Record foreclosures, yes.
More people out of work, yes.
Higher unemployment for minorities, teens, yes.
Do you really think $6T in deficits are better?
What exactly is better?
So in other words:
Ignore the article because I don't like the facts that help President Obama in spite of Romneys dishonesty.
There is no point in telling you anything. Your arguments aren't worth that. That would be sheer waste of time and I have known that for a LONG time. The least you could do, however, is to learn and accept that it ain't telling... it is putting your argument where it belongs.
Some are here to deflect. They don't like the OP so they choose to attack posters instead of intelligently talking about the topic. Pay them no mind and consider the source.
Back to the topic. It will be interesting to see what Scott does in Response. At the end of the day, he will probably care more about his own political aspirations than those of Romney.
I lived in Florida up until last October, and things really did get better. I was able to quit my job to stay home full time, we bought a house on a nice piece of land in the country. We even bought a new car.
Mississippi seems to be the same. We bought a house here on 10 acres, I still don't need to work outside the home.

What is worse about your life?
That is an interesting post. HOw many people are actually worse than before. Certainly the people who are unemployed are in a worse position, but how in the world do people think that they are going to vote for the Republican party. The Republican party who has worked very hard to cut benefits to the unemployed.
I am in a far better position than I was 3 and a 1/2 years ago. WHich Republican poster on the board is in a worse position?
According to Scott it has gotten better in Florida in the last three years. How can that be since Obama is in the WHite House. Romney needs Scott to Say that it has gotten worse. He basically needs Scott to lie. Without Florida, Romney is sunk.
If a single state getting better is due to Obam, why isn't the entire country getting better?
It will always be better in states with strong, conservative leadership.

Those in retail know without a shadow of a doubt that things are worse.
The Florida governor has been touting how much better in Florida it has gotten over the last three years, but that does not fit well into Romney's doom and gloom campaign so Romney ask's scott to stop with the good news.
Rounding out the top 10 states with the highest foreclosure rate in May are Arizona, Nevada, California, Illinois, Florida, Ohio, Michigan, South Carolina and Utah.
Quote:
Some 33 states saw annual increases in homes entering the foreclosure process last month, with New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Florida posting the biggest gains.
Quote:
Repossessions were still down 18 percent from May last year, although 17 states saw increases, including North Carolina, Florida and Georgia.
Romney to Republican Governor's shhhhhhhh don't tell people that it is getting better in your state. Tell them that it is getting worse and it is Obama's fault. Romney has to win Florida. If he does not win Florida, it is over.
Nice job ignoring pghquest's post.
Can't defend your own thread?
Last month, in spite of thousands dropping off the unemployment rolls, unemployment increased.
How are things better when unemployment is increasing?
Civilian workforce participation is at 68.3%, only March was worse going back thirty years.

How is that better?
I do not ignore his individual posts. I ignore him all together. The ignore button is a wonderful thing. Every now and then IMO you make some good points and far less apt to make personal attacks instead of discussing the topic, which is why I don't have you on ignore.
The OP was not about whether the economy is better or worse, but about Romney telling a Republican Governor not to say it is getting better because he wants the people in his state to blame everything that is bad on Obama and do dampen the mood.
Before Scott has said, "'Companies are hiring, expanding, putting more Floridians to work,' 'Florida’s unemployment rate continues to get better.' This is not what Romney wants to hear.
