Since it is Thursday, the government released the figures for new unemployment claims for the week past. Once again, the number was just above 400,000 at 403,000 where it has lingered for quite some time now. This is poor; it is too high for there to be much job growth in the economy. It is sad to watch president Obama run around the country campaigning for a jobs bill that he knows cannot pass rather than actually doing something that might help create jobs. There are a whole series of things Obama could do on his own, with no need for Congressional action, which might produce over an extra million jobs in the next year. Instead, unemployment persists and America only gets slogans from Obama. We should change the slogan from "pass the bill now" to "dump this guy now!"
