You can't post without blaming something on liberals anymore can you? If they forget to put the toy in your happy meal do you blame the liberals then too?

US jobless rate is pretty damn high, must be the conservatives right?

According to US figures, full employment is reached at 95%. We are at, what was it, 93.8%?

 

[Squiggy]

Its still higher than its been in 10 years.... Play with the figures anyway you want to. The truth is the truth...

The truth is the truth...

Why yes it is.

 

[flavio]

Why yes it is.

And it's the highest it's been in 9-10 years, did you miss that part?

 

[Gonz]

Did you miss the part where it's a non-story? 1.2% from full employment is prettty sweet by historical standards.

 

[Squiggy]

Then you must've been in ecstacy during the Clinton years...

 

[flavio]

Highest unemployment rate in 9-10 years IS a story. Must be those conservatives.

Oh shit, that's right Germany's jobless rate is meaningful because of their "liberal policies" ours is not even anyhting to worry about because there is a conservative in office and all the people out of work don't matter.

germany has been economically weakened for a good part of 15 years funding reunification. most of the world is experiencing a global slowdown, a lot of countries have already slid into recession - pretty much regardless of government structure.

Longest Economic Expansion in U.S. History. In February 2000, the United States entered the 107th consecutive month of economic expansion -- the longest economic expansion in history. (National Bureau of Economic Research and Council of Economic Advisors)

In that case, it started with G Bush I

Just like the economic downturn started a few months before the 2000 election.
