Real estate will be key to significant expansion, and it's looking more and more like real estate has indeed cratered and is picking up. The slack in the market is decreasing, houses are selling more quickly. Since real estate's absolute meltdown was at the heart of the economic slowdown, anyone paying attention knew it was going to take a while. Hopefully the real estate market will feed on its own momentum (which is the way it usually happens) and we'll see the overall economy gain its own momentum.

Silly-ass partisan politics bullshit notwithstanding.

you argue for obama's labor department unemployment numbers way to hard, like a rabid sheeple. you're non answer to the Reaganomics question. you lied and keep defending that lie.

How many private sector jobs were created under Reagan (I wish we had a way to keep beltway bandits off that list). How many private sector jobs were created under Bush? How many private sector jobs under Obama?

Under Reagan, +14.5 million
G.W. Bush, -596,000
Obama, +415,000
Since Reagan and Bush were Jan to Jan, I used not seasonally adjusted but used adjusted for Obama since it's Jan to Aug.

Just to make it clear, Reagan didn't create any private sector jobs, he got the government out of the way so the private sector could create it's own jobs.
