Well, That Didn't Take Long.


Teabag Nation is mad, mad, mad at brand-spankin'-new Massachusetts Senator Scott Brown for bucking GOP wishes and voting in favor of debate on a Democratic jobs bill.
In other breaking news, they are also mad at almost everything else.

The Hits Just Keep On Comin'.

From Reuters:

Job losses in the U.S. private sector accelerated in March, more than economists' expectations, according to a report by ADP Employer Services on Wednesday.

Private employers cut jobs by a record 742,000 in March versus a 706,000 revised cut in February that was originally reported at 697,000 jobs, said ADP, which has been carrying out the survey since 2001.

The big drop foreshadows a huge decline in the non-farm payroll reading in the government's employment report that will be released on Friday, some analysts said.

"It's a terrible number. It is almost a loss of three quarters of a million jobs which is possibly the highest we have seen so far over the length of this crisis," said Matt Esteve, foreign exchange trader with Tempus Consulting in Washington.

From the Los Angeles Times:

U.S. home prices continued to fall at a record pace in January, according to a leading national index released Tuesday.

The Standard & Poor's/Case-Shiller index of home prices in 20 metropolitan areas showed a 19% drop from the same month a year ago, the largest decline on record for a January. All 20 metropolitan areas showed a price decline from a year earlier.
