Jobless claims plummet

While the economy is on a downward spiral, there seems to be a positive...Or at least appears to be one at this moment. The unemployment rate has reported to been decreasing, falling under the 300,000 mark for the second time in almost three years. What do you think is contributing to this decrease? Do you think it is a result to Bush's policies to decrease unemployment or something else? More importantly do you see this trend continuing, and how long must it continue before the Bush administration get credit? Does he deserve any?
