Fog. Confusion. Frustration. With recent unemployment numbers being called terrible due to record low labor force participation, how can they blame it on the weather, or tell you to ignore it. Yet, apologists continue to blame poor economic growth and strife on the weather, or tell people to ignore the facts. Bob Davis gets you up to date on the latest trends in the news, as no one else can, with insights on the labor department numbers last week, Chris Christie, the ‘civil war’ in the Republican Party, why the ‘Polar Vortex’ is just what we used to call winter, Dennis Rodman and more.
