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.
Was that supposed to be some weird attempt to make a .....point?
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.
But I get it, you are a negative, half-empty kind of guy.
