Stop the PRESSES!!!

Sucky economic news, really bad, BUT for once not WORSE than expected.

U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A!!!!!


The number of new jobless claims and the total number of people receiving benefits both dropped unexpectedly last week, though they remain at elevated levels unlikely to fall substantially in the coming months...

Still, the tally of initial requests for unemployment benefits fell to 639,000 from the previous week's figure of 670,000, the Labor Department said Thursday. Analysts expected a smaller drop to 650,000.


We'll know if the streak is really broken tomorrow with the jobs report, predicted to be a minus 700k.
