Cavuto: Focus on Jobs, Not Snow Jobs

Missed Friday's Cavuto ? Catch "The Deal" right here on FOXBusiness.com

The snowstorms are over…for now.

Put the shovel down … right now.

Here's the deal:

Focus on jobs, not snow jobs.

Because you know things are really bad when Harry Reid looks at today's employment report for February and says "only 36,000 people lost their jobs today, which is really good."

No, senator, that is not really good.

What would be really good is "more" people getting jobs.

Not bragging about fewer people than you thought losing jobs.

It's time to 'fess up, and put the shovel down.

That job arrow is still headed down.

36,000 more Americans joining the unemployment line last month.

And the only thing democrats can say about it is, blame the snow.

Things were so bad because the snow was so bad.

Now, I’m the first to agree three bad storms in one month don't do much to help construction jobs.

But how does that explain 7,000 more federal government jobs?

How is it that no matter the cold, government hiring is always hot?

How is it that after nearly 800 billion on stimulus and tens of billions more in half-cocked jobs programs…we're not looking at full employment?

We are. But for the government.

Not everyone else.

Some. But clearly not all.

The trend "is" getting better.

But we're "still" losing jobs.

And you can talk all you want about the jobs you created or saved, go with the payroll data we've always known and trusted.

We're down four million jobs since this president took office.

So go ahead and blame the snow.

Go ahead and blame the guy before you.

Go ahead and swear on a stack of bibles things would be much worse had it not been for you.

Here's a Fox news alert:

Things are worse with you.

Not better. Worse.

Not more jobs.

Fewer jobs.

Not lower unemployment. Higher unemployment.

So things might yet get better.

Just like winter invariably leads to spring.

And then you can stop blaming the snow.

And maybe start crediting … I don't know …

The sun.
