Seriously? The population grows 200,000+ per month. We are not even keeping up with population growth. We are stuck in a permanent bottom. We fell, and we are not getting up.
Look at the chart I posted in 32. Also look at my other post about the Initial Claims levels being at or slightly below the average of the last 45 years. The “recovery” is slow by historical standards but things like housing are up big YOY, Industrial Production is close to getting back to pre-recession peak. Look, I hate Obama too but the economy is improving. If Obama would not have meddled it would have gotten back a hell of a lot faster. Also Obama’s regulations are stifling growth. We sure as hell could be doing a lot better.
