Hey President Obama, you're right it was your tax breaks for the rich
deal with the Republicans that lowered the unemployment rate.

Your deal making has exceeded all expectations. Kicking 99ers off the rolls did lower the umployment rate. Atleast on paper the unemployment rate decreased.

Good Job, Mr. President.

1. Bush must have been right all along
Edited on Sat Jan-08-11 11:36 AM by Autumn
I just am on pins and needles to see what else he was right about. I feel so bad that I trashed him for 10 years. On taxes, exploding the deficit and blowing a surplus, the wars, carving away at our liberties. We are bad Democrats. But now I see the error of our ways.

Good job indeed.

7. I know, it's going to be hard for all of us to admit the BUSH was great, but we're going to
have to do it.

It's what's best for Obama.

3. Charter schools -
why not ... it's not like we need high skilled folks to operate weapons so why educate them anyway? Instead of public schools and middle schools we'll send most off to boot camp at 12. Charter schools and private schools can educate the petty bourgeoisie and rich.

9. Oh god not this ever loving myth.... 99ER dropping off rolls doesn't lower unemployment.
Benefits has ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with unemployment. Nothing. Nothing what so ever.

U-3 = not working, willing & able to work, actively looking for a job (at least one inquiry in last 4 weeks).

U-4 = U-3 + discourage workers (people who stopped looking because they believe there are no jobs)

U-5 = U-4 + all other people not actively looking for work (poor health, family issues, etc)

U-6 = U-5 + all persons working less than full time because they can't find full-time employment.

11. I think Bush was maybe right about...
privatizing Social Security. Even Obama seems to think he needs to tinker with it.

16. Bush was also right about massive defense spending.
Thank goodness Obama agrees too and gave us the largest defense budget since WWII.

I feel safe again.
