They're Democrats, and Democrats need a faltering economy to win in
November. They call it good bad news.
Bad good news is when the WSJ re****ts an up month in April, or lower than
expected job losses, or that the economic troubles are actually caused by
policy matters elsewhere in the world. That is all good news for America,
but bad news for Democrats.
