CBO slams Obama’s recovery as sluggish; labor force won’t recover for years

The Congressional Budget Office has more bad news for President Barack Obama: His economic recovery isn’t working — and is much worse than the previous four recoveries.

“More than four and a half years after the end of the recession, employment has risen sluggishly — much more slowly than it grew, on average, during the four previous recoveries that lasted more than one year,” the report reads.

Anyone with just a moderate understanding of what drives the economy of this country has known it for years.

Graham Summers of Phoenix went on to say ...

This was three months before Fox Business and Fox News were onto the fact that the administration was manipulating numbers and that the "job creation" was an illusion created by counting part-time work as "newly created jobs" when the reality is most of the part-time jobs are the breakdown of one full-time job into two part-time positions so businesses don't have to pay for healthcare the ACA has made unaffordable (thus giving the lie to its name).
