That was 6 years ago. Dubya, I believe, is still competing with Herbert Hoover for the worst job performance figures.
Yup, everyone agrees Dubya sucks, but we were talking about wages.
That's not even taking into consideration WHAT KIND of jobs have been created. The US is turning into an also-ran economic backwater. Just ask GM and Ford.
MSFT, CSCO, Hollywood, GOOG, INTC, QCOM and numerous other US companies that are rapidly growing and virtually global monopolies in their industries disagree with you. Economic backwaters don't have 95% employment.
I don;t know what kind of jobs have been created in the past 6 years, but everyone I know my age has a decent job, has had one for most of the past 6 years, a few have changed jobs a few times, and outside of SI I don't hear these complaints in real life. You can quote all the stats you want (even though you didn't quote any), the US economy seems to be doing well by all the guages that I see in real life.
To think otherwise is to be an utterly stupid individual.
Not just stupid, but utterly stupid? Wow. I hope you don't meet many people that disagree with you, because it wouldn't be very fun for you living amongst a collection of utterly stupid individuals. Much better if everyone agrees with you, and then you can all be smart together. Or maybe it would be best if you just stayed home... |
