and throwing it all around, while the folks outside,watch their food budget double with no gas to get there to get it! Too sad to hope and too broke to change!
