That moment when you realize Obama was a much better president than Bush..
I was going to work as a operator for the keystone xl now I'm jobless and can't afford to feed my wife's kid

That's not a compliment or a feat.
Not much of an achievment

>5% unemployment
HAHAHAHAHA
Only an idiot would swallow the cooked numbers offered by the WH.
>>71545582
>can't afford to feed my wife's kids
Shoulda thought of that when you became a cuck
Unemployment is actually above 30% given the states welfare recipients nationwide.
>>71545473
THANKS OBAMA!
>>71546055
While we're making up numbers, I heard it was 94%.
>>71545473
You're retarded if you believe unemployment is at 5%
>>71545819
>>71547055
The U3 unemployment rate has been the official rate for decades.
It was never controversial until a black man became president and right wingers lost their shit.
>>71545473
debt 18 trillion dollars
>better president
i wonder what i could have accomplished with an extra 8 trillion dollars..
lol
>>71546807
That's just retarded though.
Mine is backed by welfare statistics.
>>71545473
late Bush/ early Obama was not too shabby for my parents
they always wanted to invest in some housing, but 2006 saw prices skyrocket. Once the housing bubble crashed, they gobbled up homes (without selling their own). Now my retired father makes a decent income on collecting rent from tenants and maintaining houses.
I hope to do the same once there is another housing crash in the not-to-distant future. It helps how people in this country are retarded with spending and saving money
>>71547282
If Obama were as bad as Reagan, the national debt would be $30 TRILLION.
>>71547334
Prove it faggot
>>71547334
No it isn't. Yours is just made up. Every rate of unemployment from U3 to U6 has plummeted under Obama.
>>71547175
No, no it hasn't. They've been cooking the books for ages and economists especially those who adhere to the Austrian school have been highlighting this for decades. The real unemployment rate (which is not cooked) is at around 20-30%, the rate you linked only counts those who are *searching for jobs within the past 4 weeks*.

You're an actual idiot
U3 is shit
40% of Americans above the age of 16 (working age) are not working, alot of those are students and stay at hoe wives so that does skew the numbers BUT the real unemployment rate of working Americans looking for work is around 20%

You're the actual idiot. We know exactly why people aren't in the labor force.

Keystone was a good idea though.
I don't think he was a terrible president. Most of his hate is generated from his general snobbery towards working class Americans.
I'm really not a hater, it's just aggravated that he was supposed to be this liberating figure, but race-relations are worst they have been in 50 some years, and honestly he's not responsible for the bailouts and all that nonsense

>>71547949
Oh my god that picture just gave me cancer. Implementing any minimum wage just puts workers who can't produce that wage's labor on welfare. Over the long term, it inflates the dollar because when you give people money for no reason, money loses it's value. This protects the interests of the labor unions and makes it so they have the power, not the enfranchised worker or employer.
>>71549402
>Obama economy creating 14x more jobs than Bush

What is the point in making these threads? I have no idea if Obama was good or not, however if this is the same Canadian who constantly debates on these thread. Jesus Christ, you are as sad as the gays who come and scream on /pol/ they want to be treated as equal.
No one here gives a shit if Obama did good, he's a nigger at the end of the day. He could have solved every issue in the US and /pol/ would still hate him. Stop being such a dense fuck.

Economic morons like you think it's good for the economy for corporations to stash trillions in dead money offshore.
>>71549495
Yeah but it's all just another bubble waiting to pop. We'll probably be in recession before the years out, and we might already be in one. Not to mention most of those jobs are part time anyway. If Obama's economy was really doing well for the average American we wouldn't see Trump and Bernie with this kind of support.

They have to manipulate these, it's part of the fed's policy and if they didn't they would like like a failure. 92 million working age people are unemployed, consider that.
>>71549495
Yea but poverty is higher than under Bush, real gdp growth on average was lower, the housing market is way worse, the debt doubled and then some, we're still in the middle East and the world's economy is much better than it was under W. So don't give me that shit that Obama was a great president. He gets a C- at best.
>>71549593
1. you are a leaf who cares what you think

3. using Occupy Democrats as a source means you are a Soros paid shill or a fucking retard
I never realized it, it was obvious from the beginning. Democrats are identical to republicans in the most important policies but they're at least more competent.
Trump > McAfee > Clinton > Sanders > Kasich > Cruz
>>71549495
mostly part time jobs, not paying a lot.
>>71549440
Wal-Mart is able to do that because of the subsidies. They don't have to provide these things because they're still the best option for the low skilled worker, whose labor would be worth a lot more if he wasn't the victim of forced dollar inflation. The answer is less subsidies, let those who work the market take over and the market will be there to help everyone. Why would a company want to help it's workers? Because happy workers keep working at their business, and happy workers work. It's these parasites that are trying to take away people's fear of the future by giving the burden to their children. They are literally taking candy from a baby.

Posting from another anon:
THE MISLEADING CLAIM: These 8 CEOs get paid so much that they clearly can afford to raise their worker's wages to $15 per hour.
THE REALITY: As we'll demonstrate below, the math proves this claim is questionable, at best.
JC PENNY:
• 114,000 employees [1]
• CEO pay: $4,629 per hour per the meme.
Each employee could get a $0.04 per hour raise if the CEO's pay were entirely eliminated.
CHIPOTLE:
• 53,090 employees [2]
• CEO pay: $13,489 per hour per the meme.
Each employee could get a $0.25 per hour raise if the CEO's pay were entirely eliminated.
Note, part of why Chipotle's CEO (Steve Ells) is so highly compensated is because he holds TWO positions, rather than just one, also serving as Chipotle’s chairman. [3]
Another interesting point? Chipotle ALREADY pays its workers more than comparable fast food outlets, such as Taco Bell, Chick-fil-A, McDonald's, Wendy's, and Burger King. [4]
DUNKIN DONUTS:
• 260,000 employees [5]
• CEO pay: $4,889 per hour per the meme.
Each employee could get a $0.01 (technically 0.018) per hour raise if the CEO's pay were entirely eliminated.
DOMINOS:
• 11,000 employees [6]
• CEO pay: $3,571 per hour per the meme.
Each employee could get a $0.32 per hour raise if the CEO's pay were entirely eliminated.
WENDY'S:
• 31,200 employees [7]
• CEO pay: $3,465 per hour per the meme.
Each employee could get a $0.11 per hour raise if the CEO's pay were entirely eliminated.
WAL-MART:
• 2,200,000 employees [8]
• CEO pay: $2,704 per hour per the meme.
Each employee could get a $0.00 (technically 0.001) per hour raise if the CEO's pay were entirely eliminated.
STAR-BUCKS:
• 191,000 employees [9]
• CEO pay: $10,285 per hour per the meme.
Each employee could get a $0.05 per hour raise if the CEO's pay were entirely eliminated.
(Cont.)
Reagan was an idiot didn't he launch the war on drugs?
>>71547432
Obama raised the debt by 10 trillion
Unemployment is hovering around 25%.
>>71551427
I've already linked a chart that shows that every measure from U3 to U6 has plummeted under Obama.
That's not a facebook meme. That's from the official source.
>>71547487
Here's the U4. I bet you can't reply and type out what it says at the top of the chart.
>>71551548
MACY'S:
• 166,900 employees [10]
• CEO pay: $7,904 per hour per the meme.
Each employee could get a $0.04 (technically 0.047) per hour raise if the CEO's pay were entirely eliminated.
CONCLUSION:
Considering that this meme took annual CEO pay and simply divided it up into 40 hour work weeks despite the fact that CEOs of top firms routinely work over 40 hours a week [11], it already was guilty of significantly over-inflating CEO's hourly wages. But even if one takes the meme's inaccurate estimates at face value, it's conclusion proves to be entirely false, never the less. You could literally eradicate 100% of CEO pay from each of these companies and never even come close to a 50 cent per hour raise for workers, never mind nearly doubling minimum wages to $15 per hour. This claim is demonstrably false.

Omg you are beyond an idiot. We're not saying take from the CEO pay and give it to the workers. We're saying pay $15 per hour and Walmart will have to make do with in $13 BILLION in profits instead of $14 BILLION. Will they be ok?
>>71551049
>>>71547949
They also borrow more, further deepening and the debt wound.
C'mon anon you're smarter than this. If we paid back 1 billion dollars a day it would take 50 years to neutralize the debt. Even worse, we continue to sink about 2 billion dollars a day in debt.
Obama should have focused more on this during his presidency than healthcare.
But then again, you are a Canada.
>>71551465
Why are right wingers so retarded though? Is there something wrong with their brains?
>>71551445
No, I don't, but that info-graphic is still retarded.
The only reason Obama raised the debt us because President Bush pretty much handed him the worst situation ever. Bush policies led to the recession. Luckily Obama has been creating jobs ever since and that is really low unemployment by any measure. Thanks Obama.
>>71548224
Welfare is the main reason these people are not motivated to pursue more lucrative employment opportunities you stupid faggot. They earn more, they lose their benefits. Why bother?

So then you admit you've posted doctored numbers, that the obongo white house doctored to look better.
They were sick of people showing his failing presidency, and changed how the numbers add up, by counting a part time job a job and disavowed all people fed up by the job market.
Because of his forced healthcare, employers aren't hiring anything but part time so THEY aren't responsible for paying health care.
So to survive, most poor people have to have 3 part time jobs. So your counting one person 3 times, using your numbers.

Once the ACA was implemented, many employees had their hours cut because companies would be forced to pay for their employees' healthcare.

There are 9,500,000 Americans out of work. So 9,500,000 minus 271,000 = too many fucking illegal workers in the country. Deport the 12,000,000 people currently here working illegally, and you get a surplus of jobs versus a surplus of workers. A surplus of workers means employers would be forced to compete for employees. How fast do you think "full benefits" & "pensions" & all the other cool shit employers were able to offer in years past, but somehow are not able to offer now?

~1,600,000 part-time jobs eliminated over the course of 4 years. Missing from the picture is *why*. Of course, the article naturally assumes it's because they all got full-time jobs. Although it is also a possibility that these people have dropped out of the workforce instead of finding full-time employment.
>Third graph: Same as second but instead show part-time work as a share of the entire labor force
Drop of about 20%, where we went from 6% part-time to 5% part-time. We'll discuss this in the second post.
>Fourth and Fifth (pic related) graphs: Part-time work as a share of labor force again but this time going back to 1980, and a comparison between that and Civilian Unemployment Rate
This pair of graphs demonstrates the correlation between part-time work and unemployment, i.e. when people lose their jobs they grab the first thing they can to keep afloat.
Also this graph shows, between 2010 and 2015, a comparative downturn in unemployment rate to part-time work. This is to say, unemployment is dropping faster than part-time jobs are going away... which does not indicate at all a growth in full-time jobs.

>Source: San Fran Fed http://www.frbsf.org/economic-research/publications/economic-letter/2013/august/part-time-work-employment-increase-recession/
Here the article claims that the reason that most people who work part-time do so for personal reasons, not for a lack of better jobs. Which is strange to claim given that not only does the graph show an upturn in part-time work for economic and combined economic/personal reasons, but also the San Fran Fed concludes:
>We have shown that part-time work is not unusually high relative to levels observed in the past, most notably in the aftermath of the early 1980s recession. However, while the availability of young workers age 16 to 24 in the labor force is declining, the prevalence of part-time work has increased in that group. In addition, part-time work has been rising among selected groups of prime-age workers age 25 to 54, primarily those with limited education. Moreover, involuntary part-time work, that is, part-time work for economic reasons, remains high. These factors have fueled speculation that elevated rates of part-time work may be here to stay. However, it is more probable that the continued high incidence of individuals working part time for economic reasons reflects a slow recovery of the jobs lost during the recession rather than permanent changes in the proportion of part-time jobs.
Which is where we return to the third graph, where part-time work went from 6% to 5%. Combine the San Fran Fed conclusion with graph three and two it becomes clear that the reason the share of part-time work comparative to the labor force has decreased is because of full-time job retention by older employees and a contraction of the workforce for younger people who are disproportionately stuck with part-time work *if they are able to find work at all*.

Bush had a GOP Congress. Remind me how many budget surpluses he had? Oh that's right zero.
>>71555940
Stop listening to the 0 debt meme from the media. First of all, those "debt free" projections were just that- projections.They came at the peak of an 18 year bubble in stocks, low interest rates, and enormous economic activity. Clinton wanted to expand spending but ran into 2 problems, the first was the serious effort by republicans to balance the budget. Remember when the government really shut down? Republicans. Clinton also got stomped by the bond market, when he wanted to drive debt higher the bond market sold off treasuries and drove the interest rate higher which made more spending less feasible, clinton's own staff commented on the power of the bond market. So no, the president doesn't determine spending, he just signs the paper. He can recommend anything he wants but it's ultimately up to congress as the 1990s showed.

FLASHBACK: In 1993, GOP Warned That Clinton’s Tax Plan Would ‘Kill Jobs,’ ‘Kill The Current Recovery’
http://thinkprogress.org/economy/2010/08/10/173450/1993-quotes/
>Rep. Newt Gingrich (R-GA), February 2, 1993: We have all too many people in the Democratic administration who are talking about bigger Government, bigger bureaucracy, more programs, and higher taxes. I believe that that will in fact kill the current recovery and put us back in a recession. It might take 1 1/2 or 2 years, but it will happen. (Congressional Record, 1993, Thomas)
I guess you forget (or weren't born yet) that Newt was turfed by his own party in 1998.
You also seem to forget that Republicans were far more interested in spending $100 MILLION taxpayer dollars investigating Bill Clinton's penis and impeaching him than doing anything about the economy.

But Clinton did actually have 3 budget surpluses. We know what happened to the budget surplus. It was wasted by Bush on tax cuts, wars, defense spending, and Medicare Part D.
-Added $9 Trillion in debt (More debt than added by all US presidents from Washington to Bush — combined).
-Lowered "U3" unemployment rate by doubling the number of Americans collecting welfare to its highest level in US history (Those people aren't counted in the U3 but are counted in the U6 calculus for unemployment)
-Doubled the number of people collecting food stamps to its highest level in US history — 65 million (Greater than the entire population of Spain).
-Doubled the number of non-injured, working-age Americans who have left the work force to its highest level in US history — over 98 million.
-Created an economy that never saw an annual GDP growth above 1.5%. Seven years of sub-2% GDP growth in the Obama presidency — No president has ever had more than two years of sub-2% growth.
