It's Official: The Stimulus Didn't Help

[Mr.Canada]

Over 93,000 new jobs were created in Ontario last month. Also more new jobs were created in Canada then the USA and they have 10x our population. Canada's economy is doing great just the left is too scared to admit it.

Oh and Obama's approval ratings are in the toilet, he'll be a one term president who did absolutely nothing with his term, lol. Where is this hope? Where is the change he promised?

Despite how popular Obama is in Canada, we are quite lucky Harper was at the helm, someone who actually knows how an economy works, and not Obama. It's really too bad Hilary didn't eek out a win for the nomination, she had momentum at the end of the contest as Obama's flaws were getting traction.

So today the employment rate in the US rose from 9.6 to 9.8. Not good news for Obama, who is currently playing games with the 'Bush' tax cut issue, instead of making a decision that tells business what their tax bills will be next year. The uncertainty is never good for an economy, and the unemployment rate bears this out. Also, the tax uncertainty is going to cause a sell off in the Dow around Dec. 15, the Drudge Report says, because capital gain tax rates would also be affected unless Obama steps in. Since he hasn't, people will sell stocks to avoid being hit at a higher rate.

What a surprise, government couldn't spend its way out of debt, too bad they're still trying, it's take us 40 years to pay for their failed stimuls policies (or should I say 'Vote Buying' policies).
