The stock market has gone from 8000 in 2009 to 12,862 yesterday. I can't comment on the Fed. I'm not an economist.

You are right on the DOL and in fact can extend that same criticism to many other government agencies.
However, from my point of view republicans are very concerned about unemployment as the paramount creatorrs of jobs they are very interested in staffing their business with quality and suficient number of employees to ensure the success of their ventures. Whereas Democrats have historical increased the welfare state since the FDR days Johnsson, Carter, Clinton, Obama.....I opine you decide
