Is Obama A Job Creator? New Analysis Says Yes
Barack Obama is a job creator, new figures released by the Labor Department show. One of the key Republican talking points in the 2012 presidential election is that President Obama has failed to create jobs, something Mitt Romney knows how to do through his background in private business.

  • Debt spending cheapens all money, and accelerates inflation for food, gas, ...
  • Inflation is the biggest regressive tax on the lower and middle income class

    The rest of the analysis on tax-rates on rich/poor/corporate, liberal/conservative agendas ... is simply political nonsense.
