Doesn't everyone wish the recession had not happened?Of course it has, but it needs repeating as those on the left wish it never existed.
See now, you told me you understood what GDP means, now you are back misunderstanding it.To your point employment is a lagging indicator, with a current 1.5% GDP that would suggest the unemployment rate is going up not down.
You are contradicting yourself, just a moment ago you understood that unemployment is lagging, so it is not a "period".I look at the facts as history will show, which is what happens on a president's watch is his/hers. Period. I look at all presidents in that way as statistics will show. Such things like Obama was the first president to have our credit downgraded, Obama was the first president to increase the national debt over 1 Trillion in each yr of his first and only term. Obama is the first president to have unemployment over 8% for over 41 months and counting. You know stuff like that.

He is also the 1st President to inherit a economy that was shedding jobs at a rate of 700,000 a month. Making up losses like that takes time. Obama has created 4.5 million jobs in the last 29 months and 1.5 million this year alone. You know stuff like that.
It is interesting that you are concerned about them now, since previously you said you would not hire a long-term unemployed discouraged worker. Now....you want to count them. Wonders never cease.Last month there were 850,000 discouraged workers, are those workers unemployed? The difference between what he inherited and what is now is terminology. Bush never had 850,000 discouraged workers, ever. Obama has averaged double Bush in discouraged workers so adding discouraged workers to the unemployment numbers make the results the same. You continue to buy the rhetoric and ignore the reality.

The job loss is coming from the public sector. Something you want, smaller government. The job growth is in the private sector, also something you want. So under Obama. you're getting what you thinkis best. Right?

9000 jobs were lost in the public sector last month. Doesn't change the 23 million unemployed/under employed or the 850,000 discouraged workers.

Don't leap all around. The growth is in the private sector and the losses in the public sector. Isn't this what you want? Recoveries take time, and when you shrink government, adding to the unemployed numbers, it takes more time. But, it is what you want, correct?
You posted them .....because you don't care about them.....not enough to hire one....huh?That is why I posted ....
What is it about Obama and his policis that create the kind of loyalty you have? If any Republican had these numbers you would be outraged. It is over 3 years since the end of the recession but apparently that isn't enough time for you. Wonder why?
But it does "change" it, and where are you getting "23 million"?9000 jobs were lost in the public sector last month. Doesn't change the 23 million unemployed/under employed or the 850,000 discouraged workers.
You think the rich are intentionally keeping unemployment rates and gas prices high in order to throw the election to Romney? Huh.
You posted them .....because you don't care about them.....not enough to hire one....huh?
This thread isn't about Obama. It's about the unemployment rate. I asked you a very simple question. I think you're scared to answer it. So, let's try again: The job loss is coming from the public sector. Something you want, smaller government. The job growth is in the private sector, also something you want. So under Obama. you're getting what you thinkis best. Right?
There is no doubt
The private sector isn't creating the jobs necessary to keep up with population growth and won't until Obama is fired. cutting the public sector is the right thing to do, states are doing it because they have to balance their budget, Obama isn't doing much of that at the Federal Level and you should know that
They have a huge task. But that dodges my question. Again: The job loss is coming from the public sector. Something you want, smaller government. The job growth is in the private sector, also something you want. So under Obama. you're getting what you thinkis best. Right?
You are right...I can only go by what you told me.Let's try to stay on topic, You have no concept of what I did or didn't do when I ran my business. Just another attempt on your part to divert from the Obama record.

what about bush and romney makes you a mindless republican puppet incapable of independent thought?
