Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla., 'pretty happy' with economy

Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, D-Fla. Says she is “pretty happy” with the ongoing economic recovery according to a report by The Examiner, published Sunday, July 8.

Wasserman-Shultz, the Florida Democrat who chairs the Democratic National Committee (DNC), quickly became the butt of political jokes as some Republicans suggested she’s been on "Mars," or a “fantasy land.”

“I am pretty happy about straight 28 months of job growth in the private sector,” Wasserman-Schultz said on Fox News Sunday when asked about the latest jobs report showing 8.2 percent unemployment nationally and 80,000 jobs created. Wasserman-Shultz’s comments came after a string of dismal job reports that has the Obama campaign playing defense. President Obama himself was ridiculed recently in similar fashion after saying the "private sector was doing fine."

Mr. Obama walked his statement back, later saying the private sector "certainly isn't doing fine," but Wasserman Shultz may have reignited that political firestorm, at least in Florida.

Just when you thought you were safe, Debbie Syphilis-Test comes back to life and it is not a bad dream! I thought that they had fired her or that she had taken an extended absence for face and brain transplants. Sorta like the zombies that just won’t stay dead.

She is truly the gift that keeps on giving. We need to encourage her to talk more between now and November.

Sgt. Schultz owned a toy factory in civilian life, IIRC. Debbie has two full-time, high-paying jobs, of course she’s happy!

“What about heavy industry? How are anvils doing?”

The Chinese are making them, and Harbor Freight is selling them over here.

“Stupid, loud, and obnoxious is no way to go through life, Wasserman/Shultz.”

Generations of Yentas disagree.

Beware of women with three names.

Yes, that hyphenated surname style (outside of Spanish speaking countries where it is an old tradition) was something popularized by the bra-burning feminists of the 1970s. Although "Wasserman Schultz" is generally not spelled with a hyphen, I'd intuit that she and her "progressive" husband thought that the double surname thing was chic.

If we’ve enjoyed 28 straight months of private sector job growth, then why has the unemployment rate stayed above 8%? Just curious...

War Is Peace

Freedom Is Slavery

We have always been at war with Eurasia

There have been 28 straight months of private sector job growth

Well she’s partially right - I hear that permits to sell apples on street corners have risen steadily since BO was elected.

Give her some credit ;)

Based on the Bureau of Labor Statistics web page, there has been an increase in jobs every month for the last 20 months. Not 28, as DBS says. Just another typical, ignorant (or lying) Democrat.
