No problem, I love 1.8% GDP growth, 6.2 trillion added to the debt, record numbers on food stamps, 1 in three Americans dependent on some form of taxpayer assistance, over a million discouraged workers. Yes, "your" President has been a huge economic success
Spent 35 years in the business world working in the U.S. economy. What is your experience?
Government controls their economy. That's what you want. Go China! :lamo
Oh, yeah, don't forget that Republicans want to starve kids and kill seniors too in addition to polluting the air. You buy the liberal spin and ignore the liberal results. Let the people of W. Va. decide on their coal producing plants and the people of Nebraska decide if they want the Keystone pipeline. Why should a bureaucrat in D.C. do that?
We will never know how many the Keystone Pipeline will create but if it is one it is one more than has been created now.
We asked the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition service for month-by-month figures going back to January 2001. And they show that under President George W. Bush the number of recipients rose by nearly 14.7 million. Nothing before comes close to that.
And under Obama, the increase so far has been 14.2 million. To be exact, the program has so far grown by 444,574 fewer recipients during Obama's time in office than during Bush's.
It's possible that when the figures for January 2012 are available they will show that the gain under Obama has matched or exceeded the gain under Bush. But not if the short-term trend continues. The number getting food stamps declined by 43,528 in October. And the economy has improved since then.
Update, Feb. 5: RevisedUSDA datareleased in February showed the downward trend continued for a second straight month in November, when the number of persons getting food stamps was 134,418 fewer than it had been at the peak.
Fact check: Gingrich's faulty food-stamp claim
sorry but the states need federal permission if they want to screw up their environments. you know those pesky EPA regulations.
and you still are not answering the questions i am asking you.
how many pipeline jobs are projected to be created by the keystone pipeline, do you have a guess?
and what regulations are hurting the coal mineing industry?
You really think this is a winning argument for you? Wow, I do feel sorry for you.
No, but then again, I don't think you're engaged in argument. I spelled out exactly what my argument is. Like always, you never addressed it. Never.
But, if you go back and actually read and understand it, feel free to address it. :coffeepap
I have addressed your argument many times, seems pointless to continue with you. You apparently don't have the ability to comprehend the difference between my opinion and experience vs yours.
but....but.....but Obama was hired to play the hand he was dealt and failed. His lack of leadership skills and the ability to even propose a pro growth economic policy is evidence that you voted for someone incompetent and lacking the experience for the job he was hired to do.
LoL you say the same silly talking points in every thread. "lack of leadership", this is something you whine about when you just want to complain. Obama tried to do all kinds of stuff but you guys won with obstructionism, congratulations.
LOL, yep, the people of Nebraska have no concerns over their environment but a bureaucrat in D.C. does. That is a brilliant argument. Why don't you ask D.C. for permission for everything you do?
What exactly did Obama ask for that he didn't get his first two years in office? He was given his Stimulus and Obamacare. Keep buying what the left tells you. One of these days you are going to realize that the liberal elite love having people like you that they can manipulate
Here we go again, percentage change, numbers of new recipients never about the number on the program or the fact that it is close to 50 million today. Let me know when Bush had 50 million non food stamps. Keep distorting the Bush record but Bush isn't in office now, Obama is and the results Obama has generated are the issue.
% change WTF are you talking about? Bush was setting record numbers as well In December 2008, SNAP/Food Stamp participation was 31,784,453 people, the highest participation level on record, and an increase of nearly 700,000 individuals from November 2008. Previously, SNAP/Food

The next phase of this pointless exchange with Conservative will involve him claiming everything was just fine under Bush then Obama ruined everything. Its quite an incredible narrative to witness.

It is really bizarre how he rationalizes his fantasies. He'll blame it on the 2 years of a Democratic controlled Congress I bet.
While actually about 2 - 3 minutes on a google search one can learn SNAP restrictions began to be lifted soon after Bush came into office.
why is it that some conservatives blame obama personally for all the problems in his administration, but blame the democrats in the house and senate for problems that occured in the bush administration?

its okay to admit that you don't know the answer.
you can prove me wrong by just answering my question.
How many jobs is the keystone pipline is projected to create?
What regulations are the coal companys objecting to?
What he only gets two years to fix thirty years of kicking the can? After that sabotage is ok?
You sound like a broken Fox News broadcast.
