Prior to 2006, Republicans ran congress and there was a miserably hight unemployment rate of 4.6%. The democrats promised to do sometihing about that. This is a neat little movie about what they have achieved since they assumed control in January 2007.
Of course, the reality is there is a lot more going on than just who runs congress. Bush and Paulson really were asleep at the switch. But as a fun exercise in "post hoc ergo proctor hoc" it makes for some embarrassing watching for those who believed that a Dem congress would be a panacea.
