Jobs may have been lost, but just as many have been gained. ND, that's my only real gripe about your posts... You are constantly trying to say that we've "lost jobs"... How about a little intuectual honesty? Can we agree to use the NET numbers for employment? Is that so hard?
As you can see, the employment to population ratio is flat - there is no decline - and so the overall number of jobs in the US has not been in decline since Obama has been in office. It hasn't gone up either, obviously, so why dont you focus on the fact that employment hasn't improved rather than trying to overstate how bad things are?
Also, since Obama has been in office the stock market is up; Obviously there have been declines lately but the market is still up overall over the course of Obama's term.
And I still dont see how you're getting 16% unemployment...
