We estimate the Act created/saved 450 thousand government-sector jobs and destroyed/forestalled one million private sector jobs.

Via Gateway Pundit, home prices have fallen as steeply as the Great Depression:

Via Moonbattery, this graph shows how many months the Obama Depression is lasting – it will takes more than 35 months to get back to pre-Obama employment numbers!

3.8 percent in the fourth quarter of 2009, 3.9 percent in the first quarter of 2010, and 3.8 percent in the second quarter of 2010. But no 3 percent-plus quarters since then.

The first nine quarters of the Reagan Recovery, by contrast, looked like this: 5.1 percent, 9.3 percent, 8.1 percent, 8.5 percent, 8.0 percent, 7.1 percent, 3.9 percent, 3.3 percent, 3.8, percent, 3.4 percent. In fact, the Reagan Boom went from the first quarter of 1983 until the second quarter of 1986 without notching a sub-3 percent GDP quarter.

So, while the Reagan Recovery quickly made up for lost years of growth, not so much for the Obama Recovery

Via AoSHQ, from The Foundry which has a huge list of how Obama has been jacking up gas prices:

Immediately after taking office in 2009, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar, canceled 77 leases for oil and gas drilling in Utah.

The EPA announced new rules mandating the use of 36 billion gallons worth of renewable fuels (like ethanol) by 2020.

This summer President Obama needlessly instituted, not one, but two outright drilling bans in the Gulf of Mexico.

After rescinding his outright offshore drilling ban, President Obama has refused to issue any new drilling permits in the Gulf, a policy that the Energy Information Administration estimates will cut domestic offshore oil production by 13% this year

Interior Secretary Salazar announced that the eastern Gulf of Mexico, the Atlantic coast, and the Pacific coast will not be developed, effectively banning drilling in those areas for the next seven years;

The Environmental Protection Agency has announced new global warming regulations for oil refineries;
Interior Secretary Salazar announced new rules making it more difficult to develop energy resources on federal land.

Via AoSHQ from Washington Post:

The Federal Reserve said the median net worth of families plunged by 39 percent in just three years, from $126,400 in 2007 to $77,300 in 2010. That puts Americans roughly on par with where they were in 1992.

Via AoSHQ:

one key economic data component has been quite good at predicting presidential elections, and that is consumer confidence. If the consumer confidence index is at 100 or higher, then the incumbent party is likely to win. If not, then the opposition party wins

Via AoSHQ:

Via AoSHQ via Economists’ Outlook Blog:

The table above shows that consumer confidence levels correctly predicted the outcome in 9 of the past 11 presidential elections… The near-perfect predictive power of the consumer confidence index essentially says that at the time of voting, the single most important issue comes down to the economy. As James Carville once said, “it’s the economy, stupid!” Forget the tough talks on terrorism or the flowery talks of hope; voters are rewarding or punishing the incumbent on the economy.

Yes, folks, the economy had already started to turn around in the quarter before President Obama took office. The healing had begun before the Stimulus package, and before he started propping the economy up with huge deficit spending.

And via Moonbattery:

The market-clearing price for new 2015 capacity — almost all natural gas — was $136 per megawatt. That’s eight times higher than the price for 2012, which was just $16 per megawatt. In the mid-Atlantic area covering New Jersey, Delaware, Pennsylvania, and DC the new price is $167 per megawatt. For the northern Ohio territory served by FirstEnergy, the price is a shocking $357 per megawatt.

I don’t understand… With all his successes above, why do 57% disapprove of his handling of the economy?

They must be racists.

    Glad you liked the flag-counter. I thought it was a nifty little widget that occasionally drives me to distraction.

    Found your blog courtesey of Diary of Daedalus….altho’ rather than step back into the wayback machine for a blow-by-blow rehash of my departure from Blog Version of Animal Farm, I’ll simply say that rather than walk away, I saw the writing on the wall and decided to make myself as much of a nuisance to the ‘new normal’ at LGF as I could.

    I think the straw that broke the camel’s back was Scott Brown. Apparently they were butthurt over a moderate New England republican winning an election…

    Just think, Simon, if you’re just a very ordinary American consumer in the USA and you haven’t had the benefit of cheap imports from China of ordinary consumables for the last two decades or more, won’t you be feeling a much greater squeeze all this while? But dependence on cheap imports is just post phoning the unpleasant eventuality.

    Stocks sink after U.S. outlook slashed
    By Hibah Yousuf, staff reporterApril 18, 2011: 4:42 PM ET
    NEW YORK (CNNMoney) — U.S. stocks cut some losses late Monday afternoon, but still finished the session sharply lower after Standard and Poor’s cut its long-term outlook on U.S. debt to negative.

    “I would say investors have been anticipating this somewhat, but when the shoe falls, it sends a vibration throughout the market,” said Ron Kiddoo, chief investment officer at Cozad Asset Management.

  11. Ron Says:

    Funny how all the graphs compare March 2007 (the last year before the recession started) with March 2011 (when the recession was in full swing) rather than March 2009 (the year Bush left office).

    Here’s a more <a href="Funny how all the graphs compare March 2007 (the last year before the recession started) with March 2011 rather than March 2008 (the year Bush left office).

    For instance, here’s the unemployment situation between Dec 2007 – Dec 2008 as reported by the US Dept. of Labor:

    2007 Dec 4.9 %
    2008 Jan 4.9
    Feb 4.8
    Mar 5.1
    Apr 5.0
    May 5.5
    Jun 5.6
    Jul 5.8
    Aug 6.2
    Sep 6.2
    Oct 6.6
    Nov 6.8
    Dec 7.2

    That represents a 47% increase during the final year of Shrub’s eight-year legacy.
