It would be nice to see the chart go back through the beginning of Bushs first term, as unemployment averaged between four and five percent under his tenure

It should include who had control of the House and Senate in that, and when

With a little disclaimer about Barney Frank and Chris Dodds role in the housing market collapse as well

The chart clearly shows you're incorrect.

Status: offline 		The goal post has been and is unemployment, I havent shifted from that. His failed stimulus was all about employment and the economy generally, the two are tied together intrinsically

Another thing, no one is happyabout the current economy, there is a lot of talk about double dip, or that there was never a recovery, and the longest worst prolonged recession etc etc etc

You and Obama can only blame Bush for so long

But I would like to give you credit for being somewhat civil in these discussions MM, and for keeping things on topic

Thank you for that.

Status: offline 		Twist and spin like a top if you like. Your assertion has been disproved. Jobs didn't go up in smoke...they have rebound from the Bush low and climbed from there, continually, and have been in positive territory from that low ever since. Simple reality.

The stimulus, if you now want to talk about that, is a different matter. In fact, I'd agree with parts of your criticism. While it has stimulated growth, not across the board, and it's debatable that that growth would have happened anyway. It is successful in that we pulled out of recession (by technical measures) almost immediately, and have stayed out. It is disappointing, though, in three ways: (1) it hasn't spread to the rest of the economy, (2) while it has eased the credit crunch, it hasn't resolved it, and (3) it's very expensive, even if arguably necessary (I'm middle of the road on that one).

You're welcome about the civility. I appreciate your noticing and saying so. Thanks.

I think the point is how slowly the climb up has been, especially in contrast to what we were promised / threatened about the stimulus

Despite your spin its universally accepted that the recovery is very weak (many credible people even question its very existance) and your graphs make jobs growth look good with the numbers spacing, exaggerating the highs under Bush and making the weak growth look better than it is

The speed is a different matter, and yes, we'd all like to see better. But up is still up, and not down.

You were simply wrong on this one.

Myth busted.

Okay, then - never mind the spin, pay attention to the direction...

If you look at it, its trending down, so you lose on that point as well. Well, more precisely, we all lose.

Jobs and the economy have simply grown during this economy. Period. The damage was done prior.

That it's not rebounding as much as we would all like, true.

It doesnt exist. Carve out borrowed government spending from inflation adjusted GDP and there is no net growth.

The release of oil from the strategic oil reserves is further stimulus, exagerating the bogus numbers even more. That oil is going to have to be paid for at some point
