Economic Headlines of the Day

From Drudge:
Jobless claims rise 'more than expected'...

Senate to increase national debt above $13 trillion; Dems looking for political cover...
Notice how stories about jobless claims or unemployment always include the phrase "more than expected".

And there's this from the second story:
The Senate must soon increase the national debt limit to above $13 trillion — and Democrats are looking for political cover.

Knowing they will face unyielding GOP attacks for voting to increase the eye-popping debt, Democrats are considering attaching a debt increase provision to a must-pass bill, possibly the Defense Department spending bill, according to Democratic and Republican sources.

Profiles in courage.

These jerks in Washington don't have the faintest idea of how to live within one's means. The Democrats simply know how to spend and go deeper into debt, then they wonder how the country got into such deep financial trouble.
