a fact…

Not that anyone needs something extra to worry about, but I found this curious. This is total non-farm  US jobs [in millions] from 1965 through 2009. Notice that the peak-peak increase [blue line] is fairly constant [actually going back to 1939 when this data began to be collected]. Then in 2001, things changed [green line]. I wonder if Bush noticed. Seems ominous to me. We’ve based our economy on an absurd idea of unlimited growth. Have we finally reached the era where we’re going to have to rethink that?
