...who can forget the relentless attacks on the “Worst Economy Since Herbert Hoover” in 2006... when the unemployment rate was 4.8%?

LOL - the New York Times, Washington Post, Chicago Tribune, LA Times, ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN .... et al can 'forget' - odd how easy it is for them... must be the bias - or hatred.

Auto sales were a major component of positive sales data earlier this year. But the increased auto sales were not due to Obama-induced prosperity and income growth; they were the result of scrappage over the past 4 years and the high price of used cars, which was in turn influenced by the destruction of the used car fleet as the “cash for clunkers” program destroyed older but still functional used cars.

Amazing, isn't it? That's all down the rabbit hole.

Good news for Iceland . . .

Iceland Has Hired An Ex-Cop To Hunt Down The Bankers That Wrecked Its Economy !

Too bad that our corrupt politicos and especially 0 are not thinking this same way

The economy is expanding too slowly to lower the unemployment rate, which stayed at 8.2 percent in June.

So let's go back to welfare as we used to know it and get some of the unemployed out of the workforce!!

Heh! You must be a youngster. Who can forget Clinton’s constant drumbeat in 1992 (when the economy was growing at 3.7 percent)...”the worst economy in 50 years.”

I correct myself... GDP growth during the four quarters of 1992 was 4.5%, 4.3%, 4.2%, and 4.3%!

“Worst economy in 50 years” — the MSM pushed it relentlessly and never questioned it. People swallowed it hook, line and sinker. Never underestimate the stupidity of the US electorate.
