New U.S. claims for unemployment benefits unexpectedly climbed to a nine-month high last week, yet another setback to the frail economic recovery.
Frail? There has to actually be economic recovery to be considered frail. We’ve heard this mantra for 18 months since Obama’s Big Stimulus was passed, and, unfortunately, it doesn’t seem to be getting better. This is the longest lasting economic downturn since the Great Depression.

We won’t even mention Mr. Never Had A Real Job in the White House.
