52. Economists and statistics don't mean much

in shaping people's "take" on the economy. IMO, it's dubious whether those new jobs are real, and in any event they're mostly McDonald's type jobs rather than well-paying jobs with a future. Come August, the average family is likely to feel really pinched by the price of gas, and by the other price jumps that result. It'll be harder to pull extra money out of their home by refinancing. Not to mention the insecurity of anybody in a job that can be outsourced. I think we'll have a great case against the Repubs for causing economic misery. If we can just make the case over the noise of propaganda.
