No $hit. Under President Bush, my wife and I had a six-figure income. Under Dumboears Obama, we’re on food stamps.
That must have been you I saw in line.......I was denied.
Stimulus spending does no good.

Thanks to OBAMA!
Hey...agree!
Before the Bush Bashers get in here....I lost at least 1/2 of my retirement thanks to Obozo not getting this ship back and of course the Dems’ Fannie/Freddie etc crash.
with the way kids are “edumacated” now unemployment will still be high.

I got your back. No bush bashing here.
1. Outlaw public unions
2. Reduce government and regulations
3. Reduce government taxes especially corporate taxes
4. Massive tort reform
5. School choice
Or in a nutshell - everything that democrats support and gain their power from destroys jobs...
After the big government default and layoffs, maybe we’ll see lower levels of pride and more ironing of shirts. What’s for supper, anyway? ;-)
They don’t want them coming back but a whole dependent underclass to keep voting them in ad infinitum (Panem et Circines)
Unbelievable.
The moment buisnesses knew Obama was going to be president they started elimanating jobs.Now OBama can say whatever he wants but that is the truth and this chart does not lie.
I know several people who are around age 60 and out of work. No one will hire them. They are taking early social security as their only real option. S/S didn’t see this coming - hence they will start running deficits much earlier than planned.
My daughter is a coupon cutter. She has an average grocery bill of $110/week. With the coupons, she rarely spends more than $18. A couple of times she has had a balance and walks away with cash and the food. And even then, we store a lot of goodies. E.g. we had 18 lbs of bacon that she paid about $0.50/lb for. Since they offer many toiletries also, she gets the bargains (a lot more than she needs) and sells the balance at carport sales. An 8-pack of TP sells for 2 bucks and she gets 5 packs. Sells them for $4/pack. What she makes on the sales essentially brings their food bill down to $0. Her sis in law does the same and has similar results. Not bad. She says it takes about 1 1/2 hours a week to arrange the coupons and go thru the Wednesday and Sunday papers. My wife helps. Anyway, try that and help yourself out a bit.
Recovery Summer has made the transition to Epic Fail Fall.
See my tagline for my response:

What a great suggestion!
