I wish we had a choice this election that wasn't Bush again. Obama has already shown that his approach to fixing things is to spend 3.4 million per job and otherwise keep plugging on with Bush's policies. Romney hasn't even put forth a plan, but my money is on him offering more of the same. I wonder if we'll get a second option again in my lifetime.

Clinton never balanced the budget. Bush also inherited the bills Clinton signed that were the major players in the recession. Just sayin... :roll:

Gramm
Commodity Futures Modernization Act of 2000 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

And what has Obama done to repeal them?

You were being to nice. Bush inherited the Clinton Tech Bubble crash, which had a greater % impact to the NASDAQ than the housing bubble had to the NYSE. We had a recession, but bounced back. In addition if Clinton had taken the action and killed Bin Laden when he had the chance, how different would the history of the world, the US and the Bush presidency.

True, Clinton did not balance the budget -- he created a surplus that was projected to go into the hundreds of billions of dollars through Bush's term. :lol:

The dotcom bust was a joke compared to the financial meltdown that Obama inherited.

Thank you for the link. I do see several goals that sound good in a nice bullet-point list. However, that list and what actually happens are bound to be two very different things. I'm also not in support of everything on it.

In general, though, the page does give him a few points in my book for having a plan. I'm not a huge fan of every layout having a huge section on "Obama's Failure" before laying out his plan, but both sides do seem to be enjoying the attacks.

Look at the bright side... at least it is positive growth and not the 700k negative growth when this administration took over. Is it good enough? Nope, but again considering the state of American politics (total and utter gridlock and negative attack talk) and the state of the world economy due to the sub-prime mortgage melt down in 2007-8, then that there was growth at all is almost impressive.

Imagine how impressive it would be if we had an administration that wasn't slowing down job growth in the private sector.

We've already seen Obama's plan in action, after near 4 years we're still sitting on the bottom.

It's a shame the Democrats melt down took the country down so far. The Republicans attempted to fix it, but the Democrats fought regulation the whole way.
 
Some more jobs numbers:

Job openings increased in May after plunging the prior month, easing concern the U.S. job market was faltering.

The number of positions waiting to be filled climbed by 195,000 to 3.64 million, partially countering the 294,000 drop seen in April, the Labor Department said today in Washington. Another report showed confidence among small companies slumped in June.

Increasing demand for workers indicates some companies see an opportunity to expand as sales improve. At the same time, the report showed firings also picked up, indicating the European debt crisis and slowing growth in emerging markets like China may be prompting some employers to cut back.
