Employment/Unemployment

[Bo D]

Yet ol' G.W. Bush holds the record for the most number of people added to the food stamp rolls.

U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition service for month-by-month figures going back to January 2001 show that under President George W. Bush the number of recipients rose by nearly 14.7 million. Nothing before comes close to that.

Yo, Hank! Found anything to refute this yet?

And you want to claim that is Obama's fault?  You truly are an idiot.

The real problems with the economy can be laid at the feet of Laissez Faire capitalism and capitalistic policies - all those things you corporatists just love!

If Obama really started to correct that in any manner, you RW/TP idiots would be screaming 'Socialism/Communism!, Socialist/Communist!' all over the place...

...OH! Wait!  You are!  ; )

If you owned a business would you want to have the government telling you how to run it, including what you had to pay your employees, and willingly hand over 50% or more to the government in tax's on your earnings/profits? I'd like for all of you libs/progressives,dems, to answer that one.

There are a myriad of government regulations that control how businesses must be run.

I know that but you're ilk are wanting more controls. Now answer my question.

I think he did. Government has controls in that tell how a business should be ran and what percent of taxes are to be paid.

Yo, Hank! Found anything to refute this yet?

In 2001, there were around 17 million on food stamps, in 2008 there were around 27 million.
In 2009 there were around 33 million and we no have around 48 million.

I would say this will refute it.



What is worse it the COST exploded under Obama




This chart show a different amount, but you can clearly see the skyrocket in participation AFTER Bush left.

What controls does my 'ilk' want?  Be specific.

It actually supports it.

Under Bush, the cost of the SNAP program increased every year for a total increase of $36 billion, a more than 200% increase over the cost of the program when he took office.  Under Obama so far, it has increased less than $21 billion, slightly more than a 38% increase, and the costs for 2014 were $5 billion lower than for 2013.

Here's another interesting factoid: During the Reagan/Bush era in the 80's and early 90's, the cost of the program more than doubled.  It decreased by more than a third during Clinton's administration.

Don't you hate those pesky facts?

[Bo D]

It actually supports it.

Can the Hawk even read a graph? It's like when he posted here trying to blame unemployment on Obama when the graph he posted clearly showed it skyrocketing during the Bush administration.

Maybe THIS, will make more sense to you.....IT IS the SAME comparison to when Bush was in office.....I agree, why people with ninth grade educations can't see that is beyond me.

Unemployment Rate - U6 2000 - 2014

Not only that but he was totally DISHONEST in posting those food stamp charts.

They want the government to control how much employees make, how much profit companies make, and how much CEO's are paid. Then on top of that they want to tax them at over 50% on their earnings.

They already control that.

...how much profit companies make, and how much CEO's are paid. Then on top of that they want to tax them at over 50% on their earnings.

Please provide your source for these inane claims.

Your question is stupid and based on lies.

Nice way to avoid answering my question.  Typical lib/dem/progressive way to handle a question they either can't or don't want to answer.

Bullshit.  Since no one is limiting the amount of profit a company can make or how much the CEO can be paid nor is anyone demanding any company turn over 50% of their profits, your question is about as valid as asking how someone would like it if the government demanded they be allowed to shove a carving knife up the ass of any business owner.

I do believe this administration is wanting to raise tax's on businesses, dictate a min wage, and what say constitutes full time employment.
