via the New Republic's John Judis, comes this look at what seems to be very important in judging Presidential & Congressional popularity: unemployment. Seems like there's a heavy correlation. So maybe all of our elected betters who seem to be thrilled that the economy seems to be roaring back without job numbers acting as a drag on economic productivity, maybe ought to be concerned about said job numbers. Not for any reasons like for the well being of the country, for all the people who are out of work, or even the well being of the economy, but because they need to save their own asses. It seems to me that's the best motivation for action we can hope for.
