one other tax cut... which was exchanged for the 99ers money. the death tax has an exemption to 5 million and it is portable for 2 years. This typically doesn't mean anything to most people until it hits them directly... which it is now doing for my siblings and I. So, let me say to Congress and Obama. Thank you for acting on this issue in a timely manner with very responsible legislation.
here you go, ricter. this is a semi-decent editorial on jobs from bloomberg: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-...opped-so-fast-commentary-by-alan-krueger.html this is the last section, which is particularly insightful (for alan). indeed. that is what i was referring to when you look at the labor participation rate that the BLS provides. it is telling all in itself of a problem far greater than seasonal factors. there is a structural problem beneath the surface.
