How about 1.3% growth?


Old data.

The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in the United States expanded 2.00 percent in the third quarter of 2012

There was a dip in the second quarter. It is increasing now. 4th quarter will be better yet.



Government can hire people (at taxpayer's expense). But create jobs? No. They are two different things.


Umm, when they hire people, those people have jobs. When those people have jobs, they spend money. When people spend money, they create economic activity.

Your thesis seems to be that schoolteachers, police, fire fighters and military people don't have real jobs. Which seems sort of strange.
