He doesn't know how to grow an economy. He knows how to stimulate government, the Chicago way.
Quote:
Looked at through the political prism, red states — those likely to vote for Mitt Romney this November — gained jobs, on average, under Obama. Blue states, in contrast, had an average job loss rate of almost 1%.
And since the recovery started, red states have had a job growth rate of nearly twice that of blue states.
Yeah I know, this is such BS. Obama could totally bring this entire nation to peak prosperity, but he won't because he's Obama. Reagan would have done it in 6 months. Am I right or what, guys?!

Well, of course workforces have shrunk at the state levels.
Isn't that what the TEA party and GOP wanted? Fewer public sector jobs?
I so wish people would make up their minds. Either they want less government or they don't.
Meanwhile, saw this yesterday:
"Payrolls increased in 32 states in April, while the unemployment rate dropped in 37, indicating the labor market improved across much of the U.S.
Indiana led the nation with a 17,100 gain in payrolls, followed by Texas with 13,200 more jobs. The jobless rate dropped the most in Arizona and Oklahoma from the prior month. "
He doesn't know how to grow an economy. He knows how to stimulate government, the Chicago way.
And why shouldn't he be lecturing Europe on growth? Since bottoming out in late 2009, the US economic growth rate has been between 2 and 4%. In that same time frame, Europe has yet to crack the 1% rate, and they currently are experiencing a negative growth rate.
Thank God we didn't elect the Republicans in 2008 and allow them to implement their European style austerity plan. Had we, that 16 state figure you mentioned in the title would be 0.

May be because this country's economy was a massive disaster when he took office, that even with private sector payroll expanding by 4.2 million (during 28 straight months of job growth, BTW) that outside of another massive short term bubble similar to 2005-2006 that "conservatives" hang their hats onto, will take a long time to recover from?
Something to think about... then debate.
