Jobapalooza

190,000 jobs lost last month, unemployment rate now 10.2%. The real story is the U-6 number hitting 17.5% however, and that means there are counties out there where the real unemployment figure is closing in on 30% or more.

Prolonged numbers that bad are simply going to drive local governments out of business. They're not going to be able to cope without raising taxes, period.
