This is the strangest recovery in history. Jobs aren’t coming back, income isn’t rebounding, spending isn’t rising, but Obama is still in office, so we call this a recovery.
There’s no Republican in office. Prices have tripled. No jobs. The ones that are there are steaming crap. It’s a recovery all right.
Let a Republican president take office and it would be “the worst economy in fifty years” even if there was a boom going on.
