    Pew is funded by Soros shills, so what's your point?

    MILLIONS of jobs added under President Obama - HUGE contrast to the millions of job losses under traitor Bush.


    THANK YOU MR OBAMA!

    Funny how when Pew posts numbers favorable to the right wingers, they love it.

    When Pew posts numbers the right wingers don't like, now they claim it is controlled by Soros and that its facts are unreliable.

    The point is that the Murdoch Street Journal is another RW propaganda outlet along with the other Murdoch "news" outlets.

    Then I guess Pew is another LW propaganda outlet along with the other Soros "news" outlets. Fair enough.

    Funny how when the WSJ posts numbers favorable to the left wingers, they love it. The real problem for the Democrats is the economy has been in a stagnant malaise for the last 8 years with Obama as President, 4 years of Hillary will be the same.

    That's what the GOP wanted and why they gave us austerity, sequester, and obstruction:

    Step 1: Obstruct and use control of the House to (*)(*)(*)(*) up the economy. E.g. Create as much uncertainty as possible by threatening to cause the US to shut down the government, default on its obligations, and wreck the economy. Add 700,000+ people to the unemployment lines by eliminating government jobs. Block every single proposal by the President to create jobs. Force austerity cuts in Govt spending to prevent or limit economic growth.


    Step 2: Blaaaaame Obaaaaaamaaaaaa and count on tghe sheeple being ignorant and misinformed or simply blaming whoever is president.

    The best thing we could do for the economy is vote the billionaire panderers out of Congress.

    When Obama took office the economy was tanking at a -9% real rate, losing 700,000+ jobs a month, unemployment was 7.8% skyrocketing upward, and the stock markets and housing markets were crashing in the worst recession in 80 years. The deficit was running at $1.2 trillion, soon projected to hit $1.9 trillion, the housing market was destroyed, and the economy was headed straight for a depression.

    But now the the private sector has added more jobs every month for a record 77 months in a row, stock markets are up about 180% from their recession lows to record highs, corporate profits have hit all time highs, we've gained back all the jobs lost in the recession and millions more, the housing market is recovered, the deficit has been cut by more two thirds, the unemployment rate has fallen from 10% to 4.9%, and 15 million additional private sector jobs have been added since Jan 2010.

    Only those invested in failure for political purposes could say the economy has been in stagnant malaise for the last 8 years. If Obama were a white Republican, conservatives would be hailing him as a savior.

    There, there Iremon.............

    [​IMG]

    Look at the stack of regulations for Obama Care.....If you are looking for a reason for Obama/Clinton's stagnant malaise, you're looking at it in the photo above. It's the reason the Democrats lost the House in 2010, the Senate in 2014 and the White House in 2016. Hillary is just Obama in a Pants Suit. The Republican's will fix the economy when the obstructionist Obama is gone from the White House.

    GOP obstructionism:

    Maybe we should have done it more like when Reagan was president.


    Not Austerity:

    Reagan
    Federal Spending increase, 1981-1986: +46.0%.
    Total government employment, 1981-1986: +879,000

    Obama
    Federal Spending increase, 2009-2014: -0.53%
    Total government employment, 2009-2014: -540,000

    LOL, RW propaganda. Reagan inherited an economy that was booming with a 7+% real growth rate in which the economy was gaining jobs.

    Obama inherited an economy tanking at a -9% real rate and losing 800,000 jobs a month.

    Only in RW propaganda world could you say Reagan inherited much worse.

    Nearly 100 million American workers have been idled by the current stagnant economy. The economy is very bad for the working class.

    You really do not know that the figure of nearly 100 million workers idled by the bad economy does not include "grannies" in "old age homes"?

    Or are you just feigning ignorance to entertain me. ;-)

    Well have fun, but the nearly 100 million workers idled by the current sick economy do not include "grannies" in "old age homes". Surely you know that?

    I think this could be true. If you can offer some research showing the composition of those jobs, it would be more compelling. Some research showing the increase in jobs is part time and an associated decrease in full time jobs.

    No, what is ignored are the many legislative bills brought to the floor like Nancy Pelosi's proposal to give tax break incentives to companies that would bring back jobs to the U.S. and the Republicans blocked that idea. That's why job quality is lacking in this country.

    Under Reagan the country went into debt 1.8 trillion more by the end of his 2 terms and the economy flourished. They spent a lot more under Obama. We are currently spending even more than under Bush and the economy is at an average of less than 2% growth since Obama was elected. It should be clear that more spending DOES NOT equate to economic growth, it's what the money is spent ON!

    [​IMG]

    Obama 2009 to 2016 less than 2% mean GDP growth.

    [​IMG]

    Reagan 1981 to 1989 4% mean GDP growth. Maybe we should cut spending back to Reagan levels.
