The employment rate is NOT the same, the Regime is manipulating the numbers. The actual unemployment rate (if you add all the people who have been dropped the rolls) is 11%. you are not adding jobs; that is a lie. Stock market doesnothing for the 24 million people who can't get jobs. But you're right about one thing. Things could be a lot better; and they will be when Romney is president.

But that's not what you said.

And try and document your revised claim.

The unemployment rate is the same. And we're adding jobs (albeit at a lamentably slow rate) instead of losing them at a hair raising rate.

The stock market is worth twice what it was in the fall of 2008

Car sales and housing starts are higher.

Things could be a lot better. No doubt about it.

But you don't spent thirty years of borrow and spend (the Romney perscription), deregulate the markets to the point where they become little more than rigged casino, and crash the economy, and than wave a magic wand and make it all go away. Particularly, when the GOP fights every measure you try and take.

Sorry, but we are better off than we were four years ago, and we're moving slowly in the right direction.

We know that promising tax cuts and spending increases at the same time doesn't work. We've seen this act twice now. Why hard core Republicans keep falling for it is beyond me.

 

[JackDallas]

You are if you believe the bullshit you repeat.

That claim is so blatantly false that it's downright idiotic, even by the exceptionally low standards you set.

You're going to sit there and tell us that Bear Stearns, Lehman Brothers, AIG were all hunky dory until January of 2009!

You're going to sit there and insist that the economy wasn't in free fall well before the Presidential election.

You're going to insist that we weren't shedding 750,000 jobs a month well before the Election or the Inauguration.

Are you really that stupid??????????????????????????????????

Man you are funny. According to you the Earth was created January 21, 2009. Nothing was here before that date in your world.

There is no evidence that the unemployment statistics are being manipulated.

There is only one political appointee in the Bureau of Labor Statistics. That's the Director.

But that post is currently vacant because the GOP has filibustered the Administration's nominee.

The methodology is exactly the same as it has been since Reagan changed it in 1984, to hide the fact that there were more people out of work in 1984 than there were when he took office.

Spoken like a ten year old!

No, it was here before. But it bore no resemblance to the world you folks have been instructed to pretend it did.

The world you are pretending didn't happen was a USA GDP negative 9% fourth quarter 2008 and bleeding 700-800,000 jobs a month. Now you just keep pretending it never happened.

No it wasn't; it was the creation of the Democrat Congress and Senate.

 

[ITALIA]

No it wasn't; it was the creation of the Democrat Congress and Senate.

You're making no sense. We weren't losing 700-800,000 jobs a month then? Yes we were. Fourth quarter 2008 wasn't negative 9% GDP? Yes it was. What was a creation of Democratic Congress and Senate? Are you saying things were worse then because of Democratic Congress and Senate? Are you finally admitting things are better now? Sounds like it.

Yes, but I blame the Democrats.

 

[ITALIA]

Yes, but I blame the Democrats.

Thank you for finally admitting the economy is better now than four years ago under the leadership of Obama. It was like pulling teeth. Feel better now?
