I googled it and the actions that 'set in motion' the recession that started 1 year after the Dems took over the House & Senate was still primarily caused by Democrats. Since Republicans took over Congress 1n 2011,, the Deficit has decree d every year from 1.5 trillion (Obama, Harry & nancy) to 492 Billion (still sux but we need Repubs across the board to fix it all the way)

"No, I said the economy started fixing itslef when we accelerated fracking and elected a Republican Congress in 2010...Boenher and company saved us from the Harry (Dementia), nancy, & barack insanity....actually Obama is the better of the 3 and nancy is just a little loopy but Harry is full-fledged sinsane imo." -- Tall Traveler

Here is a fact for you. The number of employed hit bottom in Sep/Oct 2009, well before the election in 2010 or taking office in 2011. The number of employed has been on an upward trend ever since.

So you think the actions that caused the recession all happened in 2007? Yeah, your Google must be broken.

Here is an easy to read link that should teach you about the causes of the recession and give you an idea some of the dates in this time period that created the recession in December 2007.

Causes of the Great Recession - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

...and, at less than 63%, the labor force participation rate is at a 37-year low.
295K new jobs doesn't come close to being good news.

"that didn't really mean much'

Are you serious?

It gave the MAJORITY to the dems.

EVERY Senate committee had a DEM MAJORITY.

The Senate Majority has hell of a lot of POWER.

He CONTROLS the Senate.

Witness all the control harry reid has welded in NOT allowing bills passed in thre house to be given to the Senate committees, etc.

You get more nonsensical with each claim.

If you think, ""that didn't really mean much'" it goes to show NOTHING you say has ANY crdibility beacaus your LACK of knowledge on the facts.

For the umpteenth time most new jobs went to "immigrants" not Americans and many of these new jobs were part time. Get back with me when good paying blue-collared jobs come back and Americans get them. Right now they are either going to "immigrants" or are being outsourced.

Jobs magically appeared after the Democrats lost control in 2010 and couldn't continue their path of destruction. Funny how things started to improve once "the party of no" get on the way of the Dems agenda.

Funny how the economy went into the toilet after the Democrats gained control of both the House and Senate in 2006 and went on a spending spree with the taxpayers money.

He probably voted for him 3 times, remember checking ID is racist and discriminatory.
