What happened to all of the doom and gloom economic threads?

There are those who get their revised and up to the minute history from the Ministry Of Truth.

They need to be talking a lot less about Reagan and a lot more about James Carter...

Carter had better unemployment rates than Reagan...

Highest rate of unemployment.

Do you not get this information on American Thinker?

Look it up, buttercup.

Okay.

You just made it up.

This is exactly what I had figured...

No, I just don't have the time to sit and explain simple concepts to you.

Here's a few pictures, you like pictures:

Mr. Reagan presided over the highest unemployment rate since 1941 in 1982 and 1983. Unemployment peaked in 1982 but remained historically high throughout his presidency. Average unemployment under Mr. Reagan was 7.54%

Are you willing to admit you're wrong (or rather, American Thinker is wrong)?

It's very telling that ya'll continue to take Reagan out of context rather than to expound eloquently on the miracle of the Obama economy...

Reagan gave to the Congress that which they requested in return for a promise to cut spending.

He should have known that the Democrats were lying to him.

Good thing his policies could overcome their duplicity...

The sign of a great President - gullibility.

Coming home from an errand I was listening to Rush say that those numbers have been revised upwards 59 out of the last 60 weeks. Who can believe a thing the Obama administration says when their only motivation is making Obama look good?

Wait for more revisions.

In other words, you took your master's voice to be veracious and didn't go to the source.

How come neither you nor Rush are willing to do a year-to-date comparison? And please use the revised numbers, I insist.

I don't need to see them he does. I already know the Obama administration is manipulating the employment numbers.

You "already know"?

Because Rush told you?

Wow...

Keep on keeping dumb.

It's the exact same kind of data used by Republican administrations, isn't it?

Obamunism has tainted the government:

Poll: Gov't favorability at 15-year low

By TIM MAK | 4/26/12 4:27 PM EDT


A decade ago, Americans felt similarly about their local, state and federal governments. No longer.
Today, just one in three has a favorable view of the federal government — the lowest level in 15 years, according to a Pew survey. The majority of Americans remain satisfied with their local and state governments — 61 percent and 52 percent, respectively — but only 33 percent feel likewise about the federal government.

Obama has been president for only 3.5 of the past 10 years, bub.

I'm talking about the constant weekly revisions to the government's own numbers.

What about them?
