Guest EXPAT Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Given the deep ditch that Bush put us in with a war that wasn't paid for, this trend is not bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TampaYankee Posted January 5, 2012 Members Share Posted January 5, 2012 No, it's not bad but it is not good either. It could have been significantly better if the GOP had not acted as obstructionists for purely political reasons. The GOP has refused to join Obama in economic programs and legislation that they have clearly supported in the past under other presidents of both parties, such as infrastructure iimprovements. Not sure the electorate sees that clearly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest EXPAT Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Agree completely. Also for a GOP who believes that only the private sector can create jobs, why are there so many of them running for President? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest EXPAT Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 And we added 325,000 jobs in December. I'm sure many were holiday oriented jobs. But still a good number. http://www.marketwatch.com/story/us-private-payrolls-swell-in-december-2012-01-05?link=MW-FB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Lucky Posted January 6, 2012 Members Share Posted January 6, 2012 But they are mostly low-paying jobs, jobs that cannot support a family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
