The U.S. economy created over 90,000 jobs in August and unemployment fell to 8.1% from 8.3% the previous month. August was the 30th straight month of positive job creation compared to 14 straight months of job losses that went as high as 700,000 a month during the previous Bush administration. The wall street banks predicted in 2010 that unemployment would stay above 9% for all of 2011 and 2012 and they have been proven wrong.
The positive job growth has been accomplished with out any help from republicans in congress and their attitude of doing nothing to help the President move the country forward. It is a reminder how the democratic controlled congress in 1993 passed President Clinton's deficit reduction and economic plan and every republican in the U.S. House and U.S. Senate voted against it and predicted doom and gloom. The republicans were wrong big time then and nothing has changed for the republicans in congress in 2012. Their conservative ideology is still unAmerican.
History is repeating itself. It was Clinton's policies that created the greatest economy and job creation and now it is President Obama's policies that is laying the ground work for another lasting economy and job creation for the country and its people. The GOP is a non participant in those things that have made America and its people great. They are attracted to the wedge issues that divide America because of their unAmerican conservative ideology.
The second great republican depression is coming to an end. The middle class has suffered much and it is time the wealthy start paying their fare share and pull their own weight. President Obama has outlined his plan to see that it happens. He asked the American people for their vote at the democratic convention so he could complete the job. I believe the voters should give him that chance. The alternative is unacceptable.
