It did? Ooooookayyyy....

[Nifster]

We are truly in the world of 1984 doublespeak

[DoughtyOne]

This is not true. It isn’t even close to the truth.

Just one issue, Black unemployment is much higher now than it was under Bush. The Black youth unemployment is simply massive.

Nobody is better off now than they were under Bush, and that isn’t saying much. Under Bush they weren’t as well off as they were under Reagan.

This is a bull stuff article.

Bwa ha ha. Man I love reading The Onion. I thought that site was banned from FR, though.

Happy Days Are Here Again!

[Ted Grant]

The little reported “Thriving” stat.

[JBW1949]

Just think...All those people out of work can just sit at home now...So what if they have no money...They don’t have to go anywhere to do labor...They can just sit home and “eat cake”...

[LeonardFMason]

This is laughable. NO FACTS. Just “How do you FEEL?”.

UTTER BULL.

[KittenClaws]

There is most certainly an increase of those “thriving” on the taxpayer dime.

[Stosh]

Well, about twice as many are thriving on food stamps as there were at Obama’s inaugural.

[nhwingut]

Gallup measures "thriving" according to how poll respondents rate both their current lives and their expectations for life in the future. On a scale of zero to 10, "those who rate their present life a 7 or higher and their life in five years an 8 or higher are classified as thriving."

LOL! Nothing to do with actual data.

[RegulatorCountry]

What is this “thriving” metric? I don’t believe I’ve ever heard of it before now.

[stocksthatgoup]

6% increase over 8 years. Population growth-average income-inflation- a decrease not an increase for the average black American. Figures lie, liars figure.

[lafroste]

They must define “thriving” as not being murdered yet.

[Brilliant]

I’m making less than 1/2 what I did in the last year of the Bush administration.

[Gay State Conservative]

And yet two-thirds of Americans think the country's moving in the wrong direction.Someone’s lying...and my money's on the Community Organizer-In-Chief.

[Logical me]

WP pile of shi!. Worthless bunch of communists sick heads.

[wally_bert]

I’m making about double when W. was about to go and after all is said and done with being ripped off, I am not really clearing that much more than than then.

For the first few years of the wun, I was near penniless at times.

“Liars Are Us” is not only a tag that can legitimately be worn by Barack Obama and his handpicked replacement but one that should identify a mainstream media that is keeping Hillary Clinton leading most polls."

”The propaganda going on in today’s MSM would make Goebbels proud. It’s absolutely outrageous the slander and libel going on everyday against Trump, and people of ALL political persuasions should be outraged. If politicians were able to sue these slime bags for slander and libel Trump would have made himself another 10 billion by now. How outrageous is it that the media completely ignored the fact that the DNC celebrated the mother of an attempted cop killer and instead chose to focus on the lesser story of Trump questioning why a woman didn’t speak. So attempted cop killers - Good. Asking a question - BAD!” posted on 8/13/2016, 7:04:57 AM by GrandJediMasterYoda
