I am not calling you a liar. However, the saying goes "figures lie, and liars figure". The first class in Accounting we were asked, "How much is one and one?" The answer was whatever you want it to be.

Easing up the restrictions on Wall Street threw this country into the Great Recession. Dowd/Frank addresses the problems that caused the Great Recession, and the Republicans did everything they could to make sure Dowd/Frank couldn't be enforced. They didn't approve the first person to run the overseeing of Wall Street department of the government, which was Elizabeth Warren. How did that work out for them?

You act moving high paying production jobs overseas has nothing to do with employment, and the standard of living for working people. That hasn't occur from 2009 on. That has been in affect for decades.

What president policy has resulted in the increase in people on food stamps? Try as you may, the Republicans can't walk away from the policies implemented in "W's" term of office, that has a lot to do with what we are stuck with now. There is plenty of blame to go around for our present state, but the Republicans don't want to accept any part of it.
