Unemployment: A new study finds that 60% of the jobs gained last year were due to the fact that Republicans managed to block one of President Obama's key "middle class economics" policies in Congress.
Let's dial the clock back to December 2013. At that point, 1.3 million faced an end to the federal unemployment benefits that Congress had extended repeatedly in the wake of the recession.
Obama predicted doom if this were to happen: "Economists have said failing to extend unemployment benefits is going to have a drag on economic growth for next year." Unemployment insurance, he said, is "one of the most effective ways there is to boost our economy."

Obama nor Republicans, are not doing the ONE thing which would bring back American jobs:
Bring back American factories.
We import far too much now, from the world’s biggest communist country. Which doesn’t allow Americans to immigrate, and doesn’t send factories to America.
Yet everyone continues to import, import, import ever more of what used to be made right here in America.
Bring back American jobs.
In reality texans rebuplicans and other liberty lovers have done this. We massively reduced energy prices which are at the heart of manufacturing costs. This is bringing manufacturing back to America.
You’re welcome.
Preach it, brother.
2014 we will suffer the largest trade deficit with China in recorded history.
Just wait for December’s data.

This is one of the hot buttons to me....that Republicans - since Reagan, or Newt in the Contract with America, never talk about WHY — why stuff happens, why jobs are created, why jobs are lost.
They always focus on what....what is the UE ...and on who, who is in the White House when it happens. This article points out the very key component of WHY.
We need to talk WHY, not what, when, who......

I read in USAToday that “while Republicans talked about drill baby drill, Obama was the one that made it happen”
So the MSM is already crediting Caliph Baraq with $2 gas.
