    Sounds like the kind of thing you would ridicule even if it's against your interests. 13,000 jobs means 13,000 families won't need those Obama food stamps.

    You think a libertarian cares about the state recouping money it shouldn't tax in the first place? Maybe you need to get a better understanding of the philosophy.

    The market that does so well is indeed a by-product of Obama's willingness to spend us into debt oblivion.

    The Fed, in order to keep our debt interest payments low on all that we owe, cut interest rates so low that the only place to save money and beat inflation was the stock market. Why keep money in a savings account at .5% interest?

    Obama's spending and the fed printing money only masked how bad things were. If you have a $1T economy and borrow $1T on top of that, you have a $2T economy and that $2T is no real measure of our success. The $1T is the true measure. And by that measure, Obama's economy was downright terrible.

    If Obama's strategy is so great, everyone should go out and charge up their charge cards to the max, buying insurance and food and cell phones. Let's see what that gets you after a while.

    Obama's deficits added up to $7.5T over 8 years.

    W's deficits added up to $3T over his 8 years.

    Thank goodness Obama cut his deficits.

    gazillion....sure....get back to me on how correct that is....if eliminate 70 percent of a deficit, the obvious answer to you then would be that's a bad thing? Now building a wall on the border.....that's flushing money down the toilet...without post 9/11 Katrina bailouts....there might not be a toilet to flush money down...

    Gazillion indicates a very large number. I leave how large to your imagination.

    I don't want a wall. There's no need if we do what needs to be done. No jobs or welfare, they won't come.

    Besides, if there's a wall and we need to evacuate south we're fucked. I wonder how much the wall would cost with turnstiles built in that let us go south.

    Oh and gazillion, already posted this. It's pretty obvious.

    you accuse dviss of meaningless statistics.....that's how large your imagination must be then.....which is my point...we all dodged a bullet after 9/11 that required debt.....we're paying that debt and that debt is quite a bit of leverage with the Chinese whether recognized at not....the US has a long history of forgiving foreign debt and the Chinese economy is directly tied to the American consumer....they're not cashing in those chips anytime soon.....unless Trump declares war on China....fingers crossed that that never happens

    We dodged no bullet.

    We just spent a lot of money.

    In fact, if we didn't spend all that money, it's likely we'd have had a much stronger and faster recovery and far less debt.

    That many people only needed foodstamps because Obamanomics was a failure.
