The 17% is fairly accurate, if you take into account the people who have grown discouraged of looking for jobs that do not exist except in O’bama’s mind. Liberals are such prevaricators- you all just play “Spin the Voter”-
The big O is real close to being actually treasonous- he is certainly not being faithful to the Constitution, or any concepts of “limited” government.
The day is coming when his feet WILL be held to the fire, and he will have to account for his transgressions, stomping on the Constitution as he has done.

It is from the infusion of taxpayer money by the Wall Street companies. They are making money off our taxes.

The market is not up because of every day people investing.

Way WAY up. Four thousand point gain in less than a year?! I think Obama’s market increase from it’s lows may be the fastest and largest increase ever. And as one fellow noted, this represents the market anticipating the future…

Wasn’t it just yesterday you were saying something about not being dishonest? That didn’t last long.

If you include those who have quit looking, AND the under employed, some calculations give around 17%, but that would using a nonstandard measurement (moving the goal posts). The way you state it above is entirely dishonest.

The 17% figure is bogus. I would like you to cite something good that explains how it was generated.

“…government is dropping people earlier than is customary.”

Prove it. The article you cited last week didn’t really prove much.

Unemployment is around 17% but the people who have quit looking are not included and the government is dropping people earlier than is customary to make it look better.

The market reacts and a lot of the increase is Wall Street injecting TARP money to make money for their banks.

“In other words, the stimulus did not work. Say it again children, the stimulus did not work.”

The study was looking at transportation spending, 7% of that nearly $800 billion package, not the entire stimulus. Your distortion is a nice try though.

“Democrats have run the economy into the ground with the stimulus…”

This is of course something you can’t back up. The markets are up, unemployment has leveled off for the most part, and the National Bureau of Economic Research will report the recession ended in 2009. So which part of the economy is in the ground?

You can just keep pretending everything is bad with the economy, the stimulus has made it worse, and it’s all Obama’s fault. Or you could come back to reality and realize that the economy is moving toward recovery.

The economy could fall apart again but until it does you’ll be lying when you sit there and write about how the economy has been run into the ground by the stimulus.
