“hopey, changey thing?” – working out excellently

Chicago Tribune: Fastest U.S. Hiring Since 1999 As Company Confidence Rises

A family-run concrete business in Michigan, the U.S.’s second-biggest carmaker, the largest railroad and a solar power provider in California are all hiring as industrial companies lead a broad labor-market rebound that’s on pace to add the most jobs in 15 years. Employment may be headed for a “breakout year” as companies feel more secure adding to payrolls following several years of demand rising only to stumble on threats from U.S. budget standoffs, a debt-ceiling induced default and a European credit crisis, said Marisa Di Natale, a director at Moody’s Analytics. Industries from construction to autos to oil and gas are increasing jobs as growth accelerates after a harsh winter stunted business. Help-wanted signs at concrete company Kent Cos. is one indication of a hiring rebound that could create more than 2.56 million jobs, the most since 1999, if the pace is sustained. Warren Buffett’s BNSF Railway plans to grow by 2,100 positions in 2014. SolarCity is adding 400 people a month at the rooftop power-system installer backed by Elon Musk. At Ford, hiring is so strong that the automaker predicts it may beat a 2011 plan to bring on 12,000 new workers by 2015.

Not so good is right. Palin's 15 minutes of fame has been up half a dozen years ago and nobody but a few wingnuts gives a flying fuck what she has to say about anything.

Insofar as she makes an ass of herself EVERY time she opens her mouth, and the fact she's afflicted with the Dunning-Kruger effect, we'll have comedy fodder as long as she has lungs and vocal chords.

but not exactly "excellently", thanks to the GOP. If it weren't for their obstruction, this country would have even more people put to work, the rich would get taxed at the rate that they should, and we'd be right there with the rest of the 1st world when it comes to health care.
