The Dems could not shove anything through the GOPs filibuster power and Bush's veto pen especially the .70 increase in minimum wage in 2007 and 2008. To get the law passed the Dems had to allow more Bush tax cuts that he demanded and the GOP Senate backed up with a filibuster of the bill without Bush's tax cuts. And unemployment benefits get extended only when unemployment exceeds a certain level first, so their extension is the result of established GOP policy and not the cause of unemployment.So tell us specifically what law or laws did the Dems pass over the GOP filibusters and Bush's vetos, and the dates of their signing, that caused the downturn from the GOP policies that were already in effect.
The answer, or lack thereof, should be very revealing!!!
One of the biggest laws they passed was a hike in minimum wage. They were allowed to shove it through by attaching it to an Iraq war funding bill. Democrats also extended unemployment benefits. These two bills did a lot of the damage. When the problems that they wrought became apparent they refused to act.
Bush implored the Dems not to pass protest bills but meaningful legislation that would fix the problems that we faced. Instead the Dems passed transgender discrimination laws.
But at least you tried to answer, I'll give you that much.

I disagreed with Bush when he said it back in 2011 and liberals went after him for it and I disagree with it now. People need to save and after they get enough saved up to live at least six months worth of savings, then they go ahead and spend. It is a wise thing to do, it would help everyone avoid another 2008 melt down.

Bush wanted us to spend.......Obama wants to take our spending money away.
So who do you think was trying to encourage growth?

In case you forgot......the Dems held funding the war hostage with the MW increase.
You claim the GOP stops everything bad that the Dems try to do, but I think it's become clear that many Republicans think similar to Democrats when it comes to spending. They just don't go for the free rubbers, spreading the wealth, and all of the race-baiting that Al Sharpton and company practice.
Uh, Gallup doesn't determine the UE rate; the Bureau of Labor Statistics does.

All time low for conservatives
Rather than blame rampant speculation from a deregulated financial sector.....blame it on minimum wage workers
In case you forgot, the Dems held nothing hostage! The original supplimental aid to the Iraq war bill which had no MW rider was vetoed by Bush and the follow up bill which had the MW rider was filibustered by the GOP in the Senate until it had Bush's $4.84 billion in tax cuts for businesses affected by the MW increase.The Dems could not shove anything through the GOPs filibuster power and Bush's veto pen especially the .70 increase in minimum wage in 2007 and 2008.

So again we see that no bills passed the 2007 and 2008 Dem Congress without the full and complete support of Bush and the GOP Senate.

Those numbers are the adjusted numbers which make Bush look better and Obama worse than the unadjusted numbers.When Bush took office the end of Jan 2001 there were 137,778,000When he took office in Jan, 2001 there were 135,999,000 employed. When he left office his last full month, Dec., 2008 143,338,000 were employed. That was a gain of 7 million, 339 thousand jobs. Today, 4 years later under Obama employment is at 143,262,000, a net loss of 76,000 jobs since Obama took office 4 years ago.
employed and when he left office the end of Jan 2009 there were 142,187,000 employed for an increase of 5,409,000. However during that same period the unemployed went from 6,023,000 to 12,049,000 an increase of 6,026,000 jobs lost giving a net job loss of 615,000 over his 8 years.
Obama started with 142,187,000 and is at 143,262,000 for a gain of 1,075,000. The unemployed during the same period went from 12,049,000 to 12,029,000 a decrease of 20,000 for a net job increase of 1,095,000.
Do you have a link to the numbers? Not that I distrust you, however numbers can be skewed. When you speak of unemployed, are you speaking of those that are still receiving unemployment or the real unemployment, which is much higher.
We need 135,000 new jobs a month to keep pace with unemployment, that means that means we needed to add 6,480,000 jobs just to keep pace, your numbers show 1,075,000 added, that leaves a short fall of 5,405,000 jobs, yet unemployment is going down?
The numbers are not adding up.
Raising the MW increases jobs, which is why the CON$ervoFascist Brotherhood is against it.In case you forgot, the Dems held nothing hostage!

So you're saying that raising the MW didn't cost jobs?
Who's idea was it?
Of course we all know Obama knew this so did the left and most of the media but they had to get the messiah re elected
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- U.S. unemployment, as measured by Gallup without seasonal adjustment, was 7.8% for the month of November, up significantly from 7.0% for October. Gallup's seasonally adjusted unemployment rate is 8.3%, nearly a one-point increase over October's rate.
U.S. Unadjusted Unemployment Shoots Back Up

A higher minimum wage boosts workers incomes which increases demand and reduces turnover. The boost in demand and reduction in turnover provided by a minimum wage counteracts the higher wage costs and leads to job growth slightly above the national average.
Since it is a good idea you know it didn't come from the GOP!

You're proof of that.You never seem like a rational person.For several posts you seemed like a rational person but you start in with your typical CON$ervoFascist stereotypical babbling and you lose it.
And the crazy think they're sane.
