Bush's 26 Year High

No not his booze and cocaine days. If only it was just him screwing himself over. No, he decided to do it to the whole country. This 26 year high in the number of U.S. workers filing new claims for jobless benefits.

Initial claims for state unemployment insurance benefits jumped by 58,000, the biggest increase since September 2005, to a seasonally adjusted 573,000 in the week ended December 6 from an upwardly revised 515,000 the previous week. That was the highest print since November 1982, when 612,000 workers submitted new claims for unemployment benefits.

Bush and the GOP have tattooed their policies on the ass of American workers: FAIL.

Conservatives and Republicans sure know how to run an economy. Let's never forget their legacy.
