You guys are so nutty. Texas just set a record for jobs created in a year, and the majority of job growth is happening in red states. What does Obama have to do with any of that? Seriously?
This was the worst recession since the Great Depression. It takes time...I'm not saying that it couldn't have been faster but these things take time. Further...Obama has dealt with constant obstruction from the GOP on literally every issue. Every bill the senate proposes, every action that Obama takes, every everything...obstructed for no other reason than to walk the party line. The stimulus package that he lobbied for was supposed to be bigger but he rightly knew that it would have been opposed even more that it already was. Despite this the stimulus worked and substantial evidence exists to suggest that not only did it work in stopping the bleeding, but it marked the turning point in our recovery. A litany of economists have suggested that a larger stimulus would have only helped the economy recover faster. See the charts below.
See that dip in March....That is just before the stimulus kicked in.
All of these clearly indicate when the stimulus was enacted, yet the more telling point is that they did this despite being a hell of a lot smaller than the majority of economists suggested they needed to be ino order to adquately stimulate an economy of our size. So...if you want to complain out slow economic recovery...the GOP needs to look in the mirror.
So are you crediting Bush for the "robust" economy we are experiencing, because Bush started the stimulus.
Economy is on track for best growth in 9 years. Credit goes to our great President Obama. To think that he did this with all the Republican obstructionism, is incredible. This man is indeed the greatest President we've ever had.
are you kidding me? I mean are you serious? We've never ever in the history of our world, been in debt as much as we are now, and it continues to rise under Obama....
You actually believe what a liberal propaganda news media says about Obama, who paid to have him in there?
Really?
You don't think that cheap labor in China has ANYTHING to do with poor wage growth here in the U. S.?
Really?
REALLY?
