The facts behind unemployment include less troop deployment and actual downsizing of government, while there's still more job creation taking place than was ever the case in Dubya's two terms---which you won't hear cons even acknowledge.

Job creation is in progress but the influx of troops coming home without finding jobs plus last June's school graduates flooding the job-seeker rolls produces the current unemployment rate, and the job-seekers themselves (particularly the military job seekers) are already aware of the truth behind this situation.

If Obama's gonna run against Dubya's party, job creation on Obama's watch still trounces Dubya's record, bigtime.

Bring it.

Well, clara, the good news is that you didn't try to defend gnosisquest's ludicrous theory, the bad news is that you devised an equally fact-free one of your own.  Tell us, how many returning troops have there been to explain the last three years of unemployment?   And, I want to be sure I understand this, you are claiming that this year's June graduating class explains the rest?

The only thing is that it is not a ludicrous theory. The trickle down peddlers would like you to think so but that is what is a ludicrous theory.
The trickle down theory where the money all floats to the top is what we are still experiencing. Perhaps it will be necessary for all money to be hogged by the wealthy before you understand but net earnings should be taxed no less than 50% over 1Million.
Corporations do not need to be taxed higher than about 28% but there is no reason for anyone to net over a million!

OK, let's try again:

It makes no sense as theory, inasmuch as the wealthy person "writing off expenses" would still be worse off than one who did not.  You must, therefore, be referring to some contrary empirical evidence, eh?  Got a link?
