UE rate continues to fall - now down to 7.0% (parties, federal, claim)

So....... taking all the pros and cons of the current situation, is it trending towards positive or negative tea baggers?

Just need a one word answer: positive or negative.

Right on time for Christmas. Didn't we go through this last year? Haven't we gone through this every year since Obama has been elected? The UE drops around the holidays; Liberals give us the "I told you so" spiel, conservatives claim something about the labor participation rate; by Spring the UE rate jumps up again, liberals claim either GOP "obstructionism" or that the President has nothing to do with the UE or job creation; conservatives then blame federal restrictions on the the President's policies...and around and round we go.

Negative...

Since Obama declared the recovery began:

-Poverty Rate has Risen

-Number on Food Stamps has Risen

-Median Household Income has Fallen

-Ratio of Full Time Jobs* in the Economy has Fallen.

-Employment Participation Dropped and at its Lowest rate since the 70s.

-Employment Participation for 25 to 54 year olds Dropped and at its Lowest rate since the 80s.

-QE economic stimulus Increased to all time Highs.

Here is a question for you...what percent of the created jobs are full time and pay a living wage? You won't answer...the fact isn't convenient.

*Full time jobs tend to offer benefits unlike part time jobs...making this even more harmful

Don't hold your breath. They continue to mistake their rooting for the nation's failure for patriotism.

No doubt things aren't great or where they need to be but they have improved..... But I seriously believe they are rooting for failure. It's funny how this country reacted when a black, democratic man with a foreign sounding name becomes president. Or maybe they just hate democrats that much.

I wonder if America is the only country where the citizens get all pissy and butthurt when the country's unemployment rate declines?

Me thinks they just hate life in general and are just naturally negative people.

More to the point though, their track record is a WHOLE better than that of you wingnuts.

I could offer a retort for the wingnut reference but will let the mods handle it.
