Since Obama took office and we've gone full retard Keynesianism, Obama's economy has created on average 86,272K civilian jobs per month. The labor force grows about 200K per month. Oops. Keynesianism money printing doesn't seem to be bringing us much in the way of sustainable prosperity. Can I get fries with that burger your flipping?

Apparently, you either don't pay close attention, or never get off Zero Hedge's website but last year saw this country's BEST job growth since 1999 despite the fact that Japan and the EU were hovering between recession and expansion, and China's growth has turned sluggish:

MM, truth is, you aren't either trying any more.

You're averaging in the first year, when he inherited an economy losing 500k jobs per month, depression levels. He's done well considering the circumstances. And yes Keynesianism has done well. As projected by the vast majority of the worlds economists.

Teddy and roadwalker are clueless and love keyenesianism... Running a business is beyond them. Understanding debt repayment is not a factor in their lives.

Teddy still thinks Scott Walker lost his recall vote.

Full retard doesnt begin to cover what's between their ears.

If only. While there was a glimmer of Keynesian economics in the beginning, i.e. the stimulus, we have been full retard Austrian School for the most part ever since. What kind of moron implements austerity measures during a recovery? A country with a death wish that's who. If it wasn't abundantly clear that it is a galactically stupid idea, the European countries who went full austerity during the recovery proved it. Every one of them, without fail, slid back into recession. Sometimes more than once. And there was a direct correlation between the degree of austerity and how badly their economies suffered.

As to those job figures. Here is something to do. Go through and only count private sector employment. Because of our austerity measures, local, state and federal employment went down, a lot. So much that it was a significant drag on employment numbers.
