Wow. Just imagine how bad it would have been had we not passed TARP, Stimulus I & II, Obamacare and extended unemployment benefits indefinately.
The so called job growth of February was mostly in the Obamacare. Just like fed jobs, these jobs are deficit jobs. Your tax dollars will pay for them.
Nobody is stupid enough to actually hire.
You never know if 0bama is going to confiscate your business.
Does this chart say that by the time Obama came into the Presidency, the fall had been going on for 24 months already, and it was -6% (i.e., just about the lowest point on the chart)?
That put most of this on the last 2 years of the Bush administration.
Blam....can you explain to me why the stock market shot up almost 200 points yesterday?
The propaganda claims it was job growth....oil went up yesterday too.
There has to be major manipulation going on in the market. It makes no sense at all.
This is measured from the peak. This is also a measurement of high that peak was.

Like all criminal enterprises, it exists for it's own success which has nothing to do with the precepts laid out in the Constitution.
It seeks control over all things in order to preserve itself and amass power and wealth to itself.
If it provides any benefits to the citizenry, they are the meagrest benefits possible designed only to placate that citizenry, knowing full well that it continues to exist mostly by coercion and fear. When those elements are overwhelmed by rage and need, the citizenry can certainly revolt and maim or destroy it.
So, it plays a game of providing just enough to keep those volatile impulses just below the reaction line where the people are not quite willing to jeopardize what little they have.
Never make the mistake of thinking that the Federal Government exists to serve the people.
