I, too, am pleased at the good news that the GDP has gone up. But for the 3 million people who have lost jobs, J-O-B is more important than G-D-P. This last month, another 46,000 jobs have been lost in this country; during this administration, more than 3 million jobs. This is the only President since Herbert Hoover who has had a net loss in jobs. I think this is very unfortunate. I hope the GDP continues to grow and in the process create jobs.
