So let us go back to the last month the GOP policies were in effect. 96,000 created beats 750,000 lost. Because that is what you gave us.
Not surprising tho that the 750,000 loss was recorded AFTER Obama had been elected. That was more than 500,000 than the 240,000 loss for October of that year. Businesses apparently knew what was coming.
And MORE than that, why don't we look at the last year that republicans were ACTUALLY in charge...2005!!!
See, congress is in charge of the purse strings in our republican form of government. Democrats were WARNED when they took control of BOTH HOUSES of Congress in 2006 with their 100 day pledge...if you raise the minimum wage to what they pledged, the result WILL be massive unemployment. They were warned by EVERY leading economist, including the CBO that it would put MILLIONS of not only school age kids out of work, but millions of young and the working poor out of work and would add MILLIONS to the welfare rolls. Democrats did NOT CARE!!!
THIS...is the result!
Democrats CLAIM to be the defenders of the young and the poor when in fact they are the OPPRESSORS of the young and poor.
The unemployment rate for those 18-28 years old....
53%!
How's that hope and change workin' for all you college grads setting in the room you grew up in, spending your days eating out of momma's fridge and pounding out blurbs about what morons republicans are?
The welfare rolls have increased 45% since Obama took office alone and during democrat stewardship, 53% of ALL Americans now receive some sort of government aid.
People, the so called Bush recession officially ENDED in January 2009, the same month Obama took office. Using the gross, unadjusted, un-doctored numbers, since the recession began...thanks to policies, laws and regulations put in place by the democrat Congress in 2006 (trends supported by adjusted data chart above), 8.7 million jobs were lost. 4.3 million of those AFTER Obama was inaugurated.
Since the economy began adding jobs...and in spite of democrats best efforts to torpedo it with insane taxes, spending and regulations like Obamacare and Frank/Dodd...3.5 million jobs have been added. That is STILL a 800,000 net LOSS since Obama took office alone and a 5.2 million job gross loss from pre recession levels under Bush and the republicans.
SCREW the unemployment RATE. If there are 10 people in the work force and 3 aren't working, that's a 30% unemployment rate. If there are a 100 people in the work force and 3 aren't working...well, THAT would be called FULL EMPLOYMENT!
The figure to watch when looking at employment is something called work force participation rate. Right now, that figure is at 63%. That is the LOWEST EVER!!!
The ACTUAL unemployment rate...is CONSERVATIVELY at
14.7%. That figure is likely closer to 18-19% if you could get accurate figures from those inside government intent on hiding the truth. THOSE are depression era figures folks!
So just keep on keeping on with Obama if you are determined that America must be destroyed and remade in the image of his father.
However, if you think that he will do ANYthing in the next four years with a republican controlled House and Senate that he couldn't get done with a VETO PROOF MAJORITY in both the House and Senate his first term...YOU ARE INSANE!
