...that those darn right wingers might just have a point about the perverse incentives of the welfare system. Well, sort of admits. But this is an interesting concession coming from an uber-progressive like Nicholas Kristof. Next thing you know, he'll be using words like... "moocher."

A drop in the unemployment rate to 7.7% sounds like good news, until you realize that the rate drop is driven in part by the disappearance of yet more workers from the work force. In November, another 350,000 workers vanished from the labor market. This has become a familiar story.
