Associated Press | President Barack Obama on Friday hailed a new government report showing the most jobs created in nearly three years. “We are beginning to turn the corner,” he told employees of a manufacturing plant that received government stimulus money.

“We’ve broken this slide,” Obama said several hours after the Labor Department reported that businesses added 162,000 jobs to their payrolls in March. He said the new figures point the way toward “helping us climb out of this recession,” the deepest in 80 years.

    Turning the corner for who?
    For the elite, for the bankers, for the investment firms
    Everyone’s raised gas prices, beer prices, sales tax, property taxes on the latest inflated economic news while even people
    who aren’t lazy are still unemployed or underemployed
    asking where’s this supposed good news for the people?
