) Going back at least 30 years(but if you choose you can go further since not only are you a great "joke" teller, you must be a historian) could you tell me who was President of the United States of America when in this time frame the unemployment rate dropped BELOW 4%. Going back 30 years.....none. According to BLS data. 2) Based on the answer to #1, could you tell me who was the subsequent President that has a CURRENT nation unemployment rate that is 20% HIGHER that this aforementioned rate of under 4%? Gee could that be the same current presidents who's unemployement numbers are are about 40% lower than Jimmy Carters ever were? I can cherry pick useless data too! 3)Historical and for nearly two hundred years of our nation's history we as a country became the creditors to the WORLD. Under which President did our nation become a DEBTOR nation. I know the answer, but my question would be who controlled the spending (Congress), and which party held the majority when that happened? Additionally, was that President the first one to be in office that had more outlays than receipts?, Or are you just picking another useless data point? 5)What President was in the White House when this nation had the largest and most projected economic expansion in the history of our nation? The current one, according to GDP. research.stlouisfed.org OJ: A Japanese doctor says, "Medicine in my country is so advanced that we can take a kidney out of one man, put it in another, and have him out looking for work in six weeks." A German doctor says, "That is nothing. We can take a lung out of one person, put it in another, and have him out looking for work in four weeks." A British doctor says, "In my country medicine is so advanced we can take half a heart out of one person, put it in another, and have both of them out looking for work in two weeks." The American doctor, not to be outdone, interjected, "You guys are way behind. We are about to take a woman with no brains, make her President, and then half the country will be out looking for work in one week."

The Haircut One day a florist goes to a barber for a haircut. After the cut he asked about his bill and the barber replies, 'I cannot accept money from you. I'm doing community service this week.' The florist was pleased and left the shop. When the barber goes to open his shop the next morning there is a 'thank you' card and a dozen roses waiting for him at his door. Later, a cop comes in for a haircut, and when he tries to pay his bill, the barber again replies, 'I cannot accept money from you. I'm doing community service this week.' The cop is happy and leaves the shop. The next morning when the barber goes to open up there is a 'thank you' card and a dozen donuts waiting for him at his door. Later that day, a college professor comes in for a haircut, and when he tries to pay his bill, the barber again replies, 'I cannot accept money from you. I'm doing community service this week.' The professor is very happy and leaves the shop. The next morning when the barber opens his shop, there is a 'thank you' card and a dozen different books, such as 'How to Improve Your Business' and 'Becoming More Successful. 'Then, a Congressman comes in for a haircut, and when he goes to pay his bill the barber again replies, 'I cannot accept money from you. I'm doing community service this week.' The Congressman is very happy and leaves the shop. The next morning when the barber goes to open up, there are a dozen Congressmen lined up waiting for a free haircut. And that, my friends, illustrates the fundamental difference between the citizens of our country and the members of our Congress.-- Vote carefully this year.
