no. I would point out that the "rising employment numbers" weren't even enough to cover the growth in our population during that time period, but that they have rather been "seasonally adjusted" to give a better impression than reality - and then i would advise him that he would be better off if he found a stronger argument before he took it somewhere it could get picked apart.
if i was talking to Catawaba, however, I would point out that this "recovery" sucks. the Bush/Obama keyensian stimulus plans utterly failed us, despite the absolute gobs of money we spent, we got bupkis.
what would have happened if Bush and Obama hadn't taken us down this road?
Had the U.S. economy recovered from the current recession the way it bounced back from the other 10 recessions since World War II, our per-capita gross domestic product (GDP) would be $3,553 higher than it is today, and 11.9 million more Americans would be employed.
oh.
let's face it: the last two administrations have sucked when it came to the economy.
