Unemployed (real number) around 20%.
Families living paycheck to paycheck.
A Federal debt up $4.7 Trillion in under three years.
Nationalization of much of the auto industry, banks and a major insurance company.

And now, an argument that Republicans want to hurt the economy to make Obama look bad???

Absolute insanity.

As bad as some claimed the US economy was in 2008-2009, a logical realization to even those who supported Obama has to be that the economy would be significantly better now had President Bush and President Obama not taken any actions in the economy. No TARP, no QE1, QE2 or stimulus. Yet, we're supposed to support another $2.5 Trillion increase in the debt ceiling?

That total debt ($17 Trillion) equals roughly $56,000 for every man, women and child living in this Country, not taking into account interest. Where will this money come from to pay this debt plus interest back?

We're witnessing in real time how Socialism is a failure.
