Alan Kreuger, head of the White House Council of Economic Advisers, said the “employment report provides further evidence that the economy is continuing to heal from the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression.”
He added that it “is critical that we continue the economic policies that are helping us to dig our way out of the deep hole that was caused by the recession that began at the end of 2007.”
Translation: We’re cleaning up George W. Bush’s mess. Give us a second term to finish the job.
