But the celebrations bring to mind what a wit once said: An “acceptable” level of unemployment means that the government economist to whom it is acceptable still has a job. Today, as we move into the third year of the Obama administration, we do not have anything resembling even such an “acceptable” level of unemployment. Far from it. As of this month, 14 million Americans can’t find work.
Elder Robert D. Hales of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles said that when President Hinckley “comes up against an insoluble problem, he goes to his knees.” This illustrates an important principle or two about prayer. President Hinckley did everything he could to solve his own problems.
