I just realized why the GOP thinks the last 7.5 years have been a disaster.

[nat4900]

the gop under obama have swept governorships, house, senate, everything from dog catcher to mayor.
We now control 75 pct of the political landscape.
rderp is obviously living in an alternative universe.

rather than JUST stating the median income for average family.....Figure out how much MORE the 2% of billionaires/millionaires' income has increased.......Zero sum base economics.

What Sanders has shown, however, is how many backers of his policies there really are within our population.Ignore that at your won risk.

Much of the above conservative nonsense and BS confirms why they are failures in government and out. When your god is supply side nonsense and free market baloney only the wealthy benefit, the followers are simply directed to look in the wrong direction and they do so like puppets. Mass right wing corporate paid agitprop has created a class of dummies. Consider that Limbaugh drives a German made 'union made' auto that helps Germany and pays for their free college, and yet the righties listen to him as if he were Moses. Too funny.

Supply side economics works, sorry if you libs can't stand it. It's been proven countless times. It will work in your life too if you start a business. And most business people are not wealthy, they just provide a service or goods.

The left wing establishment is just as much in bed with big corporations, follow the money. Libs turn a blind eye to it and only see what they want. That's why most of you are the dependent class, needy and incapable of surviving off the government titty.

Supply side economics worked very well for a tiny minority of people, but has been a gross failure for for the vast majority. Monarchy worked very well for a tiny minority, but not so well for the majority. Supply-side economics is just a means to achieve Mussolini style fascism.

Liar. It's how the economy actually works. If you are that stupid ....you're a liberal.

That's how the economy works only when the fascists are in power.

obama has veto power so no budget gets by his desk and the GOP hasn't stood in his way for the most part. So you are blaming the economy on the GOP?

We saw how GOP policies wrecked the economy under Bush.

They used reconcilliation three times to ruin the country.

Even their nominee goes on endlessly about the GOP disastrous mess in Iraq. They don't seem to realize how stupid Trump makes them look when he makes fun of their foreign policies.

Business has bounced back under Obama.

The stock market has made up what it lost under Bush and then some.

And Republicans look at the 38,000 jobs created last month as proof of a disastrous economy. But look at the facts:

Bureau of Labor Statistics Data

Unemployment in 2006 was 4.7%. And now it's 4.7%. But at the end of Bush's second term, the unemployment rate skyrocketed and peaked 10 months into Obama's first term. Almost to the day of Bush's last budget.

America has 5.8 million job openings, matches all-time high

But on the other hand, it is also a symptom of a growing problem in the U.S. economy, where employers can't find skilled workers for the jobs that they need. That disparity is called the job skills gap, and it's a major challenge in right now.

Has America Run Out of Workers to Fill Its Open Jobs?

That "suggests that firms may be having difficulty in finding qualified employees in a tightening job market," Drew Matus, an economist at UBS Securities LLC, wrote on Wednesday. The headline on his analysis was "Has The Well Run Dry?"

Even before the latest report, analysts were fretting that Friday's data on weak job growth was a sign that companies couldn't fill openings. The economy added just 38,000 jobs in May. The unemployment rate fell to 4.7 percent, but only because the labor force shrank. Wages rose 2.5 percent over the past year, which isn't rapid but does indicate that companies are starting to compete for hard-to-get workers.

---------------------------

One thing we do know, companies are not competing for Republicans.

Competition for jobs the GOP isn't qualified for are why they hate immigrants. Keeping immigrants out only ensures companies will move away.

South Carolina Has The Nation’s Second Worst Graduation Rate — Will The GOP Offer Solutions?

In 2010, New Hampshire had the ninth highest high school graduation rate in the country at 83.3 percent. Caucus state Iowa was third, with 86.4 percent. South Carolina, however, is 49th, at 61.9 percent.

What would the Republican candidates do about this problem? Not very much, besides unite in their desire to abolish the Education Department entirely. As Patrick McGuinn, an associate professor of political science and education at Drew University, noted, “the common emphasis on a diminished federal role in K-12 poses a challenge for the GOP presidential contenders hoping to push their own sweeping education proposals and stand out on the issue.” Forbes Magazine noted following a GOP primary debate in Dartmouth that “not one candidate made the obvious connection between an improved economy and ending the dropout epidemic.”

------------------

Republicans talk about bringing jobs back that don't exist any more. They just can't bring themselves to see the connection between education and a good paying job.

Rubbish.

Not a good argument. Obama doesn't let anything thru he doesn't like and the GOP stopped fighting him in 2014.

 

[SuperDemocrat]

Most of the recovery started the minute the GOP took over and that is a fact. The numbers that are used to justify a recovery aren't even real because if you included the number of people working during Bush's years and now that 4.7% doesn't hold. The government is distorting the economic news in order to hide how bad it is out there. Unfortunately, no one chooses to believe the data because we have to support Obama, our master, in everything he does.
