Barack Obama: The private sector is doing fine... and everybody lives happily ever after. Tell me another one, Daddy!
Girl: Tell me another one, Daddy!
Zoid, your corruption is showing, or maybe you’re just an idiot, though I doubt it. Private sector profits are the highest they have ever been under Obama, but the GOP decided that they had to concentrate on the first six words Obama uttered, because the remainder of his speech laid bare the cynical GOP plan to fire cops, teachers, and firefighters during a time when America desperately needs jobs AND more teachers, cops, and firefighters.
Most of the businesses in my town and my region, went bust, from 2003 to 2009, it wasn’t Obama, my friends. The federal resources, and jobs, are the only thing that maintains any economic base. If the “corporate folks” were actually paying fair market value for those resources, the taxpayers would be getting their money’s worth. But when fees haven’t gone up since 1872 for minerals, or 1932 in the case of grazing, one COULD assume they’ve not seen those “corporate costs of doing business” affected by inflation?
It all depends where you stand, I guess. Personally, and among the people I know, we are way better off now than we were 10 years ago. I realize it might not be that way across the board though. I agree w/ Obama, but based solely on my perspective.
I think he meant wall street is doing fine. The Wall street crooks and gamblers are doing just fine. I don’t think he was talking about modest gains, like my Son Got a Job that he had lost during the last part of Bush’s mess.

Doing far better than the public sector, especially those in the 1% who aren’t exactly what I’d call “labor”. (and neither would they!)

How can the private sector be doing fine when you are trying to drive more and more of our jobs overseas?

Corporate profits are up, why do they complain? Oh, yeah, they want their own guy in the White House.
