| This really seems to be the arrogant American Way of Thinking Now. Because as we all know Americans still really do believe they are better than "the rest oft he world" and are still Number in Everything. I would change this to say: BORN FREE, NOW LIVING IS EXPENSIVE |
Holding out blind hope for the magical appearance of new jobs and the reappearance of growth in the economy is a fool’s faith. Politicians who think that merely chanting the incantation “jobs, jobs, jobs” will bring them and the economy back are fooling us if not themselves. When at least a tenth of Americans are out of work, for Wall Street to getmomentarily giddy at the creation of 117k jobs is cognitive dissonance at its best. No one can make jobs out of thin air. Jobs will not come back. A few new jobs reappearing won’t fix anything.To read more of the Fool's Faith and the magical appearance of NEW jobs go to Jeff Jarvis' Buzz Machine Blog.
