I'm sorry....are you saying it is not the best growth in 2 years? When in the last two years was the change in real GDP higher?

 

[AnCap'n_Murica]

We haven't had back-to-back quarters of GDP growth over 3% since li'l Bushy left office.

Like I said, the standards of the prog sycophants couldn't get any lower.

That didn't answer my question. You were questioning the claim that 2.9% was the best growth in the last 2 years. So is 2.9% the best growth in the last 2 years or not? Bush was not President in the last 2 years, btw.

Good news that should please every American.

It should be, but the lunatic RWers who hate America will whine, as we see.

I'm sure all five of them will.

Those are not the same thing. The labor force participation rate is the number of employed plus the number of unemployed as a percent of the adult civilian noninstitutional population. Nothing to do with "out of work."

unemployed has nothing to do with out of work?

I didn't say that (though you do realize your 92 million figure excludes the unemployed?). If you take the number of employed PLUS the number of unemployed that is the "Labor Force" Divide the Labor Force by the adult civilian non-institutional population and you get the percent of people in the population who are either working or trying to find a job. How do you think that gives a number of people "out of work?"

And you still haven't stated what you're defining as "out of work" or linked to a source.
the most basic question is whether or not you're calling people who don't want to or are unable to work "out of work?" That would not be normal usage.

92 million out of work, that is not the labor force, that us the amount out of work. I do nit see any numbers that refute that figure.

Wrong again as always!

Clinton & Democrat Congress CUT Spending before Repubtard Congress came along to take credit!!!

Republican President Bush & Republican Congress EXPLODED Spending, Deficits & Debt!!!

Clinton Lowered Healthcare Cost!!!

Healthcare Cost EXPLODED under Republican President Reagan / Bush & Republican Congress!!!

If Clinton lowered healthcare costs why did Obama have to fix it?

Clinton cut spending? Right, from a 20% increase to 19.6% increase. ha, ha, liberal math and reasoning is great.

Repubtards Explode Healthcare Cost! Clinton Lowered it!

Clinton & Democrat Congress CUT Spending before Repubtard Congress came along to take credit!!!
Clinton Cut Government Spending by nearly 20%!!!

Republican President Bush & Republican Congress EXPLODED Spending, Deficits & Debt!!!

You leftist love high health care cost as you push for a government run healthcare system. Hillary Clinton wants massive expiation of government spending are you voting for her nutter?..What did Bill Clinton do to lower healthcare cost?

You are truly clueless!

It's called economically running government so it delivers what we pay for. Verses creating massive inflation by cutting taxes while spending more & not allowing government we pay more for to regulate. All elected Republicans & candidates signed Pledge to bankrupt the government who's very faith & credit that backs the US Dollar! They Love Inflation taxing workers to fatten wallets of the 0.1% that own most thing being inflated.

Reagan / Bush increased spending allowed RECORD CRIME rate!!!
Clinton Cut spending & Crime at Record rate!!!

lies, all lies, debt increased, spending increased every year under clinton.

But the unemployed are in the labor force. "The labor force includes all persons classified as employed or unemployed in accordance with the definitions contained in this glossary." Glossary

The unemployed are defined as: "Persons aged 16 years and older who had no employment during the reference week, were available for work, except for temporary illness, and had made specific efforts to find employment sometime during the 4-week period ending with the reference week. Persons who were waiting to be recalled to a job from which they had been laid off need not have been looking for work to be classified as unemployed."

But you don't consider them "out of work." How come? And how many of those Not in the Labor Force want a job, are able to work, and could actually start work if offered? (I'll help: it's 1,844,000 A-38. Persons not in the labor force by desire and availability for work, age, and sex)

So why is it bad that a total of 94,456,000 people not trying to work can't find work? Would you expect them to? Especially since 88,703,000 of them don't want to (or are unable to) work.

You Lie!

Bill Clinton Had Surplus that Reduced Debt US Treasury Debt to the Penny

12/31/1999 National Debt = $5,776,091,314,225.33

12/31/2000 National Debt = $5,662,216,013,697.37

For more than a year under Clinton Surplus the debt reduced $114 Billion dollars.

12/21/1999 National Debt = $5,728,801,689,365.32

01/19/2001 National Debt = $5,727,776,738,304.64 - The day Clinton left office.

 

[elektra]

As I stated, under Bill Clinton the Debt went up every year, it never went down. In order for debt to increase you must increase spending without having enough money to pay for the increase, hence you borrow. Bill Clinton borrowed money to spend, every year he was in office.

Remember, Democrats must always lie, or repeat a lie unwittingly. If they know the truth they lie, if they claim they are not lying, they still are, they are just not smart enough to know.

You Lie! You post debt from earlier in September, not end of calendar year 1999 to end of calendar year 2000.

Republicans can't be trusted to pay off debt! Republicans have never paid off debt in history! But Democrats have paid off the debt!

NO, you are ignorant! A FISCAL YEAR ENDS IN SEPTEMBER!!!!!!!!!!!!

Further, it is the government reporting this, not me. My link is to the United States of America Treasury Department. Check the link, it is to a .gov That is the government.

Seriously, where are you getting all your figures, it is obvious now, that you are simply posting lies, given the fact that you do not know that the budget is based on fiscal years, not calendar years.

I can not believe the level of stupidity "kissmy" has displayed.

2.9% is the "best growth"?!?

Do you prog leg humpers have seriously low standards, or what?

I'm sorry....are you saying it is not the best growth in 2 years? When in the last two years was the change in real GDP higher?

Pathetic... and it'll be revised down

You are seriously stupid. You said the debt went up "every year", not every fiscal year. I proved you are stupid & you continue to lie. I linked to the United States of America Treasury Department same as you. Check the link, it is to a .gov That is the government same as yours. Except my link shows daily debt levels that prove Clinton reduced the debt for over a year. See how stupid you are! Your big lie has been repeatedly busted, but you are to stupid to understand English, math & calendars!

Remember, Republicans must always lie, or repeat a lie unwittingly. If they know the truth they lie, if they claim they are not lying, they still are, they are just not smart enough to know. If Republicans are typing, writing or talking, they are Lying!!!

Fact: Bill Clinton ran a surplus!!! Since Ike, all Republicans do is run deficits, debt & inflation to tax workers & enrich wealthy! Since Reagan all elected Republicans & candidates for Congress or President signed Norquist pledge to drown government in debt! Republicans did away with PAYGO rules! No Republican president in history ever paid off the US Debt, but Democrats President has!

The Federal Reserve shows Clinton created a Surplus & Reagan / Bush 1 & 2 created Massive Deficits!

It will be revised 3 times. Are you claiming all three will be lower, just the first revision or the final from the advance estimate? And how do you know it'll be down?
