Boehner Looks Ahead to High Unemployment

The incoming Speaker of the House retweets a gloomy economic point from James Pethokoukis of Reuters:

The original tweet didn’t include the “Where Are the Jobs” hashtag, which was a Boehner theme from Summer 2009 to… well, to now. The difference between today “the end of 2012,” of course, is that in December 2012 John Boehner will have been Speaker of the House for two years. He’s really serious about that “president sets the agenda” stuff, to the extent that he’s not debunking a projection that two years of a GOP House won’t do much for job growth.
