1. The only thing about that graphic...

is that everything from 6% up is a nice dark color to make it look really scary at the end.

But it appears to be accurate as far as the numbers are concerned.

3. That was my first impression, as well.

I received it in an email and need to respond something...not sure what. How does..."Yeah, he left quite a mess, didn't he?"

2. Proof we need to keep our powder dry instead of push for additional stimulus

When the country is in this much trouble, you need to save your legislative energy!

4. It is accurate. And does a good job of showing how this problem

is spreading almost like a cancer. 30 million + unemployed or underemployed people.

That's a huge amount of revenue that has stopped coming in, and a tremendous amount of automatic payment going out. And there appears to be nothing that would generate much if any improvement for several years.
