3511 [lbo-talk] progress in disillusionment -- rank: 1000
In what Mike Allen calls a "17,000-word agenda setter," Eric Alterman announces his disappointment in Obama's presidency. http://www.thenation.com/print/article/37165/kabuki-democracy It's mostly about the mess Bush left behind, the obstructionist GOP, the right-wing media machine, and special interests. Obama just can't let his inner pwog run free. Nothing structural about the Dems. Still, this is progress of a sort. Doug

3516 [lbo-talk] Goldman sez: more stim, please -- rank: 1000

Both the manufacturing workweek (the only part of the employment report included in the index of leading indicators) and the employment/population ratio (the broadest job market measure in the household survey) dropped significantly in June. Given the noise in these ser ...
