I wasn&#8217;t surprised to hear that we have 1.9 million less jobs now than we had when the &#8220;stimulus&#8221; program was announced.

Compared to last year, traffic is up 22.68%.   The number of visitors on Tuesday this week, June 14<span id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_1\" class=\"blsp-spelling-error\">th<\/span>, was 117.  That&#8217;s the highest for one day since January 24<span id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_2\" class=\"blsp-spelling-error\">th<\/span>.
