Larry “Fact Checker” Jacobs challenged as my opinion studies
by the Congressional Research Service and The Wall Street Journal reporting
that “(At) an annual average rate of 2.1% growth since the end of the
recession, (this is) the weakest pace of any expansion since at least
1949.” (http://tinyurl.com/htesk9m)
Forbes Magazine noted the same earlier (8/1/12), as had
Investor’s Business Daily (12/31/15).
Mr. Jacobs, the Washington Times agrees with you that the
stock market has done very well, although: “The stock market closed down for
2015 reversing one of the few positive accomplishments under the Barack Obama
presidency. This has been a pretty prosperous time for the top two percent. For
most Americans though — not so much.
"A new report from Sentier Research based on Census
data finds that median household income of $56,700 at the end of 2015 stood
exactly where it was adjusted for inflation at the end of 2007.”
“Our middle class is shrinking. Our poor families are
becoming poorer, and 70 percent of us are earning the same or less than we were
12 years ago. We need new leadership.” Former Democrat governor Martin O’Malley.
Concerning the administration’s happy talk about
unemployment: “What they forgot to tell you is that statistic doesn’t include
those people who have given up looking for work, those people who are working
part time. Add it all together and real unemployment is over 10 percent.”
Senator Bernie Sanders.
Based on the Obama administration’s Bureau of Labor
Statistics (BLS), Democrat economic advisor and fund raiser Leo Hindery says
the real unemployment rate in America is 12.1 percent.
Mr. Jacobs, your fact checking remains abominable (ICO
4/25/14), when you claimed a marijuana plant used less than a gallon of water/day,
when experts agreed they consume 6 to 15 gallons/day.
You still can’t hold water.
