Stimulus II...
What exactly did Obama want that he didn't get his first two years in office that would have created a better economy? The results are what they are yet you keep ignoring them.
No it has not. The net job losses are a result of the worst economic downturn since 1929.
I am suggesting that he is cooking the books. What do you think?are you suggesting that Obama is counting the unemployed in a way different than Schrub, Clinton, Bush, or Reagan did?
That is your opinion doesn't look like you lived during the 81-82 recession as you ignore the impact on the American people with its 19.33 misery index but that is for another thread
That is this year, do you even know what is in stimulus two? Who pays for the jobs created under stimulus two when the Federal Money runs out?
I see will continu to skip the point, it doesn't matter whether he got everything he asked for or didn't as he does not control the economy. Even if he had gotten Stimulus II he would not have been able to control the economy.
Interest rates are @ all time lows! Clearly the credit markets have an entirely different position (and they are actually putting their money where their mouth is). Stimulus II needs to be @ 7% GDP to have a meaningful impact.
People here blame Bush for what they call the worst downturn since the Great Depression, most not old enough to know about the 81-82 recession.
That is good for you. I do not believe I am atypical.my 401k increased during the Great Recession. about 30%

I did and I agree with him.
Low interest rates benefit the American consumer much better than in 81-82 thus making that recession worse on the American people.
What a shock, you agree with him? Liberals are like a pack of wolves.
A misery index does not define the relative scope of an economic down turn. In 1932, the misery index would have been in the lower teens (unemployment near 20%, inflation @ -10%).
Cool. But that is not the case here. With the destruction of NASA and the elimination of many defense programs houses all around mine began selling at a discount.That's because the price of houses was artificially inflated due to the creative mortgages that allowed people to buy houses that they couldn't afford.

The misery index indicates the affect on the American consumer and it was worse in the 80's than it was when Obama took office
I am talking the cost of borrowing for the government. Clearly, the private sector does not sheer your point of view (see europe).
What was the misery index during the 1930's?
a competent and functional Congress.
Don't have to look at Europe, just follow what Obama is trying to do here. Europe is on fire and arrogant liberals want that misery equally here
a competent and functional Congress.
So? This is irrelevant to the discussion (let alone my actual statement in which you quoted).
