on an average it takes 10 years to get out of a shallow depression and the Government spending a lot of money, We have never got out of a depression ( or a super deep recession) with out going into a major war, like WWII.
Yes this has not been a super strong recovery but when you have a Republican controlled congress that will stop anything you want to get done and make you a one term President you aren't going to have a super strong recovery.
and if you look back the Stock market didn't fully recover back to where it was before the Depression for over 10 years, and the market went down to something like 5800 in March of 2009 and it is what now?
17000's and in way less then 10 years.
You say we have doubled the public debt, I don't see it , please post your source.
As for the National debt, everybody is saying Obama has doubled the debt
well IF he had we would have a debt of OVER 23.3 Trillion seeing W left a debt of 11.657 Trillion
US Debt by President: By Dollar and Percent
Reagan and W were the ONLY two Presidents to have doubled the debt, and ran it up more then all their predecessors combined.
Reagan took it from 998 Billion to 2,8 Trillion ( 188% )
W took it from 5.808 Trillion and added 5.849 trillion ( 101% )up to 11.657 Trillion
Jobs W LOST jobs over the 8 years he was in and Obama has an increase of over 9 million jobs
I believe there are more poor insured now then before Obama |
Your information is wrong about jobs lost DURING Bush's term. And the other part about Obama creating jobs is ludicrous.
Gov employees now = 23,677,594
Gov employees 2008 = 4,185,360
Obama's job creation is gov jobs that produce NOTHING and only cost the tax payer.
The US work force is smaller today than it was in 2000.
There are over 94 million not in the labor force today.
There has not been a year of 3% GDP growth during Obama's tenure as president. That is the worst in presidential history.
When bragging about your choice, you should have something good to support your view. Something valid, backed by statistics to prove what you say.
By the way, a couple good sources are the U.S. National Debt clock and TreasuryDirect.gov.
