There's That Word Again

Again, reporters are saying that claims for unemployment benefits "unexpectedly" rose last week according to the latest report. Whether they expected it or not, it is the reality which will be the final nail in the coffin of the Democrat's attempt to hold onto power in November. After all, claims for unemployment benefits are now at a nine-month high, the highest since mid-November of 2009, and probably only decreased this year due to the employment of census workers.

With the overspending and general policies employed by the Democrats, it is hard to see how the numbers could go anywhere but up as businesses are weary of new regulation and the invariable tax hike that is all but certain for 2011. One analyst said that the trend of unemployment claims indicates that the economy "ran into a wall in August." Democratic candidates won't be able to go over, under or through this wall they created in November.
