The economic naysayers keep winning the shouting match over the state of the economy.<\/p>\n

I choose to listen a bit more intently to the other side, the folks who proclaim the nation’s economy is doing better than what many Americans think.<\/p>\n

The latest job numbers provide reason for the positive thinkers to begin outshouting the other side.<\/p>\n

The U.S. Labor Department announced Friday the economy added 217,000 jobs in May. Unemployment held steady at 6.3 percent; there used to be a time when that would be seen as “bad news,” but in this era it’s seen as an indication that more people are re-entering the job-search market, that hope is returning.<\/p>\n

The May jobs boost comes after an April jobs increase that was even greater.<\/p>\n

Why, then, do the goofballs who want the current administration’s economic policies to fail keep winning the argument?<\/p>\n

My own guess is that they’re better at shouting over the opposition than, well, their opposition. Just maybe it’s time for those of us who do not share the Gloomy Gus outlook to begin shouting with a bit more fervor about the accomplishments that have occurred during the past six years.<\/p>\n

I’ve tried to make the point on occasion from my own platform. It’s not getting much run out there. Surely there are others like myself who believe in a bit more optimistic future than the other side.<\/p>\n

So, to whatever extent I can motivate the masses who share that view, I’m going to shout it out once more from this perch.<\/p>\n

The U.S. economy is in recovery mode! We’ve gained back all the jobs we lost during the Great Recession of 2008-09! It ain’t perfect, but then again, when is it ever perfect?<\/em><\/p>\n\n
