I am with you Dr. Canuck!!! All the ridiculous arguements about unemployment insurance - do people not understand that you don’t get it if you did not WORK!!!????
Whiskey Tango Foxtrot - I paid taxes for that INSURANCE and if I need it - I am going to USE IT!!!!!!
ANDY - The problem is the amount of real unemployment that Bush gave us — why why why can’t you understand that it is true that millions of American’s lost their job, which also means that millions of business went out of business – there, as they say on Mythbusters “is your problem.”
According to liar Andy the recession wasn’t Bush’s fault and all of the unemployment was caused by Obama, or his always like to say BosOTUS.
Andy if lies could get us out of this recession then you would be our #1 hope.
^^^ http://www.read-news.info/financial/unemployment-chart-of-the-day/ - Looks like Clinton wins. From what I found, Clinton enjoyed around 4.0% unemployment.
The Clinton years were unquestionably a time of progress, especially on the economy […] Clinton’s 1992 slogan, ‘Putting people first,’ and his stress on ‘the economy, stupid,’ pitched an optimistic if still gritty populism at a middle class that had suffered under Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush. […] By the end of the Clinton presidency, the numbers were uniformly impressive. Besides the record-high surpluses and the record-low poverty rates, the economy could boast the longest economic expansion in history; the lowest unemployment since the early 1970s; and the lowest poverty rates for single mothers, black Americans, and the aged

Incidentally I believe the 5.2% was in 2002. What was Bush’s unemployment in 2008?

What’s your point, Libby? That’s like the old joke, “I fell 75 feet without a scratch! Unfortunately, I’d fallen from a height of 80 feet!”

AHAHAHAHAHAHA!
That old GOP line, when a Democrat is in the whitehouse and GOP control congress, anything good that happens is because of the GOP congress.
Conversely, GOP President, Democrat congress, anything good that happens is because of the GOP President.
Hmmm, interesting pattern here, I think it’s called delusion.
