[ So where is the economy now, in relationship to them? The short answer is, we think it's close. The economy has come a long way since the financial crisis. As you know, the crisis marked the start of a very deep recession. It destroyed nearly 9 million jobs, and it's been a long, slow slog to recover from it. Unemployment peaked at 10 percent late in 2009, a level unseen for more than 25 years, and didn't move below 8 percent for nearly three years. ]

Lies. There hasn't ever been any "recovery". There are more part time jobs now, thanks in large part to Obamacare. Not that I expected anything of value from her nor her predecessor anyways.

Do you really believe the economy is functioning at the same level as it was in mid 2008? I’d love to see a defense of that point of view.

95 million people out of work. 30 hour per week jobs. No housing market to speak of. Some recovery.
