Quote of the day

From MaxSpeak:

Forgive me for repeating myself, but for job growth, this has been one stinky recovery.

It happens that the extent of actual job growth can be accounted for by growth in public sector jobs. And there's nothing wrong with that. However.

The upshot is that the triumph of Republican-conservatarian economic policy consists of an expansion of government jobs financed by loans from the Communist Peoples Republic of China.
