I know I'm repeating myself here, but 10.2% and rising unemployment is not acceptable. If I traveled back in time to January 2009 and managed to convince Larry and Timmeh that I was not insane, and informed them that whatever they planned to do would still cause unemployment to be at 10.2% in October, they probably would have panicked and convinced their boss to do more (or different). But now we're at 10.2% it's like it isn't really happening. What would have been unthinkable back then is now a non-panic inducing status quo.
I don't know why that is.
