I just look at the statistics of approx. 141 million people of working age and 92 million people out of work. Whatever the real number it is as bad as the Great Depression or worse. It sure is not 5.6%
If we did not have SS, 2 yrs of unemployment insurance, food stamps and welfare people would be starving in the streets right now. The soup kitchen lines would be a mile long.
Sadly as long as BHO is in office nothing will get better.
Too true.

The irony is that if there never were SS, 2 yrs of unemployment insurance, food stamps and welfare, and these things were instead left to the free market and charities, along with no mandated subprime mortgages and Obama's total failure of a stimulus plan, the American economy would probably be leading the world in the midst of a technology and energy boom.
All one has to do is look at history. The Roaring Twenties proves that austerity works to produce incredible prosperity. The Dirty Thirties illustrates without a doubt that stimulus economics and bigger government produces malaise.
