Robert B. Reich Says Stop Blaming Bush

Bad news for the U.S. economy and for Barack Obama. We're in the jobs doldrums.
Unemployment for June is stuck at 8.2 percent, the same as in May. And only 80,000 new jobs were added. 

Remember, 125,000 news jobs are needed just to keep up with the increase in the population of Americans who need jobs. That means the jobs situation continues to worsen. 

The average of 75,000 new jobs created in April, May and June contrasts sharply with the 226,000 new jobs created in January, February and March. 

In Ohio yesterday, Obama reiterated that he had inherited the worst economy since the Great Depression. That's true. But the excuse is wearing thin. It's his economy now, and most voters don't care what he inherited.
