Anyone who thinks the current economic downturn in the US is at the hands of just one party is a buffoon of partisan proportions.

The US economy has been running on one bubble or another since the mid 90's. Never-ending economic expansion has an end. We reached it in about 96. Everything since then has been based on bubble speculation like the dotcom market under clinton or the housing bubble under bush. Thsi wont change under Romney. Heck, even if Paul were elected, his policies would largely destroy what is left of the us economy. There is no solution.

All we have to do is remove the - uncertainty - placed in the US economy by Obama.
- Repeal ObamaCare
- Repeal Dodd/Frank
- Drill - Baby - Drill........lower the price of gas to $2 a gallon
If we do those 3 things you will see the unemployment rate mysteriously fall to
4%.

Do you actually believe that partisan tripe? 4% it hasnt been that low since 2000. Why wasnt the previous administration able to see those numbers without dodd frank or obamacre?

The June Jobs Report was dismal enough. The top-line job growth number missed even the low end of expectations and the overall unemployment remained unchanged. But, tucked away in the report was a more ominous sign. Almost one-third of the jobs that were created were at temporary employment firms.
BLS reported that Business and Professional Services created 47k jobs in June, almost 6-in-10 of the total jobs created. Over half of these, though, 25k, were at temporary employment firms. This means that almost one-third of the jobs created were are temp agencies, a clear sign that employers remain hesitant about expanding their payrolls.
This isn't a knock on temp agencies. They provide an invaluable service, allowing companies to be flexible and quickly adapt to changing markets. But, the sharp growth in their business suggest that businesses will explore every option before committing to additional hiring.
One-Third of June Jobs in Temp Agencies

You sir, are a bald faced liar.
As that chart clearly shows, unemployment in 06 was 4.4%, not 4%. With a nation of 300 million people, thats a HUGE discrepancy. You stated that repealing dodd frank and obamacare would lower unemployment to 4%, but Bush was never able to acheive that in his ENTIRE PRESIDENCY without either of those laws. So stop blaming Obama for a systemic problem that exited previous to his administration. It's partisan stupidity to pretend one party is different from the other.

Well they almost did.
Even with the financial disaster from 9-11.
Maybe those tax cut packages helped (before the Democrats took Congress away starting in 2007)

4.4% is in the ballpark.
It's a lot better than 8.2% under Obama.

We'll bring it down to a nice even 4.0 % for you in 2013 when President Mitt Romney
moves into the White House.
