It works best for the privilged, like Mitt Romney. Corporate profits are at an all-time high, and the stock market has doubled since 2008. Obama? Maybe?
The stock market was over 14,000 in late 2007 under Bush. The market rebounded from a crash, but still hasn't gotten that high. Does that make Bush superior? And remember that those great profits under Obama haven't filtered to the middle class which is shrinking. Why would you want more of that? Obama? Really?
The truth is that in the panic of 2008-2009 companies shed millions of employees and used technology to make up the difference. Smaller payrolls has translated into bigger profits. If we are to put people back to work there has to be growth in the economy. The problem is well known, why isn't Obama doing everything possible to make that happen?
