I think they are punishing the country for voting in a black president.The U.S. economy added 292,000 jobs in December, well ahead of expectations, capping off the second best year of gains since 1999.
The 5.75 million jobs created in the past two years represent the best streak for the labor market since the late 1990s.
The economy has added jobs for 63 straight months and appears on track to maintain that momentum in 2016, with some economists expecting that full employment will be reached by mid-year.
Jason Furman, chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers, said the annual average unemployment rate has seen its fastest two-year decline in 30 years.
Furman noted that the private sector has added 14.1 million jobs over 70 straight months, extending the longest streak on record.
From the GOP:
House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Kevin Brady (R-Texas) said that “while this report is better than expected, millions of more Americans would be working today if the Obama administration had spent less time growing Washington and more time growing our local economy.”
"If President Obama wants to make a real difference during his last year in office, he’ll use his final State of the Union address to propose new ways to break down barriers to job creation and encourage economic growth,” he said.

Republicans held both houses and the majority of the Supreme Court for nearly 5 years under Bush and that's what those *holes say? What have they done to help the president. People who vote those goons into office get what they deserve. Why punish the rest of us?
Republicans have been sitting on the Obama Jobs Bill that provides billions for infrastructure improvement for five years now
They are more interested in repealing Obamacare
And the country rewarded them with the house and senate.
