Are you stating a fact or trying to make it seem like Obama is still doing good? subjective question.

Ok.....this is the story of the economy. During Clinton's term, he signed NAFTA into existence. NAFTA boosted US production by taking jobs that were going to china and moving them to mexico so they could keep their construction or manufacturing facilities in the US. Also it allowed companies such as material manufacturing to ship to mexico with no tariff as long long as it was a high % US Material (85% I believe). After the success of Nafta, jobs that would have gone to the far east stayed. Yes, a lot of people lost work, but they were gonna lose it to China anyway. Now here's where the Gov't fucked up. Late in his term Clinton signed a bill that for 10 years it limited how much could be imported into the US from China, keeping all the work in Mexico and Central America out of US made parts going. For 10 years, through the 2nd Clinton term and the 3/4 of Bush's presidency, this was an incredible economic win. When the bill expired, there was a rush to try to make a new extended one that was shot down by congress. What happened then is why we are where we are. All the jobs in Mexico and Central America moved to china. They had built up a surplus of goods in such enormous amounts that they flooded the market.
Within 2 years, hundreds of thousands of Americans had lost their jobs. Hundreds of thousands of Mexicans and Central American companies dropped their manufacturing services altogether. Now, around 2008, we sit with all these people that had been depending on the US fabrics/materials to construct their products suddenly there are no jobs. The unemployment rates go up to 50% in some countries, because the money we had been pumping in down there had their countries go from complete poverty to above the 3rd world status.
Now we are sitting with a huge deficit, owed mostly to china. This lets china keep their currency artificially low. We float their currency value, they call in the debt card. Now we have thousands of people crossing the border and it's our own fault, because they had bigger families, expecting the American money to keep flowing because Clinton had promised it would. And we have large companies like Wal-Mart that buy based on price alone, and China is suddenly poised to become the world's leading super power within the next 30 years.

You mean everyone in the general population then.
The senate has a really low rating, Americans are still upset with Harry Reid getting re-elected I think. The house has a better aproval rating, but then again they have Democrats there too. So ya Congress has low numbers becasue Democrats are still everywhere in Washington. They wanted to show the American people in 2008, that they can suck at thier job just as bad as George Bush. That they have my friend. that they have...
does Obama have 100% approval rating?

lol..you make my day guy... I swear you are like the retarded guy that everyone likes
Its simple. People who pay a lot of income,capitol gains, and value added taxes are republican, and people who don't are democrat. Thats why Obama's economic advisor and CEO of GE just sent 90% of his jobs to China. And he also pays no taxes. He is also rich as hell. Most Rich people are Democrat. About 80%, and are in bed with Washington lobyists. and pay no taxes. greased hands. those are Obama's boys. So of course Democrats want Taxes to go up. They don't pay any

most congressional members still enjoy 50% or better approval ratings in their own districts no matter where you go.
but congress as a whole clocks in at about 1 in 8. i wonder who those people are that are satisfied with congress right now.

sounds like you've got it all figured out, munch cocks.
Ron Paul represents a coastal district, yet he hates FIMA and wants to see it reformed

that sounds about as intelligent as rick perry slashing the budget for the people putting out wildfires while his state burns, and praying for rain instead.

Reform hell he said "we don't need FEMA"... I guess he wants it like the 1900 hurricane in Galveston ( his district)...That one killed about 6000 people because the local populace could not afford to pay for a sea wall....and wheres the link for the senate rating alone...or are you just another shit talker
Ron Paul sees the problem in most bureaucracies. FEMA gets in the way a lot of the time .They prevent willing civillians form helping, working together to save lives in disaster. Its is a governemnt bureaucracy which means politics plays a big part in how its funded and operated. they don't use the money smart in most cases.
