Low jobless rate imperils economy

Low Jobless Rate Leaves Workers Too Tired to Shop

by Scott Ott

(2006-02-03) ? The Democrat National Committee (DNC) responded to today?s news of another drop in joblessness by warning that overworked Americans might be ?too tired to shop,? thus sending the economy into a tailspin.

According to the Labor Department, the unemployment rate fell in January to 4.7 percent, the lowest rate since July 2001, thanks to a boost in hiring across most sectors of the economy.

?George Bush?s tax cuts and other failed economic policies continue to sap the energy of potential shoppers,? said DNC Chairman Howard Dean. ?Wages are up, but people are working so hard that they have no time to spend that money. It?s a recipe for disaster.?

Mr. Dean said the latest unemployment figures are a boon to Democrats running for election in 2006.

?Our progressive ideas,? he said, ?will rescue people from the stifling confinement of offices and factories, and put them back on the streets where the stores are. It?s this kind of thinking that will allow Democrats to sweep Congressional elections, unless overworked Americans are too exhausted to get out and vote.?

I think he's aware. He's wondering whether this is actually supposed to elicit laughter. I think he has a good point.
