Pj misses the point. Chilly points out the high GDP & how well the economy is doing. I point out that if the economy is doing so well, why are so few people working & so many on food stamps. Boiler points out that one of the factors for economic growth is deficit spending.

Pj assumes everyone on food stamps is eligible, which is unlikely.

The number of people on food stamps under ObeyMe has increased by almost 50%. Did the population of seniors, kids or disabled increase at the same rate?

A strong economy means more people working for better wages and fewer people qualifying for welfare of any kind. Keep telling us how good things are now while ignoring the truth.

The GAI reports that food stamp fraud is rampant

Do Liberals on this site show concern over how Obama's borrowing ($112,000 per federal tax payer) will be paid for?

Think about that number for those who pay federal taxes! If both you and your spouse earn enough money to contribute taxes to the till, Obama borrowed $224,000 on your behalf. Where I live, that buys a nice house yet I don't have a second house to show for it.

We all know that we borrowed too much during the Reagan and Bush years, so let's attempt to talk about something that can be controlled...............current spending. It's difficult to lower past spending, but now that I think about it Obama will likely succeed at this.

Here we go again.

Chilcoot and PJ post actual facts about a growing economy, record high for the DOW, unemployment numbers that have dropped substantially in the past 6 years.........

........and all the "usual suspects" here on the LVA do a pathetic "Debbie Downer" imitation and trot out the tired Faux/Koch talking points/lies.

Will you Republican sheep ever get a clue ? You are being played for fools by the multi-billionaires on Faux and AM fright wing radio to do their dirty work.

For all the constant 24/7 bitching and moaning you do here on the FFA, I would venture to guess you are being paid to spout their lies and half truths. If not, well......


Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays !!

Unemployment is way down, yet far fewer folks are working. It's like magic!

Now that we're on the subject of magic, how will we pay for Obama's $112,000 of borrowing per tax payer?

So assuming you're telling the truth about that figure (yeah, I know), how much of that $112,000 was from increased federal spending, and how much was due to decreased revenue caused by the Great Recession?

I bet you don't want to answer that question.

From the Delusioners' Handbook: When the facts prove your dogma wrong, never admit you are in error; in fact, loudly proclaim that the evidence is wrong, then proclaim even more loudly that your dogma absolutely correct!

Great job Obama is doing on that black unemployment figure...How many millions of black folks now have a job under Obama? Or was that food stamps?
