He may not have caused it but unless I am reading it wrong, Obama isn't exactly helping things either. I see one drop in the entirety of that upward trend then it's right back into up mode.
By the results shown on the chart unemployment has risen soooooo? hmmmm....yeeeeaaaaaahhhhhhhh. How is it not proof again? QUOTE:",you making yourself like stupid" yeaaaaaahhhhhh Who looks stupid? Can you say that again but in correct english please. Thanks buddy.
With sycophantic loyalty from a republican Congress, you mean. Isn't your portfolio rocking? I've gotten back most of my market losses from last year. So business stimulus is working, housing is improving, and state governments have not gone bankrupt. Employment is lagging, but it's been less than a year. Patience. Sneak? How more open can he get. Right now there are five different health bills and they are not all Obama's. Bush passed a Trillion dollar health bill in the Medicare Prescription Plan and left it unfunded to be paid for by borrowing. Obama's plan at least identifies how it will be paid for. It WILL reduce carbon emissions, that's not impossible at all. It worked with reducing sulphur emissions 20 years ago. Sat on his hands? McChrystal and the pentagon and Obama have been all over the Afghanistan question and its waiting for one thing--to see if the corrupt, self-serving, and problematic Karzai remains in office. What we do next depends greatly on what kind of government we are dealing with in Afghanistan. Obama sent more troop to Afghanistan early on and stepped up the missile attacks on Al Qaida in Pakistan. Don't be delusional, Rush. :insane: The GOP has been granted concession after concession and it has only gained them one vote so far. But concessions without won't go on forever without some cooperation. I certainly do.
Look at all that money being spent and unemployment is still rising. hmmmmmmm. I would like to give thanks to baby Nobel Prize winning President Berry Obama. Thanks for the great economy, thanks for not sending more troops like you promised, thanks for giving money away to middle eastern counties, thanks for paying for over seas abortions, THANK YOU Mister President of The Good Ole United States of America, Thank you!
so what was obama wrong about? how high unemployment would go without stimulus or how high it would go with the stimulus? it seems obvious that he underestimated how bad it would be (unless you think that the stimulus increased unemployment). so what? so he cant predict the future. at least he didnt predict an obvious overestimate of unemployment in 2009-10 without stimulus just to make himself look better. no one will ever know the effect of the stimulus. but it does seem premature to say much about it either way. there is still a big chunk of it to spend and there will be a significant lag between when it is spent and when it has an effect. besides, looks like your graph may indicate a plateau. we'll see.
