Enlighten Me

Would someone tell why we assume to be in such a growing economy, stable, and in "no crisis" mode, when the latest employment numbers show 25% less then forecasted (146K instead of 195,000). Now 3-5% error, I would consider tolerable, even 10% I could still see as a one time miss, but 25%? I am not convinced that borrowing money from abroad as fast as we do is healthy and sustainable. Where are those deficit reductions that were promised by the administration? The deficit is still growing! Where is the end of this? I hate being so dark, but we have to get our act together! We need some real results and not some phony stuff that catches peoples attention today and is forgotten by tomorrow.
