>>You said Obama.
You said recession. ;-)
>>Obama took office in 2009.
>>Unemployment that year reached 9.9% and GDP growth was -2.5%
>>Not hard to figure why deficits skyrocket with those numbers.
Agreed. But I'm not the one putting up a pictorial of 3 republican presidents with voiceover extolling Obama's budget neutrality so you can call Schultz wrong and allow the audience to cheer another political hit on the GOP, yay!
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
