IMO, its not spin. Those of us who understand how econmic indicators work, know that employment is a lagging indicator. We understand that the economy will do better, but employment numbers will not immediately be impacted. We also know that unemployment numbers will likely rise for a short time, as the economy improves.
There is no magic wand. There is no quick fix. It's a slow process. Reagan supposedly had a great economy. During his presidency, we had 6.5 consecutive years if high unemployment (8% or higher). We had about 19 consecutive months of unemployment over 9%. Point being, historically, unemployment numbers take a long time to change, and do not always correctly reflect the current condition of the economy, which is why it is called a lagging indicator. This is all pretty commom knowledge, unless you think its possible for Reagan to have high unemployment and a strong economy. BUt don't believe the same can happen when the President is a Dem.
