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.
