Romney promised to bring unemployment down to 6% after four years with his economic plan...

[Padawanbater2]

..Obama just achieved this feat in half the time.

^^^ is the link to Mitt Romney's promise.

Now, before people go apeshit, I realize that the President's policies are not the only or even main factor affecting unemployment and that most economic forecasters were predicting that unemployment would fall to this level on its due to the policies Obama had already enacted. I realize that there are problems with flat wage growth and labor force participation, but conservatives would be telling us how awesome Romney was for achieving the exact same statistics.

My point is that even if Romney were president, all the conservatives would be celebrating a "miraculous Romney recovery" even if he had done nothing at all."

I'm sure Romney and his bros would have somehow made more money by taking twice as long to fabricate the illusion of unemployment reduction.



(...that, or, they didn't want to over-promise and under-deliver, so they made a claim they thought they'd surely be able to deliver, and hoped it would happen sooner... but now he's getting flak even though he's not president LOL... which is totally fine with me, because i despise 99% of all politicians anyway)

Aaaaaan, owned.

Yet the U6 unemployment rate has been hovering around the same.

So yeah, there's moar jobs, which is a good thing cos you'd need 3 or 4 of them to earn a live-able wage.

Thanks Obama.

Any president is basically a puppet

There are different PMs for repubs and dems

What romney didn't say is how he would do it- WAR killing off > 10%

So, you seem to understand that the unemployment number is pure fiction and seek to excuse the current administration for outright lying about its positivity by proposing that a hypothetical and nonexistent Republican administration would do the same thing. Classic.

And you're wrong. While Republicans and other progressive dipshits might celebrate a miraculous recovery, Conservatives would not. Nor would anyone with their fucking eyes open.

"315,000 Americans dropping out of the labor force IN ONE MONTH.

Average hourly wages just dropped for the 6th time since 2008

230,000 of the new jobs went to those in the 55 to 69 year old age group.

In the prime working age group of 24 to 54 years old, 10,000 JOBS WERE LOST!

4 out of 5 jobs added were low to minimum wage"

Yeah, the only people celebrating should be halfwit partisan hacks like UB and people with ghastly head injuries.

 

[NoDrama]

The unemployment numbers are pure fiction, just like the GDP and economic numbers are pure fiction. They will only get more of the same as the November elections close in.

So you think war is UN-necessisary?

Of course not

Its' sole purpose is control and money

It's sole purpose is the gathering of resource and increasing of security for the protected populaces. The losers really lose.

It's also called U6.

The reported Govt figures are the U4 figures, which don't count people who have given up looking for work or people who are under-employed.

Obama :Food stamps + 20hrs Employment per week = Unemployment problem solved.

Not enough money?

Increase minimum wage.

What could go wrong?

Umm, not really, the true number ( henceforth referred to as the U-6 #, see new Fed guidelines ) is 11.6%. Nice try though.

 

[UncleBuck]

the asshurt racist righties already declared those numbers to be "pure fiction" as if on cue, and verbatim, so there is no point to bring them up.

or, should i say in your case, bring them down, since you are a laughable 4'10'' on a good day.

that number is pure fiction, dick cheese.

you stupid racist righties need to coordinate your propaganda a little better.

and for the record, when we use those fictional numbers, we don't use U-6. only anally anguished racist righties do that to downplay obama's superior handling of the economy.
