1. U.S. forces have endured the highest casualty rates in Afghanistan under Obama.
2. Obamacare is the largest Tax increase in history.
3. Housing "starts" does not mean a home people can live in. I could bulldoze a square patch in a field, wrap it with caution tape, and it would be counted as a "start".
4. Consumer spending is up because Christmas is coming.
5. Auto sales are not up... Many automakers are diverting cars to the U.S. market because sales are flat in cash strapped European countries. In a global economy they are NOT up at all.
6. Even if the housing bubble is at the bottom, many have balances on their mortgage's that exceed the value of their homes.
7. The people who have given up, and whose Unemployment benefits ended are not being counted.
8. Military spending being down, does not translate into our troops being safe.
9. Gas prices are at ridiculous highs since Obama took office.
10. Good for you...
One out of ten isn't all bad.
