We went from hemorrhaging 700,000 jobs a month to the longest period of private sector job growth in history. Corporate profits are up 166 percent and the Dow went from 7,949.09 and right now it is sitting at 18,547.30. Remember when Romney said he'd bring unemployment down to 6%? It's at 5 under Barack Obama. If President Obama were a Republican, you wouldn't be able to stop crowing about the economy.
In my
first response to this idiotic post of yours (post
#227), I said that the
real unemployment numbers were double-digits. At least 10%. I was damn near spot on. Turns out it is 9.7%. It's downright scary how I am right
all the time wytchy.
Boom! Love being correct in the face of desperate progressives just denying reality and toting the official wing-nut propaganda of the left...


First, the
real unemployment rate (including discouraged unemployed workers not looking for work) is really at
9.7%. It’s stable, but it’s still nothing to rejoice about especially for workers age 16 to 19.
The absolute best
actual unemployment rate that Barack Obama has been able to achieve is a dreadful
9.7%. None of that has to do with a mom or the handicapped (as those demographics have always existed and yet we haven't seen the type of failure that we've seen under Obama). For most of his presidency it was somewhere between 16% and 20%. The reason we've been able to get it down to this point is because the American people turned the House, the Senate, their states, and their local municipalities over to conservatives who have worked
miracles in the face of Obama's best efforts to collapse the U.S. economy with his idiotic marxism.
Other indisputable evidence of the failures of progressive economic policy:
- Young Latinos now have a participation rate below 30% at 29.9%, nearly six percentage points lower than when President Barack Obama took office in February 2009.
- For the overall population, the rate is stable at 62.8%, still at a 39-year low
- Third, one can see the catastrophic private-sector figures in the industry report. The primary (mining) and secondary (manufacturing) sectors respectively lost 6,000 and 14,000 jobs.
