A Million Times Better

TPM: The U.S. economy added an estimated 171,000 jobs in October, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics monthly employment report released Friday.

In November 2008, the country lost 803,000 jobs. Now we're gaining nearly 200,000 per month.  That's 33 straight months of job growth and nearly a million jobs a month better than the last time the GOP was in charge. Unemployment is down from over 10% to under 8%.  In case you've forgotten what things were like in 2008/2009, we're here to help.

Going beyond the jobs front, the DOW is twice what is was when Obama took over, GDP is up, and we're not all watching the news to see when we're going to have to run down to the bank and pound on the glass to try and get our money out before the entire system collapses.  Whatever you think about the economy now, you have to realize it's much better than it was when the GOP was in charge.  We're improving.

Unless you're a fan of complete economic and fiscal meltdown, it would be beyond crazy to let the team that caused it back into power now.
