The election in two charts

Unemployment claims stay flat (i.e. bad) h/t James Fallows


Personal consumption is down     ht/t  Brad Delong

The wrong way: the Christopher Christie approach: austerity budgets (stop spending money).  That depresses demand and reduces production, driving down prices, further depressing demand..
