And that is supposed to be shocking when we almost fell into a depression as bad as the great depression? If President Obama hadn't done what he did to stop the depression we might have bread lines now.

or even worse maybe death panels. Thank you Comrade Obama for saving us.

We do

No we do not. During a recession human services have to go up. As a nation we show how very rich we are by how well we take care of our poor and underprivileged.

Wonder why we have to wait until the sheet hits the fan for that?

Oh, one question what exactly did Obama do to keep us out of recession? Bail out the banks, car companies, play lots of golf, proposing amnesty for illegal aliens, killing Osama Bin Laden ...lol... , using Hillary as a sacrificial lamb for the Libyan Embassy attack, et. al. Yes I know that he is not solely to blame for any of this, just as he is not solely to credit for keeping the US from flat-lining.

In one way, those death panels will relieve us of a lot of the meds we are paying for that keep liberals alive.

its good to see in numbers what I dont hear in 'american' sentiment,,,

The stimulus that the economists told him to do, did what it was suppose to do. We are not in a Depression

Say it loud

WE ARE NOT IN A DEPRESSION!!!

which means it worked.

No matter how long the recession takes to resolve which has been guessed by economists to take 10 years, WE ARE NOT IN A DEPRESSION

AGAIN TO MUSIC

WE ARE NOT IN A DEPRESSION ♫

We are just a couple years from hitting the mark of no return.

Relieve oBamy.

By spending more money? Logic tells ANYONE that won't last long. The value of the dollar will crash and become worthless, but keep spending and thinking it can't happen. I am already stocking water, canning food, and buying more ammo. Why? To keep the brainwashed, lie believing, basically unprepared folk off my property.

Four years ago? 2008? Didn't the GFC strike in 2008? Oh yes, it did! Didn't thousands lose their jobs? Oh yes, they did! Perhaps that is why welfare spending might be showing such a marked increase?


Hmmm.........




Now that you mention it.....




Could be!

This is a joke. I didn't see communities of people living in boxes like hoovervilles. People just regurgitating what they hear on TVs.

Actually Bush bailed out the banks and auto industries. Look up the bills. Bush signed them.

Sadly, I don't know whether to laugh or cry!

It's phuckin rediculous how people defend one major party candidate or the other when both are to blame! Electing or voting for the same failed parties, and their policies, year after year, nothing ever changing for the better, yet expecting something different for a result.

Of course, when the next one fails, and the one after that, let's just point fingers, say it could have been worse, and excuse ourselves right into a state of outright stupidity and our own demise!

Unflippinbelievable.... here we are about to do it again! Just whimper ourselves into submission, hold your nose, and obey once again!

no worries, you'll get what you ask for....and all that goes with it.....yet again!

Like fish, all you ever see is the worm! Guess what's for supper?

And Obozo claims the glory if they work (even when they really don't, harm more than they help, drive us closer to economic collapse, we're sold that they do by MSM puppets with glitz and glamor, a fanfare, and high def graphics.... and faithfully and predictably, we buy it!)

bush signed tarp but Obama extended the initial amount for the auto industries

That is not a plus since they are now failing yet again and want more of our money to "fix" things, making the company worth more than 30 cents on the dollar in its sale to China!

It should have gone into foreclosure, been bailed out by the market and it's investors, saving the taxpayers billions of dollars which we are about to kiss goodbye as it fails in the end....just like everything else this and other administrations have poured our money into, profiting the private industries and banks at our expense, causing the collapse in the 1st place!

A circle leads nowhere, it will only roll downhill!

there was no indicators 'private' investors were running to their aid either,,,,


sometimes the bottom line isnt as important as americans livelihoods,,

If private investors won't touch it......seems to me that would be a sign it needs to fail.... just as banks who can't handle their own money, much less their investors, properly!
