Clo> We are better off then we were in 2009 & instead of being grateful & working on the policies that work these bastards would rather paint a bleak picture.


Are we really, Clo?
I don't think so. Oh, I'm better off but that is
because A.) I am still employed and B.) I have been
steady investing and living below my income level.
(I also paid off my house last year - amazing how
much one improves ones cash flow when the house is
paid off.)

Unemployment? Still too high.

Worse, many of the 'new jobs' are low paying service
type jobs. (Not high paying manufacturing.)

Romney Campaign Said to Ask Scott to Downplay Job Gains
By Michael C. Bender - Jun 21, 2012 7:32 AM ET

Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign asked Florida Governor Rick Scott to tone down his statements heralding improvements in the state’s economy because they clash with the presumptive Republican nominee’s message that the nation is suffering under President Barack Obama, according to two people familiar with the matter. 

Scott, a Republican, was asked to say that the state’s jobless rate could improve faster under a Romney presidency, according to the people, who asked not to be named.

What’s unfolding in Florida highlights a dilemma for the Romney campaign: how to allow Republican governors to take credit for economic improvements in their states while faulting Obama’s stewardship of the national economy. Republican governors in Ohio, Virginia, Michigan and Wisconsin also have highlighted improving economies.

Scott should follow the advice of the Romney campaign and it won’t undermine his own message, said Mac Stipanovich, a political strategist and lobbyist in Florida.

“This is one of those situations where you could have it both ways and there’s enough truth in it that it would resonate,” Stipanovich said. “It would be better if everybody was singing from the same hymnal.”
