Can you provide a link where he said this? I'm just curious to see if he actually stated something like this.

One more time, Fascism pushed for private enterprise creating policies and running the country, not the government elected democratically by the people.

The previous high wages was in 2000, at $52.5K. In 2008, it was down to $50.3K and continued to move down in 2009 ($49.8K). How much was it in 2010 or 2011 with Obama's policies in place? I don't know. I should be able to share those in couple of years.

What I can provide is BLS data on wages in private sector. In March 2011, for example, the average hourly wage in private sector was $22.89 and had grown faster than inflation since (at least) 2006.

It's not just the current administration. You have unlocked the key to the capitalist system.

So enlighten me, what did I miss?

Holding a large part of the world markets of all common trades you screwed up badly a couple of years ago, screwing the economy here in Europe and other parts aswell.

Now a few countries that had a bad foundation like greece and portugal are struggling to keep alive while getting ass-****ed through their own corruption etc, the US seems fine but at a long-time low and the rest of us are finally back going strong, in fact the economy here is as good as ever and if it keeps on going we'll be at an all-time high in 2-3 years... we were up at an all time high when it comes to unemployment, etc directly after the financial crisis, but worked ourselves back and beyond.

Your economy is also partly in the hands of the chinese, who thanks to your lifestyles and economic decisions hold enough dollars to crush your economy at will.

Is that why the Food Stamp program is now costing us 100% more than in 2008?
