". . . the economy has recovered all the jobs lost to the Great Recession."

Unemployment is 6.3%, the labor participation rate is at the lowest point in more than 40 years.

There is a definite problem with that arithmetic.

What I really find hilarious, though, is the term "great recession" -- it was a minor blip that became a "great recession" as a result of idiotic policy from the Obama administration. How about, "The Great Obama Recession?"

For the first time since 1999, American employers have added 200,000 jobs per month for 4 straight months

Dude, GW Bush NEVER EVER had one quarter where job growth averaged 200K. They had to go back to the Clinton era.

NEVER EVER
