Huh?
Just look at the numbers... They are horrible. Partisanship has nothing to do with it.
Positive job and GDP growth is not horrible.
We haven't progressed at all since the recession ended in 2009, in spite of the more than $800 billion stimulus Obama sold us.
My God, how can you possibly see Obama's economic policies as anything but the miserable failure they are?
How was the U.S. growing at a real rate of 3.1% in Q3 2012?
I have a deep understanding of political economy.
Tell the millions of people who are STILL out of work how great the economy is... Geez
WTF are you talking about? I never stated the economy is doing great. You stated the numbers are horrible; i was simply correcting you.
Is this not a thread about the state of employment?
They are trying this in Europe. Guess what?
Sure it can. They average $75K a year and we have binders full of them.

Whete does the money come from?
Stop making excuses Pete... What I stated is a FACT, which you obviously can't address,
Obama has done EVERYTHING under the sun to help stimulate the economy. Sorry to burst your bubble, but cutting government expenditures with persistent levels of high unemployment is the worst thing you can do.
Just so I understand. Those who don't work are not unemployed and the libs depend on the military to increase job growth. Got it.

Yes, and it does that by destroying jobs elsewhere. If I take a dollar from your pocket and put it in mine, I haven't created any wealth.

There are people who are employed and people who are unemployed. It is important to understand the distinction between the two before we break them down into different groups and categories. The reason for that is because when one gets too high and the other gets too low then the entire economy could be in jeopardy.

The recession by all technical terms ended in June 2009, roughly four months after the ARRA was signed into law. Unemployment, however continued to rise, peaked in October, and began to decline as the major chunks of ARRA funding was actually put into play the following year.I don't have a timeline in front of me, but my memory tells me that the recession officially ended a month or two after the stimulous bill was passed, unemployment started to recover a few months after that.
