"I swear the economy's getting better. Much better. Really better. Super better."

"I swear the economy's getting better. Much better. Really better. Super better."

Hope like hell Joe Biden doesn’t come to your town to tell you how effective the “stimulus” has been.

On July 9, Joe Biden traveled to Ohio to tell the yokels how effective the “stimulus” had been. “Roads plus teachers plus cops plus jobs equals a community,” he said, “and that equals paychecks and prosperity.” Eight days later, it was announced that the state’s unemployment rate had increased from 10.8% to 11.1%.

On July 16, Biden visited Richmond, Virginia to deliver the same message of hope and change. The next day, the Bureau of Labor Statistics revealed that Virginia shed 22,800 in June and that the state’s unemployment rate had jumped to 7.2%.

In the words of Aussie blogger Andrew Bolt, “It’s like the Gore Effect, only for unemployment.”
