   All time high in 5 years? Hmmmmm, doesn’t seem to be too much of a problem. It was worse during Clinton’s reign.

   It’s not an all time hi. you’ve got your facts a little confused. It’s the highest it’s been since Bush started office. It was actually higher when clinton was in office.

   Whoever is the president can’t fix the economy. They destroyed it in 1913 with centralized banking. Setting rates, changing rates etc is a response not a proactive attempt to fix anything.

   The best thing the pres can do is actually have a plan to help reduce debt to foreign nations. What is worse than a bad economy are loans you can not repay to nations who have nuclear technology.

   As you can tell it is a problem that is and probably will continue to be ignored and we can get over it by not supporting those who continue to do so.

   These things take care of themselves.

   Lower tax rates. It creates jobs every time it is tried.

   The more I read the idiot responses the more I shake my head. I bet when you posted this question you thought that you were going to get semi intelligent answers didn’t you? I bet you weren’t expecting this!

   Good Luck

   It is interesting how 5% used to be considered normal.
   It is not the Presidents “job” to create jobs. He can’t uless he adds more gov’t jobs, but that never works for long. What we need is a Presidnet that will push for a business freindy environment and ranting about “windfall taxes” and rich executives.
   Remember, “You can’t help the wage earner by bringing down the wage payer.”

   Oh and I knew there would job loss with the increase in minimum wage.

   You’ll probably never hear any of the canadates speak on this issue per say. The damage is done as far as outsorcing jobs here in the states but i fear that the economy will never regain the status it once had. But i hope your right that both parties needs to come together and get this country’s employment back on track.

   We have lost 605,000 jobs this year so far.
   Now I’m going to say something shocking for many, government can’t do anything about it. This is the result of years of trickle down, unregulated economics coming to fruition. Like an avalanche, it can’t be halted halfway down the mountain.
   Everyone knows we need a solution, but just as the problem has been in action for a long time, the solution will be an anathema to the right which has been vigorous in support of less taxes even on companies that export jobs, and less protectionist trade acts, and very supportive of policies that make the rich richer, and the middle class that truly supports our economy disappear.
   That is the heart and soul of the Repubican party now, while they seem to be suffering from amnesia at their latest convention, forgetting they have been the party in power that they now want to reform and change, their basic belief is that rich people make jobs with the money they keep.
   But they don’t say where those jobs are, they aren’t in Detroit, they aren’t in LA, and they aren’t in NY.

    When Clinton took over from Bush Sr in January of 1993, the Unemployment Rate was 7.3%. When Clinton left office, the Unemployment Rate was 3.9%. Now, at the end of Bush Jrs time in office, the Unemployment Rate is 6.1%. The numbers speak for themselves.
