Unemployment under 5%. Lowest in 8 years. Thanks obama !

[SuperDemocrat]

This country will just have to break one day under 'liberal' economic policies. We really don't have the advantage of living in the soviet union where the people were facing mass starvation. It would be easy to see how bad things are and the advantages of the free market but in this country the worse things will get is that we may be stuck in some dead end job that we don't like. It pays the bills and gets us our iphones but it won't be as good as it can be.

"The U.S. economy added only 151,000 jobs in January."

US population grows by 200,000 per month.

Math r hard.

Right? Look, all I'm saying is if anyone thinks the economy is in good shape, they're delusional with a CAPITAL D.

Job growth is anemic, debt is out of control, the markets have been propped up with runaway money printing... we're on our way to becoming the Wiemar Republic.

All anyone has to do is go state by state and look at the gains and losses in jobs and industries to find that out.

They rather lie to themselves and the public.

All you have to do is look at Flint, Michigan....that's how penny pincher Republicans want to run the country.........

The mayor of Flint is a Democrat, doofus. Your circular firing squad works again.

You do realize that what's happening with the stock markets right now can't really be attributed to anybody?

No, I just gave her a dose of the stock markets under Doofus Bush and under other Republican Presidents.....she's still trying to figure out some way to make that be "wrong"!

How much is the Dow off this year? Oh, that's right, it has shed over 1,000 points in a since December

Considering where it was when Doofus George W. Bush left office....I believe it isn't as bad. If you want to see "bad" go look up what the stock market was under Boooosh!

the Obama administration has overseen an impressive upswing in the stock market. As of Sept. 12, 2014 the Dow Jones has more than recovered from its January 2009 slump, resting nicely at 16,987.51 for the day, more than double what it was on inauguration day. More importantly, it has maintained a healthy average between 14,719 and 17,162 for the past 52 weeks. Though there have been intermittent downturns, the Dow's general upward trend speaks well for the Obama administration's efforts at economic recovery.

House sets the tone for the economy. It goes down under Dem control, up under Rep control.

The President sets the tone for the economy and does better with a Democratic President regardless of the makeup of Congress. The Republican Congress we have now hasn't done crap except keep turn in "repeals" for Obamacare with nothing to replace it and "defund PP" while cutting off other medical aid to the poor in the country.



“The answer, while hardly a secret, is not nearly as widely known as it should be. The U.S. economy performs much better when a Democrat is president than when a Republican is.”

The analysis considered a 64-year period beginning with President Harry Truman and ending with President Barack Obama. In all, that takes in the complete presidencies of seven complete Democratic terms and nine Republican terms. Here are the findings on several economic indicators, and, in some cases, how they match up with Clinton’s claims:

Clinton: Economy Better Under Democrats

Wow, Clinton says economy does better under Democrats. Your evidence is overwhelming.
Fact is economy does better when Republicans control the house, worse when Dems do.

You know. The Law creation portion of the US government.

The U.S. economy is on the brink of a major meltdown.... probably this year. But of course it will all be Bush's fault. Anyone who looks ate where we are and sees prosperity is utterly delusional.

U6 (the real deal) is 9.9% Thanks for nothing Obungles

But, the GOP never uses those calculations when they are in the WH. The country is still trying to recover from the mess W left us with.

Would you prefer 14.2% U-6?

I suspect the real number is closer to 14%....only an Obama Butt licker is buying anything his administration is putting out there

Your suspicions are as honest and reliable as your logic, and your politics, for that matter.

Only some completely ignorant of government and economic indicators thinks the President has anything to do with economic statistics.

But if you think you have enough evidence to make your case, please share.

Now the GOP wants another chance to screw up the country. We haven't recovered from the last Republican in the WH.

The son of a bitch is offering a 40% discount on their water bill.....In other words, Flint's families will only have to pay 60% for the poisoned water the conservative governor has inflicted them with......

I believe these "water bills" also include sewer line and Trash pickup. more trickery by GOVT. If it was only a water bill and you don't use this bad Water your bill would be zero. But they confuse and mix.

 

[Iceweasel]

Democrats cut the shit out of the military and no matter how bad things get the media spins it to the positive during a Dem White House and acts like it's apocalyptic end of Earth during Republican administrations but you're full of it anyway. We did great during Reagan's term and suffered mightily under Carter, who oversaw double digit inflation and the Misery Index.

That sounds great, except for the fact that the BLS is part of the Executive Branch. Their survey methods are suspect; and the MSM quote the wrong stats to support the illusion that the economy is improving.

If you actually bothered to read through the data set, you'd see that without seasonal adjustment manipulation, the number of employed actually dropped by close to 700K and that the meager jobs being created are low wage.

Hopenchange!
