Wasserman-Schultz Still Full of It

A year later, the always delusional Debbie is still spouting the same stupidity; this week on Fox News Sunday. It's interesting that the exact same explanation applies to her lousy math. She's still harping the exact same failed argument; mainly because they don't have anything really positive to offer the American Public. The big thing that's changed in the past year is that Wasserman-Schultz is no longer going to be in my congressional district next year. So she'll be less embarrassing to those of us in Downtown Fort Lauderdale; a place where I doubt she's ever even visited.

The claim is that when Obama took office the economy was losing 750,000 jobs per month, and since the bleeding stopped, "Obama's policies" have "created" 2 million jobs. The problem is that when some people who were laid off come back to work, it's not a job created.

Let's say that in 2008 you owned a bustling restaurant with 90 employees. Over the next 16 months, you let 45 people go because business was bad and you either didn't need them or couldn't afford to pay them. You were working with a skeleton staff; everyone was working 55 hours per week. Double shifts are the norm. You're doing everything you can to survive.

At this point, you can't fire anyone else. From this, Debbie's logic is "Obama has stopped the job loss". The truth is, everyone who can be let go has been let go.

After a while, the double shifts are burning everyone out, so over the next 6 months you hire a few people back to lessen the load. Instead of 45 people working 55 hours per week, you now have 55 people working 45 hours per week. Business is still substantially down.

Debbie of course see's this as Obama creating 10 jobs. Except you still have 35 fewer employees than you did in 2008. You'd have to be pretty stupid to believe that this represents anything positive.

These lies are what fuels the Democratic party; they count on their constituents being too stupid to understand the math. It's impossible for substantial job loss to continue forever, because once you get rid of non-essential employees, there's no-one left to fire. Until you get back to 75 employees in this example, you haven't fixed the problem.
