More Jobs Might Be Created This Year Than During Bush's Presidency

Quote from trefoil:

Presidents since 1973:

Nixon (R) - 1973 - 74
Ford (R) - 1974 - 77
Carter (D) - 1977 - 1981
Reagan (R) - 1981 - 1989
Bush (R) - 1989 - 1993
Clinton (D) - 1993 - 2001
Bush the Unready (R) - 2001 - 2009
Obama (D) 2009 - present

That's 13 and a bit for the D's, 24 or so for the R's. Or, about twice as much time under R as under D.
So, the fact that inequality has increased mightily while the average person has sat still should come as no surprise. It's what the Republicans stand for, and they make no bones about it.
I keep seeing these posts from folks complaining about this increase in inequality, and how the average person is having a much tougher time now than they used to, and yet their answer is to do yet more stuff from the Republican playbook. Makes me wonder, a lot.

Funny how people see what they want to see through the lens of their political bias.

What I see is - the majority of Americans ain't got no friends in D.C. Period.

Whatever.
From 1933 to 1969, the Dems dominated, and the average person did well.
From that year until Obama's election, the Reps have dominated, and the average person didn't do well.
If you want to think that's some sort of coincidence even though what happened is exactly in line with Republican ideology, nothing is going to convince you.

Bush Sr had another son named Bush Jr.That apple fell far,far,far from the tree.

LOL .... in fact it fell so far away from the tree as to modify the famous Technical Analysis phrase ....

Price discounts everything known to man except for acts of God and George Bush

According to the St. Louis Federal Reserve, corporate profits hit $1.37 trillion in the first quarter—an all-time high. Businesses are sitting on about $2 trillion in cash reserves. Business spending jumped 20 percent last quarter, and is up by 13 percent against 2009.

Doesn't look anti-business when you compare actual numbers to right wing noise.

This from the one who accused someone of treason without even knowing what it meant.

Quote from Gabfly1:

You have a tendency to stretch the "truth" until it is no longer recognizable. For your benefit, I'd like to think you're kidding. But I know that you're not.

P.S. Gayfly, why don't you get a life and worry about problems in your own country?

Maybe Obama can go screw up Canada next. You like him so much, you can have him.
