Mark, you're still trolling right?
You can't honestly think that having so many people being on food stamps is a GOOD thing?
As for "jobs"....yes, the housing market tanked in 2008 and the banks nearly collapsed which led to massive unemployment in 2009.
But the years before that? They were VERY good. And our "recovery" is nowhere NEAR the days of the hated Bush regime:
The way you are presenting your "facts" is very misleading. And is what a site like motherjones (completely in the back pocket of the Democrat party) wants you to believe.
That's why I keep trying to tell you....don't fall for the bullshit of the 2 party system in the USA.
Both the Dems and the Repubicans are totally and completely liars and full of shit.
Bush inherited a great economy from Clinton...who got it from the internet boom years in the 1990's.
The whole thing tumbled down because of the housing market collapse which was caused by...you guessed it: politicians and lifetime bureaucrats from BOTH parties in Congress and the Senate.
Pres. Obama never really focused on fixing that. He and Bush gave trillions to banks to bail them out while normal people went broke and lost everything.
They COULD have used those trillions to pay off people's mortgages. That would have saved the banks AND the citizens. But they BOTH chose to line the pockets of the bankers instead.
Stop believing propaganda from either side.
They are all crooks, and all to blame.
