The US economy lost -92,000 jobs in February, a far cry from the +50,000 it was expected to gain. This is the 5th month out of the past 9 that has seen net job losses, for a total loss of -6,000 jobs over the past half year.

McGovern: How the hell is this America first? You guys broke your top campaign promise. Good luck with that. I hope the defense contractor money was worth it. Shame on you all. The mask is off. You're all just a bunch of pathetic Neocon Warmongers.
