The stimulus saved us from another Great Depression.
The GDP growth and the jobs growth show that.
It is you that is changing the subject.
This is the tragic side of the stalled Papa Obama recovery people are losing hope.
If labor force size was same as Oct., U-3 unemployment rate would be 8.9%; same as when Obama took office, 11%. Eleven percent.
Gallup
Reducing Unemployment by Shrinking the American Workforce
Normally, this sharp drop in unemployment -- whether measured before or after seasonal adjustment -- would be very good news, a sign that the U.S. economy is improving at a faster pace than generally recognized. Instead, a careful look at the government's data shows something else -- the decline in the unemployment rate was largely due to a sharp decline in the size of the U.S. workforce.
Truth is hard for the Left
In fact, it is there worst enemy
They've been shuffling numbers around to paint a rosy picture. Next you will see unemployment rise significantly and the left will be out saying that's okay because it was caused by the labor force growing and the economy is strong.
Want to bet?
The US economy did not recover from the Great Depression until AFTER WWII was completed.GDP grew those four years, but it was from the bottom of the great depression and unemployment was still roughly 20%.
Unemployment fell from 25% (using modern calculations) to 16.5%, and we experienced the most rapid growth on record. In other words, unemployment fell by a 1/3rd or 9 points as part of the a record expansion....
and conservatives interpret that as "prolonging the Depression". No wonder they are so confused about the last 6 quarters of growth.
We slipped back into contraction in 1937 when the artificial stimulus dissipated. It wasn't until the onset of World War 2 that the Depression was over.
You just can't stand that our economy is improving.
The next year is going to be very tough for you.

You call that a response? Would be nice if you would put as much effort in to arguing real points as you do crying about perceived personal attacks against you, or is that beyond your capacity?

The stimulus stopped the deflationary spiral and created growth.
The Left was always bad with history
To be fair, you can't blame
The Left has so many failures that they want to forget
GDP has been growing since 2009.
The stock market has doubled since 2009.
Americans net worth is up $9 trillion dollars since 2009.
Americans paid off $1 trillion dollars of personal debt in the last few years.
We are leaving Iraq, which will save us billions.
We are leaving Afghanistan in 2014, which will save us billions.
Auto sales are up 13.9%,
Pending home sales are up 10%,
Retail sales are up 16%
And unemployment is down.
The economy is getting better and better.
Too bad you can't handle the truth.
The stock market has doubled since 2009.
No it hasn't.
Americans paid off $1 trillion dollars of personal debt in the last few years.
At least you stopped claiming this occurred over the last year.
And unemployment is down.
Still above the level when he took office.
Still above the 8% we were promised it would remain below, if only the stimulus passed.
The economy is getting better and better.
Not enough to save your Zero.
Stock market ....6443.27 on March 6, 2009, high for 2011 is 12,876.
It has doubled since 2009.
Unemployment was over 10% in 2009, it's now down to 8.6%
It has gone down.
Why are you lying?

He didn't take office on March 6, 2009. It was 8077 when he took office. It's now 12019.
Up less than 50%.
Unemployment was over 10% in 2009, it's now down to 8.6%
Down to 8.6%? They said it wouldn't go over 8%, if the stimulus was passed.
Why are you so bad at math?
Are you lying or just stupid?

waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!the us economy did not recover from the great depression until after wwii was completed.we slipped back into contraction in 1937 when the artificial stimulus dissipated. It wasn't until the onset of world war 2 that the depression was over.
i guess that's the answer then... We need to start wwiii and destroy all of our competition so we can thrive again.... Right? Oh...wait.... That would be wrong, wouldn't it?
Ok, how about this... We end our affiliation with communist china and all the rest of the slave labor countries across the globe, bring the jobs back here, and start paying real wages again...so that people can afford to buy gadgets without going into debt, pay their brand new cars off in two or three years instead of 5-7, and pay their mortgages in 10-15 instead of 25-30.
Oh... Wait... That would cut into the massive profits of the traitorous american conglomerate and might make the obscenely rich merely very wealthy. Oh wait... They earned that money by fucking over the american workforce, didn't they? Didn't they????

Another bump for a failed stimulus and the wonder-myths it created.

I love the idea that wasteful government spending, spread out over 3 years, totalling about 5% of a single years GDP, is the only thing that kept us from the abyss.
