Debates backtoschool, voters are not allowed to see or hear him say those words. Almost immune. We have a lot more on this, believe me. Lets get straight to your money. An economic indicator, here it is, 1. 19 million new jobless claims. That is the lowest number since the economy tanked. It is very good news for the recovery. The trend in new claims is flat out down. The dow industrials taking a little heart from that. We were lower, now were going to be up maybe 30 odd points. Not much of a gain.

President s chief economic adviser larry kudlow. Hes going to join us. Thats the question we will ask, when, where and how will some americans be able to get back to work. Now, check out the market. It reopens today after a threeday weekend. Last week was one of the best weeks in decades, with the dow rising 12 . No significant pullback this morning. We are down just maybe 70 odd points for the dow industrials and well above 23,500. How about that. The s p down about. 33 and the nasdaq, same thing, down about. 33 .
