On the current recovery... sure... it is way better than it was under Bush or would have been under Palin.. I mean the senile McCain.
As for partisan mouth foaming.. look at the other conservative posts.. that is your partisan mouth foaming.. mine is factual.
are you basing that on a learned understanding of economic reality or based on a blind devotion to leftwing babble?
He is doing better under Obama-he doesn't live in the USA and America's decline is the eurosocialists' gain
9.6% unemployment means we're doing better than we were when unemployment was at 4%?
Take a break. Carrying all that water must be exhausting.
Ironic, since it was the lack of government that got you into the ****hole you are in now.. ahh the irony of American conservative economic thinking!
American conservative thinking = lets **** up the economy with lazzie-faire policies so our friends can get rich, and then to fix the problem... do more of the same!
I try and stay out of economic threads but it is a mystery to me how this is a success in any way
Quite simply, it is a success because Obama's Czar's choose this as the truthspeak for this Month.

I can't speak for every American, but I believe I speak for the vast majority when I say that your characterization of "what Americans like to think" is ridiculous.As much as the Americans like to think that they're the only gem of purity and goodness in the world, and that every other country on the face of the earth ought to either grovel or stay out of America's way,
It's not a real title, more a nickname given to someone with the responsibility to manage or supervise an administration policy. I suppose it's supposed to connote some degree of independence and power, and it just plain sounds better to say "climate czar" than "special assistant to the President for matters concerning energy and climate change."But right now, I'm more interested in the etymology of the word "Czar" as some sort of business magnate -- any idea where it originated or what exactly it's supposed to mean? It's not in common parlance over here.
Jobs recovery is stronger than past recessions - Sep. 2, 2010
Also from the article:
Now I would like to ask the folks out there in the audience this question:
If a second stimulus is needed to avoid a secondary and possibly more severe recession, would you be in favour of it?
Although the question is irrelevent as the White House has said there will be no second stimulus.
I think many people out there seriously underestimate just how severe this recession is, and that there is no magic fix for it.
Certainly not. Given the first stimulus failed, such a scenario where a 2nd stiumulus is needed is absurd. There's no scenario where I'd be in favor of a 2nd scenario.Now I would like to ask the folks out there in the audience this question:

Someone there finally has learned the difference between **** and shineola.Although the question is irrelevent as the White House has said there will be no second stimulus.
Magic like "stimulus"? I'd agree. What would be nice is for the White House to stop avoiding jobs and actually address it in something other than more jibba-jabba. But then again, this White House has shown little to no competence on most subjects so perhaps the fix is for Congress and the White House to go play golf for the next few years.think many people out there seriously underestimate just how severe this recession is, and that there is no magic fix for it.
Of course it is an understanding of economic reality.
Tell me, when has the conservative thinking of economic lazzie-faire ever worked? By worked I mean, created economic growth, jobs and a surplus... in the last 30 years.. NEVER. Hence the economic thinking is flawed on so many levels.

Recovering nicely?
Employment Situation Summary
283,000 jobs lost this summer. You call that "recovery"? :lamo
A budget surplus is not a prerequisite for a robust economy. Most economists will tell you that running low budget deficits as a percentage of the GDP, is not a problem. The early 80's through 2007 was one of the most, if not the most prosperous periods in US history. The only real hiccup was between the attacks of 9/11/2001 and the summer of 2003. Over that 20+ year period, unemployment was low, economic growth was strong, and the stock market was booming. During those years, we only ran a budget surplus 4 times.
The economic policies of both Reagan and Bush Jr brought us out of recessions, created jobs and returned America to economic growth. Reagan laid the groundwork for 2 decades of American prosperity, and Bush's policies resulted in the most consecutive months of positive job creation in American history. If Bush would have been more of a fiscal conservative instead of spending like a democrat, He would have likely had a surplus in 2007.
If a second stimulus is needed to avoid a secondary and possibly more severe recession, would you be in favour of it?
I really detest agreeing with a European. We have to re-invent again and strike a better balance between structured capitalism and socialism. But not too much socialism. Such things make high unemployment numbers the norm.
Should ask the same question about the jobs "created or saved" this summer.How many of these jobs were part time or census based?
Ironic, since it was the lack of government that got you into the ****hole you are in now.. ahh the irony of American conservative economic thinking!
That's absolutely right.
The best balance between capitalism and socialism is 100% capitalism, 0% socialism.
We should try it some time. Every time we get closer to real capitalism, the economy does better.
