Recovery Bill #2?

(Bob Cesca)
This chart might be the best pitch for more jobs-oriented spending:


Here's the decision the president will have to make regarding unemployment. Does he continue to let the recovery happen steadily on its present course and risk losing everything because of continued long-term (but slowing) unemployment? Or does he push for a second recovery bill that would surely create more jobs, while also begging a negative reaction from the wingnuts (Tyranny!) and deficit hawks (Generational theft!)?

Reich and Krugman are naturally pushing for number two as well.
