A reminder that thanks to the no good terrible very bad Supreme Court decision in INS v. Chadha, this is subject to a veto. He'll be annoyed by having to veto it, that's what they were trying to avoid. But even if both houses pass it, that's what will happen.

3 Screenshots from the movie "Bring It On" (2000): First, a group of cheerleaders in red and black uniforms sit at a table with a red cloth, looking engaged; a subtitle reads "Nationals are February 10th." Second, a team of cheerleaders in green and yellow uniforms perform an outdoor routine, forming a pyramid with cheerleaders elevated above their teammates, against a backdrop of blue curtains and a large white star. Third, another cheerleading team in red and black performs a similar routine, also forming a pyramid with raised arms, infront of the same curtains and star decoration.

Feb 10th - The Toros faced the Clovers at the national cheerleading competition.

No they definitely have not seen it, but I guess their forecasts are bad

This has nothing to do with unemployment insurance claims?

UI claimants are only a fraction of the unemployed population, and the unemployment rate and payroll job numbers are from surveys that undocumented people do show up in.

OTOH, if hassett expects a low number I’m revising my forecast up.
