Hey here is an idea…how about some of our candidates mention the way the economy was in 2008 and how it is now? Maybe they are afraid of being considered to be bragging?
The stock market has doubled in value,deficit spending cut in half, 11 million private sector jobs. We have come a long way. Why people are so down Obama is a mystery to me.
Unemployment rate:
-Reagan enters office: …7.5%
-This point in Reagan’s term: …7.1%
-Obama enters office…7.8%
-Now: …5.9%
