What is the source of this? I think it's moronic to claim it was all because of Obama, but there is no doubt that some industries have not yet recovered - the legal industry, for instance. This is pretty much the worst time to become a lawyer or enter the industry ... ever.

Things are still not as they were.


With that being said, I should make clear that I think the Republican plans for the federal budget and spending would be dangerous in decreasing aggregate demand and possibly pushing us back into recession like in Britain, where the gov't there embarked on a serious plan to cut spending, as the Republicans here want to do, but on a massively larger scale. It has kept interest rates low on bonds, but has also meant that growth has been pitiful.

The author and creator of the chart is Michael Linden, private_sector_jobs.html, based on Bureau of Labor Statistics.



Well there ya go. Statistics from the very government that Obama is in charge of, at the moment! Enough said!

1) The Republicans screw up the economy.
2) Fed up with Republicans, Americans elect Democrats to fix the economy.
3) Republicans blame Democrats for not cleaning up the Republican mess quickly enough.
4) Democrats eventually fix the economy. Republicans ignore the recovery, and run on abortion, guns and gay marriage.
5) Americans forget how bad the economy was and who caused it. They elect Republicans again.

Repeat at step 1 ...

The Republicans had nothing to do with the housing bubble, which was created by Democrats (specifically Clinton and Obama before he became president). They also had nothing to do with 9/11, which caused the economy to tank. Democrats have been in charge since 2006, so you can;t keep blaming the GOP for all the problems created by Democrats.

Your problem is watching too much MSM, which seems dedicated to keeping Democrats elected and Republicans out of office. It's also pretty hilarious how ATS members so willingly accept propaganda when it's pro-Democrats propaganda. This chart comes from a site that's pretty clearly biased in favor of Obama's re-election.

Every "bad' mortgage was issued while a Republican was in the White House. How many CDO's that are being challenged were created after 2008 or before 2001? None. The facts completely go against your assertion. I believe the chart to be valid. There are as many Americans working in the private sector as when Obama was elected. That doesn't mean however that the jobs are as good as the ones they replaced still that doesn't mean the chart is a lie.

According to the BLS these do not include farm jobs. Again, the sources for the figures are the Bureau of Labor Statistics, May 4 2012, and as mentioned in the charts "seasonally adjusted".

Gas prices peaked under Bush. The only thing that caused it to drop was the economic collapse.

And do you think Republicans will improve that? They want to eliminate the Minimum Wage, slash benefits and shift the tax burden even further onto the working class. You're now competing in a labor force that includes near-slave wages from China, India, and Mexico. Republicans are trying to push through a "territorial tax" in the Ryan budget that would cause a massive move to outsource jobs since it rewards companies to shift their 'profits' to offshore locales;
Another idea that Ryan’s budget borrows from Camp’s proposal is the introduction of a “territorial” tax system, which is a euphemism for exempting the offshore profits of U.S. corporations from the corporate income tax.

A territorial system would increase the existing incentives for U.S. corporations to move their operations offshore or use accounting gimmicks to make their U.S. profits appear to be “foreign” profits generated in offshore tax havens.


The GOP has done everything in it's power to suppress wages, and hinder job growth in America. They are at this point seeking only to reward the wealthiest of the wealthy.

How many crap charts do you guys have? I suppose this is the highest price of gas in the nation under Bush (somewhere in the desert or an island) compared to the lowest price in the nation under Obama (next door to a refinery)?

You act as though we haven't been buying gas two and three times a week every week for the last 4 years and having to budget for $3 and $4 gas under Obama. We didn't do that prior to Obama. Gas prices were never that high under Bush here except when a major pipeline burst and everyone started panic buying like it was the end of the world and gas stations started price gouging.

The gas prices under Obama were never that low for us and I don't remember the stated goal of the energy department under Bush to push gas prices over $8.00 a gallon. I don't remember Bush warning us that under his administration that prices would "necessarily skyrocket".

Again, you can't get away with this. Maybe you can peddle these lies to someone overseas but you cannot persuade us to forget the past 4 years. I wish I had a video recording of where I lived in 2008 compared to 2012. Its quite depressing.

Funny propaganda headline, what a load of B.S!

Secretary of Labor Elaine Chao

"America could be headed toward another Great Depression unless youth unemployment rates are drastically improved"

Here is a chart for you. How do you explain this?
