Here’some really good news: Really:

U.S. private employers cut 473,000 jobs in June, more than expected but down from the 485,000 jobs lost in May, a report by a private employment service said on Wednesday.

See? Down 12,000 from May. Jeez, what do you want?

Though June’s job loss was the smallest since October 2008, the surprisingly large number of cuts deals a setback to those expecting the U.S. economy to recover soon.

“The data surprises me a little bit in that the consensus out there seems to be that business is improving and that the economy has hit bottom,” said Mark Bonhard, investment advisor at Dawson Wealth Management in Cleveland, Ohio.

“This definitely is not good news.”

Man, so much economic hostility. Don’t these guys know we are in the new era of Hopenchange?

The non-stimulating stimulus is a joke and the killer health care and retrograde global warming bills are even more dangerous. There is some indication that people are starting to wake up, but 2010 is a long way off.

OK, Gibbs, we did just what you suggest. And the conclusion is, total failure. The stimulus hasn’t worked, at least to stimulate anything other than Federal takeovers. So, wanna stand by your statement?
