U.S. Adds Only 88,000 Jobs; Jobless Rate Falls to 7.6%[W: 831]

Re: U.S. Adds Only 88,000 Jobs; Jobless Rate Falls to 7.6%

Except that's not my logic. The bill made it out of committee. Where it died was Senate leadership not putting it to a full vote in the Senate. That:s my logic.

The same logic would apply in the Senate. Whips know how many votes they need and usually how many they have. It was not brought to a vote due to the possibility of charges of racism from the dems. So you get left with 100% dems against and 10% reps against and you want to blame the reps? The opposition party must bear some blame for what they block. Somehow liberals only understand that when republicans do it, not when liberals do it. This was a fully liberal supported social engineering project, aided and abetted by establishment morons within the republican party.

It was, which is why one of the first things he did in office was to pass a stimulus bill.

The stimulus was a complete joke as it was focused solely on temporary measures and nothing that would or could have stimulated any long term growth in the economy...

Your opinion noted as I am sure your parents didn't have any problem at all paying the high interest rates during that period of time. Sounds like you are part of that liberal elite who talks about compassion but never shows any compassion.

It's not my opinion, it't the hard cold numbers which determine it...

Reagan: -1.5% GDP
Bush: -4.7% GDP

Sorry, but your numbers are skewed and out of context as usual nor do your numbers matter to actual people hurt by the economyu. You were too yound and as usual you buy what you are told failing to even do basic research. I feel sorry for people like you

What does that have to do with your first post? The point is, among his top priorities was addressing the economy. Which as I showed, he acted on by passing a stimulus bill. Who cares if you approve of it or not?

Obama: -2.0%

According to what you continue to post, Obama's numbers are so far worse than that of Bush. But GDP alone doesn't tell the story does it? I mean under Reagan, (the number you are using btw, is a two year number) at least people had some hope. All we seem to get with Obama is lies, and division for political gain.

By the way, Reagan took office, the GDP was 2.8 trillion and left it was 5.1 trillion

Bush took office the GDP was 9.9 trillion and left it at 14.3 trillion

Obama takes office with a 14.3 trillion GDP and the end of 4 years it was 15.7 trillion

Which economy helped the American people the most?

Under Reagan per capata income had risen by $5400.00, so far under Obama the reported number (if you believe it these days) is that income has only risen by $600.00. That is dismal by any standards considering what added taxation lays in wait for implementation.....This is not good, I can see Obama leaving office with a negative number on that front....Something no President has done in my lifetime.
 
Re: U.S. Adds Only 88,000 Jobs; Jobless Rate Falls to 7.6%

That's funny? I recall you proclaiming Obama's stimulus a rousing success. You even posted how it created/saved 3.5 million ... 1/2 million more than it originally targeted.

Another lie, Sheik, you are doing that more often now, must be getting desparate, with the Obama numbers that isn't surprising. That leads me to the question what is it about liberalism that creates your kind of loyalty?

Bush lost 4.7% of GDP during his Great Recession. Quarterly GDP has not fallen since.

Bush lost 4.7% of GDP during his Great Recession. Quarterly GDP has not fallen since.

Yet amazingly the economy grew 4.4 trillion during his term. How is Obama doing after his first term?

Nope, no lie. In fact, your post is still there. You said each job created by Obama spending $800B cost $228K. That equals 3.5 million jobs. I'm only using your figures, Con

Just something else you don't understand, stop lying, Sheik, prove that I BELIEVED the Obama stimulus was a succes? You are doing that more often now, lying and distorting. Still won't answer the question, will you? What is it about liberalism that creates this kind of loyalty?

Uhmm I don't see the Sheik being overtly loyal to any political ideology unlike some one else posting here.

In what possible world would you consider a job probably paying $25K per year, costing us $228K to create a success? Sounds like a huge rip off to me.

Hell, if you wanted to stimulate the economy like that you could have cut every American a check for $23K and let them just spend it.

So you are saying that the average government created $25K per year job, uses over $200K in materiel? I am smelling a huge load of BS.....

Riiiight. As if the GOP gives a flying **** about black people. :lamo

That doesn't even pass the smile test.

At amy rate, Republican leadership dropped the ball. They get the blame.

I don't know what your smelling, but it takes more than labor to build anything, you need materials and equipment to use.

Now it's my job to prove what you believe?? :lamoYou said each stimulus job cost us $228. A figure you insisted was how much each job cost .... UNTIL .... until I did the math for you and then you realized you just unwittingly admitted yhat Obama saved/created 3.5 million jobs. A rousing success!
