Rest in peace Dr Hellman...but I would like to know where he got these figures for net jobs and we are still at 9% unemployment??? I dont buy into that the rate would be higher without Obama

The "public" (read government) sector is the "non-productive" sector. They produce nothing (generally speaking). All "public sector" employees are paid by private sector wealth. So if you want to make people richer...and grow the economy...the way to do it is cut the public sector and get out of the way of the private sector.

I don't know what you expose yourself to, but this looks EXACTLY like what I've seen and heard in the news, newspapers, and government reports. The recession heading into the election was massive. Simply massive. A massive recession like that can't just immediately right itself. It takes time, hence the "pendulum" reference I see a lot in reports. Private sector job cuts were increasing, going into the election. They slowed down afterwards, eventually, albeit slowly, returned to positive, just exactly like this chart shows. I see no spin here.

this sure doesn't match what I know and am exposed too? What is the source of the data and what is the population that is included. Looks like a lot of spin.
