Re: This Sounds Like Goods News

Until one reads about how good economic times are bad for the health. Hehehe, perhaps Appleton will soon prohibit job growth.

For those who don't want to follow the link. I picked up on a blog yesterday by the Anchoress who found a Reuter's report linking good economies with an increase in the death rate.
A 1 percentage point drop in unemployment is estimated to raise mortality by 1.3 percent or 2,515 additional deaths per year from heart attacks, the study showed. The mortality rate is similar for males and females.
From a Reuter's story.

Why does it seem to me Reuters would have ignored the story if a Dem was in the Whitehouse?
