ORIGINAL: DomKen Spending has to be cut and revenue has to go up. The problem is doing it when the economy is still so fragile. We're talking about eliminating at least 1.5 million jobs, most of which are good paying industrial jobs. In a month will the intransigent Republicans be howling that the unemployment rate spiked? When some large percentage of those unemployed start drawing food stamps and other government services, inevitable with an unemployment rate near 8%, will those deficit hawks be so pleased with themselves? They'll be more than pleased. (And, it's closer to 200,000 jobs...but who's counting?) Maxine Waters told us it would be over 170 Million jobs lost... Make up our minds already[;)] 170 million jobs. Considering there are just a smidge over 200 million people actually working in this economy (and we have 320 million in the country), I'm gonna question that 170 million are unemployed, or have lost jobs. according to the BLS, there are 134M people working in the non-Ag sector.
