HOUSEHOLD DATAMaybe for you. I still make 100k a year.no one believes any figures given to us by Obama,,,,didnt obama recently claim that the economy is booming? how is 38,000 new jobs a booming economy? were they fast food jobs?Ah, no there not. The way they count was changed under Clinton.It is embarrassing to read idiots like you that constantly repeat that lie. Sixteen year old high school students, college students, people on disability, retired people, or mothers that stay at home. The employment figures are done the same way now as they were during Bush's terms.over 90 million people out of work? how embarrassing,,,,why didnt Hillary bring it up,,,,yup,,,thats at least 20 % !
This is about halfway through President Obama's last year in his second term. And things are looking good. Are you trying to say that the Dow numbers are false? The unemployment is figured the same way as it was during Bush's two terms. And it is currently at 4.7%.
