This is the summer of recovery part II.

You'll see.

Another Trillion here, another Trillion there.

WOW! Look at the stock market!

Smaller workforces and lower payrolls create profit!

Your glorious Dems were making the bank laws giving no look loans to everyone, that wasn't a Bush deal.
He addressed that he saw a problem with that, then 9-11 hit us and he went into war mode.
Congress kept screwing up the banks, and you know the rest.

Unemployment rate, or job growth?

In fact, minimum wage jobs are (and were) going through a quasi mini boom.
1- Do you believe the job losses started as a result of stimulus? I do.
2- Do you think that jobs losses were a result of the recession? I do.
3- Do you believe that job growth/loss is a trailing indicator? I do.
4- Do you believe that any stimulus will show effects immediately? I don't.

The last recession officially ended in June 2009. It has been 22 months since. Likewise, 2001 recession officially ended in Nov 2001. Let us see jobs added to private sector over a span of 22 months following the two recessions:
Nov 2001: 109.575 million
Sep 2003: 108.421 million

Private Sector Jobs gained: -1.154 million

Jun 2009: 107.936 million
Apr 2011: 108.862 million

Private Sector Jobs gained: +0.926 million

Which of the two recoveries do you consider to be better? Please explain.

Math is not wrong. It would be hard to blame the calculator for that one. I was wrong. I should have said... Limbaugh Logic instead.
