I do not know if STRIB picked up the headline and published it canned by AP along with the story, but this link, headlined, "The economy lost more jobs than expected last month, putting the strength of the recovery in doubt."
What?
Have you seen any "recovery"? Are the community banks failing at some miraculously lower rate than over the last fiscal quarter? Is business credit now more readily available? Are the payments getting easier, or harder to meet?
That recovery is as real as the emperor's new clothes in the story where a child cried, "Butt naked --- ".
Where does the senior editorial staff at Strib get the idea they can pull stuff like that and NOT get called out over it? Experience? The sheep haven't bleated when the functional equivalent's been done time and again before?
Not that bad.
"... the strength of the recovery" is not the focus of doubt, it's nonexistence despite what officials and press are saying is.
