The recession is slowly receding, but it is not unavoidably doing so. Failure to come up with a budget agreement or overreacting to financial problems overseas could have horrible repercussions on our economy. Failure to deal with trading partners respectfully could result in trading embargoes effecting imports and exports. Continuing frosts and droughts can cause food prices to rise further taxing our economy. We are in a delicate place and we need that man and woman depicted in the toon to get to work and we need our legislators to work in a bipartisan manner with who ever is in office to bring this country back to where it should be. This can only happen if they take your advice and act with caution, restraint, and most of all….clear thinking.Respectfully,C.
Fortunately, he’s been able to bring unemployment down despite GOP obstruction. Imagine if we didn’t have a tea party blocking infrastructure, jobs, the military, and education!
@ARodney I presume mean tea party obstructing from obama’s cutting infrastructure, jobs and military further. After all that big stimulus project for infrastructure (which only 2% went to infrastructure) was no use to anyone but the puppet theater’s and loopy idea factories heaven forbid they actually fix roads (might scratch a bird) make a dam, or heaven forbid a new powerplant or 20 to keep us from brown outs (using nuclear which is the safest and cleanest option currently)… just saying
Republicans campaigned on job creation and won control of the House in 2010. And in these last 2 years, they put most of their effort into right-wing social issues, not jobs. And they have the nerve to criticize Obama. No wonder their approval rating is 11%.
the Bureau of Labor website gives the U-6 measurement that counts all the unemployed who are getting benefits, who are out of benefits and out of the U-3 workforce total and those who have part-time jobs because full-time jobs are not available….that number is 14.7% unemployment. U-6.-Obama’s White House pays women lower salaries than men and many women Obama hired then left for better jobs with better pay. What a Hypocrite Obama is. He scored high with Liberal Media when he slammed Romney for “having a bigger pension” but the fact is that Obama has a bigger pension than Romney without counting Illinois state’s pension….and he has his retirement accounts in a bling trust, also, and Obama is as much “invested in China” as is Romney. Liar Liar Obama!
zfacts, ladies and gentlemen:— • Obama’s stimulus worked fast lay-offs were slowed in anticipation of stimuls funds. The bill was signed in only 4 weeks. The graph shows what happened. • It took just 13 months for Obama to stop the job losses running at 10 million a year. Compare that to 21 months for G.W. Bush, to stop the job losses running at only 4 million/year in 2001. • Over 5.2 million jobs have been added since Obama stopped the losses (3/10 – 9/12). This brought the unemployment rate down from 10% to 7.8%.—As Samuel L. Jackson says, we need to wake the flock up.
