How pathetic.

I wanted to see the healthcare reform survive so I voted straight Dem all the elections that I could. In 2014, if the economy is still bad then I will definitely consider voted Republican. I won't vote for one though if all the preach is taking away affordable healthcare from the working poor.


I watched CNBC on Friday and an analyst stated (don't remember his name) it will take another 10.5 years to recover if the U.S. only creates a little more than 100k jobs a month-that is unacceptable.

I'm sorry but the affordable healthcare act needs to be thrown out-we as the people should have been able to read the details and actually vote on it. For politicians to state "we have to wait to read it" is ridiculous -

We need a healthcare overhaul but not Obama care

Could it be that the recovery is the slowest since the great depression because we came within an inch of having another great depression? Gasp!

It took a long time for us to get into this mess, and we're not going to get completely out of it overnight.

Dissidents,

You need to give Dear Leader Obama more time to fix economy. Communism cannot fix damage done by evil capitalist pigs overnight. Those of you that disagree will visit Gulag.

Good day, Comrades

One small example would be my brother, who severe asthma, was able to stay on our mothers medical insurance even though he turned 24 last year. Another example being that preexisting clauses, which I had to fight extensively this year, will next year be illegal.

More great things from Obamcare are yet to come. Next year we will truly see the greatness of this legislation.
I think we should start building statues of President Obama, VP Biden, Nancy Pelosi, etc... and put them on publik property all over the country. Not only will it remind us of how great they are, it will stimulate the economy by building infrastructure.

Anyway, read Paul Krugman today in the Times and he agrees the recovery is weak.

So even Paul Krugman says you're "ra ra, the economy is great" bs you've been posting for years is a lie...

Actually no.. economies are like rubber bands, the harder the crash, the faster they come roaring back.

Where did you learn economics because clearly it wasnt in school
