I'll bet Mitch is worth a lot more than $34 million in dollars; morally and as a human, he's worthLESS.

It's no surprise to me unemployment is low, and I don't get excited when 300,000 to 400,000 jobs are 'added' (recovered) to the economy. It takes that many new hires to replace the retirees no longer working, but still consuming.
