Obama is now the greatest job creating president in US history he has a record 78 straight months of job growth. Some 15 million jobs since 2010 and stopped job loses in his first year of losing 850,000 jobs a month and unemployment rising to 10%. These are little known facts that the right wing fails to even talk about. The left has demolished every republican myth told about tax and spend democrats but have been exposed the right wing agenda of borrow and spend. But according to republicans none of this ever happened.

But the GOP continues with there statements to getting big government out of the way which only means cutting taxes on large corporation and the upper 1% wage earners while doing nothing for the middle class, small business, and the poor. But there continuing agenda of making the rest of this country pay there way while the right wing continues their agenda of sending jobs overseas and hide there profits in Off-Shore accounts. The GOP ignores the proven myth that trickle down does not work, but they never stop trying. The right wing agenda of obstruction has prevented Obama from fixing these problems. Now the right is using talking points that this problem was created by Obama and hide there obstruction agenda.

What gets lost is real facts that if the right wing bothered to research democratic presidents have easily out performed republican presidents in job creation. Even Jimmy Carter has outperformed Reagan Bush and Bush and the right wing classifies Carter as the worst president in History.

Even while Obama was creating jobs republicans were trying to kill jobs. All the republicans have done is obstruct Obama progress on job creation, immigration reform, and tax reform since 2009.

Red state after red state is being destroyed by the same economic policies of trickle down economics policies that don't work. The GOP still has not learned.

It time to learn that republicans create these budget crisis driven by religion to deny low income women access to cancer screening and reproductive health services. Republicans could care less and this is just one dirty little secret to hide there manufactured budget crisis and their favorite of threats to shut down the government.

The GOP other dirty little lie of wanting to cut regulations to promote affordable American energy, which most democrats agree but the GOP will not tell you what they want to cut. The only regulations I can find is dropping regulations on overtime pay, and less government regulations on retirement programs.

We listen to right wing talking points of the slowest economical recovery since the Great Depression. But republicans hide from the fact they created the recession and obstructed every bill to fix the economy and I have asked every low information right wing haters on OPP to show me one bill created or sponsored on the right to create jobs, address debt and deficit, poor or middle class or small business and all I get is insults and no facts.

Good grief, the greatest job creators are the private businesses that are not taxed past their eyeballs and regulated out of existence. The only role the POTUS plays in creating jobs is to start cutting taxes and get the f*ck out of the way and let the American people do what they do best.

The Preamble to the Constitution states its purpose very clearly; "to PROMOTE the general welfare" and "to PROVIDE for the common defense." Obama has done neither, he has PROVIDED welfare for all the slackers and for illegal immigrants and has nearly destroyed our defense capability.

I am beginning to believe that liberals are proof that some species of humans really did descend from apes. The only difference is that apes have managed to at least maintain their levels of intelligence, whereas liberals have somehow fallen into retrograde mental development. Devolution, I think they call it. They are getting close to the end of the road. There is a rock in my back yard that is smarter than most of them.



IBD: How Good Is Job Growth? The Chart Obama Doesn’t Want You To See

The longest streak of private-sector job growth on record

U.S. businesses have now added 14.4 million jobs over 73 straight months

The labor force participation rate rose to 63% in March, the same level as in November 2013!

All those quotes -- minus the exclamation points -- came from White House top economist Jason Furman. And they are all accurate.

What's missing, however, is context. Because when you look at these numbers in context, not only do the exclamation points disappear, but so do any claims of robust job growth under this administration.

'Take that 14.4 million job growth number. That sounds impressive doesn't it? But that job growth is stretched over almost six full years, during which time the working age population grew by 15.8 million.

In that respect, we've lost ground on jobs under Obama.

What's more, that 14.4 million increase in jobs is measured against when the job market hit rock bottom in February 2010. If you compare the current number of jobs to the previous jobs peak in January 2008 -- which is how job growth is normally measured -- the number of private-sector jobs has increased just 5.6 million.

During that time, the population grew by more than 20 million. In other words, there's a jobs gap of more than 14 million.

What about labor force participation? This is a measure of how many people are working or activity looking for a job. And while it's recently ticked upward, as the nearby chart shows it is still way below where it was when the jobs recession ended in early 2010.

Want more context? Compare these numbers to what happened during the Reagan recovery, when the job market exploded after bottoming out in December 1982. While the population grew 12.4 million in the following six years, the number of jobs shot up by 18.4 million.

As a result, the labor force participation rate -- which started out lower under Reagan than Obama -- zoomed upward as strong growth pulled people back into the job market.

There are other bits of context on jobs that Furman manages to leave out of his post.

While 14.4 million jobs were created from February 2010 to March 2016, the number of people who dropped out of the labor force -- either because they retired or just quit looking for work -- shot up an astonishing 10 million.

Meanwhile, the number of people who aren't in the labor force but do want to work is higher today than when Obama took office. And the median length of unemployment is now 11.4 weeks, which is also higher than when Obama took office.

In many areas of life, slow and steady will win the race. But when it comes to job growth, slow and steady ends up leaving millions of workers in the dust.

Wow, since you are an economic genius, explain how government spending stimulates anything.

Where did Obama's stimulus money go?

"Republicans are job creationists. We know the rich create jobs. Democrats believe that jobs just EVOLVE from millions of years of stimulus packages." – Daily Show Senior Debt Correspondent Wyatt Cenac

Remember when Obama got his trillion-odd dollars of "stimulus money" which he and the Democrats breathlessly said we needed for "shovel ready" jobs to re-build roads and infrastructure? Please e-mail me if anything of the sort got built in your town. Nothing got built in the cities where I spend time.

Roads are bad in Atlanta. I recently drove though Buckhead with its bone-jarring potholes. Folks have to have SUVs there to survive the roads, some with potholes so big that you can bass fish in them after a good rain.

When the stimulus bill (or as lobbyists for graft-grabbing special interests called it, "The Show") was proposed, it was made to sound urgent. Politicians said it would bring "rigor" to the economy. It turns out it also brought mortis.

So where did all that sweet stimulus money go? Of the money spent in swing state Wisconsin, 80 percent went to public sector unions – those with already locked-in jobs. In fact, right-to-work states got $266 less per person in stimulus money than heavily unionized states. Where Democrats had a vast majority of representatives, their states got $460 per person more.

When Obama signed the stimulus bill in 2009, he promised it would provide "help for those hardest hit by our economic crisis." Clearly, it did not. The states hurt the most, the ones with more foreclosures, unemployment and bankruptcy, got less money than richer states closer to power. Washington, D.C. got the most stimulus money: $7,602 per capita.

The stimulus was a huge political slush fund with little accountability. Obama credits the passage of his stimulus bill to people having no idea how Democrats were going to spend the money.

Obama, Pelosi and Reid still maintain that doling out all the stimulus money saved jobs. It did – theirs. As recently as the State of the Union speech, they actually begged for more stimulus money – $155 billion more. That is like burning down the hotel you got to stay in for free, then disputing your mini-bar charge.

In the same State of the Union speech Obama said that spending would not cost tax payers a dime. As is tradition, Bernie Madoff was absent from the floor of Congress during Obama's speech to ensure continuity of government, should anything like an attack occur.

Rich Democrat donors also got payback. The farcical "green" energy company Solyndra defaulted on more than half a billion dollars of our money, while Obama mega-donor George Kaiser finagled his interest ahead of ours. Other beneficiaries of Obama's largesse for dubious deals include Larry Page and Sergey Brin (if you Google them you will find they founded Google) for Tesla Motors, NRG Solar owners Warren Buffet and Steve Cohen, and Siga Tech owner Ronald Pearlman. All told, more than 75 percent of stimulus grants and money for such "businesses" found their way to big Obama supporters.

Even creepy crony capitalist of the century Al Gore got his snout in the trough. His investment in Fisker Automotive scored a $528 million loan guarantee. Can you imagine the risks you could take if you were given $528 million that you were not personally on the hook for? Of course all these businesses are tanking or have tanked already.

Al Gore said the stimulus plan worked. He also thinks his Weight Watchers plan is working.

We are almost $17 trillion in debt, and that does not include the Obamas' upcoming vacations or the 50th birthday party we are apparently throwing for Michelle, for which Beyoncé and Adele have been hired to sing.

In the Senate's disingenuous budget (its first in four years), most of what is called "savings" comes from the winding down of wars which Bush laid out before he left office. On the bright side, we won't have to invade Afghanistan for a while. I think Russia's turn is next.

For all their self-aggrandizing rhetoric about "helping the needy" with stimulus money, the reality is that Democrats simply helped themselves. This was only a surprise if you were not paying attention. The next time Democrats give a speech about "shovel ready jobs," get your shovel ready. It will get deep.

SS is not bankrupt but will be if someone does not fix it. Well, why has it not been fixed? I have seen no plans as of yet on the fix. Millions of us are still waiting for the progressives to fix THEIR Socialist plan? Somebody better get busy! They might want to deal with the FDIC as well. And I hear FANNIE N FREDDIE will need to be monetized yet again in 2017. Rumor has it, taxpayers will be in the hook for about $240 billion. Maybe more!

And you want these people running your healthcare? They can't even take care of our 1 million Veterans. How do you think Obamacare is going to serve 320 million and growing human beings thanks to our globalist leaders opening our borders? And you guys want a single payer system? After we watch how the Vets are treated? You guys are lost in your utopian minds.

See another low information post whining about SS and blaming the democrats. The left has tried for the last 71/2 years trying to fix SS but get obstructed by the right wing. Take a look the right wing has had control of the House of Representatives for the last 51/2 years they have not created or sponsored any bill to fix SS. They have had control over the Senate for the last 11/2 years and done nothing but obstruct anything to fix SS except talk about privatizing SS but they know the American voters are against privatizing SS.

Now do you have any idea why SS is in trouble let me help you. First Ronald Reagan signed into law the largest income tax bill in the history of this country through the SS amendment Act he signed into law in 1982.

Second Ronald Reagan instead of putting that SS tax increase into the SS fund to address the baby boomers who are retiring now and creating this problem he deposited those funds into the Federal general fund and stole $1.4 trillion to pay for his failed trickle down economics agenda.

Third Bush 43 stole $1.2 trillion to pay for his 2 wars.

Fourth And you should look this up the largest debt holder to the US is the SS fund.

So the republicans stole $2.6 trillion from SS that's why it's in trouble so just tell the republicans to pay the money back and SS will be solvent.

Your Veterans comment is stupid and lacks any facts. If your so concerned about veterans funding why do you vote for the same people who voted no to properly funding the VA 11 times since 2003.

Well the government running health what a stupid GD statement who the hell do you think runs Medicare and 89% of this country love there Medicare.

You are ignorant beyond belief.

Confine your comments to something you know something about because right now you are just nuts.

Stop repuking.lunacy and actually find out. You have such little concept of these issues it is appalling. You rant and rave and accuse others of being low information, and you are too stupid to understand you are talking to people IN the industry and who HAVE to understand it because they work in it every day.

Only a know nothing low information fool wants a one.pay or government run health care system. You don't even know a fragment of how it has been proposed. It has NOTHING to do with how Medicare works and for your information dope, Medicare is an abomination. But you don't know. All you have is one tiny perspective and you are stupid enough to think rhat's all there is to it.

I can't believe how little you know and how much you talk about it. You are just ridiculous. You try to sound like an authority BUT YOU DON'T HAVE A CLUE. My Lord TD, there are over 60,000 pages JUST TO MEDICARE. I doubt if you have even seen ONE. All you know is what you can read off the net and you are so dumb you think that is what the industry uses. IT'S HYPE!!! FOR DOPES LIKE YOU!!! You don't have access dolt.

You sit back and try to discuss what you read and argue with people who KNOW.

Just shut up until you know something.

Months ago I told you what was happening with the ACA and what was coming. Because I was in it before the drafting was complete. Before you ever heard of it. Not long ago I told you what was going to happen with premiums and out of pockets etc. And now the WH is telling you what I told you is in fact going to be here in just a little over 2 months.

But you think the tiny world in which you live is everyone's world. IT IS NOT!! And you have one more year. In 2018 the odds are you will lose what you have today so don't be a fool. Start looking NOW because when the ACA folds, insurance coverage will not be guarenteed. If you don't have a plan, in your case you won't get one.

But knowing your ignorant "cut off your nose to spite your own face" mentality, you will think you know more. And now you're going to tell me how it is, and by not listening and continuing to be a pompous ads you will jeopardize and probably harm your own family. You are too arrogant to recognize an attempt to help.

Okay. Don't cry later. Idiot.
