>>Just eight years ago, as I prepared to take office, our economy teetered on the brink of depression.<<

So the ferrules instituted the largest hoax on the American people by transferring the wealth of the middle class to the super wealthy/corporations/wall street by way of bailouts, TARP, multiple QE’s. Courtesy of taxpayers.

Well done Bush/Obozo/House/Senate...well done.

The result? Absolutely nothing. The U.S. economy has been dragging along at sub 2%, 20 (T)rillion in debt, interest rates for elderly savers at zero for years, trade deficits with almost every country round the world and millions of the worlds impoverished flooding across our borders to further overwhelm our infrastructure and social safety nets.

So...if we are a nation of roughly 330 million folks and we have 94 million working age citizens outside the workforce (see national debt clock), how is it that our unemployment rate sits at 4.6%? Should it not be upwards of 30%?

These are the best and brightest up in D.C., well done y'all.

One further note to seff...seff, it's a new year with a new president. I pray Trump truly does care for the middle class as he has led us all to believe.

If so....it's gonna be a great year, great 100 dayz.

Yeah, 4 percent didn’t sound right to me. But unemployment doesn’t cover all the people who ended up doing cheap jobs though, that doesn’t look good either.
