Recovering is a better term than growing. The recovery is also spotty at best. Even admistration officals are quick to point out jobs need to recover before it is really progress. Why are you having such a hard time understanding that?
I don't have a hard time understanding any of that.
I do understand, however, that unemployment is always the last thing to recover after any recession. It took 2 1/2 years for unemployment to start it's recovery for Reagan.
At the moment, unemployment has already dropped. Not by much, but it's an improvement nonetheless. That's a full year sooner than Reagan.
What I do have a hard time understanding is why anytime good news comes out, right-wing folks are quick to say that it's all some kind of charade, or find an excuse as to why "it won't last". It's like you're intentionally trying to stop the recovery from happening by undermining consumer confidence.
Now, I can see why you don't want Obama to succeed, but do you really want the US economy to go down again just to make a point???
This charade of "The economy is not really recovering" will end when they decide to change their story to "The economy would have recovered faster if Obama wasn't President"
