Between May 1999 and May 2009, employment in the private sector sector only rose by 1.1%, by far the lowest 10-year increase in the post-depression period. It’s impossible to overstate how bad this is. Basically speaking, the private sector job machine has almost completely stalled over the past ten years. ... Without a decade of growing government support from rising health and education spending and soaring budget deficits, the labor market would have been flat on its back.

Obama's first all-by-his-lonesome budget, btw, calls for a $1.17 trillion deficit.
And you're laughing because: a. the idea of expanding government tickles your funny bone b. you figure laughing masks an intellectual void

Exactly. The economy and employment IMPLODED beginning with Pelosi's becoming Speaker.
