LOLOLAgain, lying con tool... the unemployment rate was already about 8% when the ARRA was passed.Lying con tool, you were the one to point out ARRA predicted a return to 6% unemployment. I was the one to point out it predicted that would happen in 2012 and that unemployment due to Bush's Great Recession turned out to be greater than the ARRA expected, resulting in it taking 2 extra years to get back down to 6%.Again, the unemployment rate was higher than the ARRA predicted (December, 2008), than when ARRA was passed (February, 2009). And they predicted it would drop to 6% in 2012 and that happened in 2014.
That's five years later, Faun! ARRA didn't make the unemployment rate drop to 6% five years after it was passed! Those unemployment numbers were driven by things like the energy boom...things that Barry not only didn't DO but actively opposed!
Once again...you clueless partisan hack! )) Obama and Pelosi assured us that the unemployment rate would rise above 8% if the ARRA wasn't approved but if it WAS then the unemployment rate would go down to 6% and do so quickly because of all the "shovel ready" jobs they were going to create!
So they got their money...did their stimulus package...and what happened? The unemployment rate went to over 10% and the whole "shovel ready" job thing never happened! That's what you progressives do to an economy when you're running things.
That earlier prediction was already out the window.
That earlier prediction was so clueless that it WAS already out the window when the ARRA was passed...just like the claims about "shovel ready" jobs was out the window by the end of the summer! Face it, Faun...you progressives just plain SUCK at creating jobs! It's just not your thing. You're good at buying votes. You need to give things to people to get them to support you.
Obama added 16 million jobs in his last 7 years.
Bush43 added 1 million jobs in 8 years.
Clinton added 23 million jobs in 8 years.
Bush41 added 3 million jobs in 4 years.
Reagan added 16 million jobs in 8 years.
Carter added 10 million jobs in 4 years.
Even deducting the 4 million jobs lost during Obama's first year after inheriting Bush's Great Recession, we still find over the last 6 presidents spanning 20 years of Democrats and 20 years of Republicans, we end up with...
Democrat ..... 45 million jobs
Republican ... 20 million jobs
Do you ever stop lying, ya lying con tool?
Ever???
