It has been on life support and given the appearance of normalcy by ping out of work Americans with massive spending of borrowed money.
Obama has covered up hiss inability to turn the economy around with massive borrowing to fund welfare spending to provide a false mens of normalcy. Fifty cents of every dollar our Federal government has spent since Obama was elected and the Democrats took control of Congress has been borrowed.
Instead of seeing the soup lines of the great depression, we see the Walmart checkout lines of unemployed, welfare dependent people buying things with EBT cards.
The real unemployment rate has been close to the Great Depression peak for most of Obama’s Presidency and unemployment was actually lower in much of the Great Depression that has been under Obama.
FDR actually tried to get jobs to get people working while Obama has concentrated on getting people permanently hooked on welfare.
The left will claim the economy is wonderful until Jan 2017 when a GOP president is sworn in.
Then, suddenly, the media will claim :
1) homelessness is an issue
2) people are starving,
3) the economy is tanking
4) jobs are disappearing
5) middle class wages are stagnating
Why does FOX keep proving NPR correct? Juan is only a data point for Affirmative Action, something which has become a main requirement for FOX!
If Obama showed up at Juan’s door, beat him with a club, but Ed his house down and peed on the lawn, Juan would appear on FoxNews the next day citing the fact that his stitches and bandages were a great sign of the benefits of ObamaCare, the new house he was building to replace the burnt one was a sign that housing starts were roaring back and that the pee on his lawn was due to the fact global warming made it necessary to use urine to water the grass.
