Ezra Grant — Fri, 07 Nov 2014 16:36:45 +0000

Another month, more Americans find work and the economy gets stronger. But Democrats stayed silent, refusing to talk about the improving economy and record jobs creation during the midterm campaign season, allowing Republicans to push their narrative that the “economy is falling apart.” And that narrative is what voters believed when they gave Republicans the […]

Ezra Grant — Sat, 01 Nov 2014 19:14:40 +0000

The economy has improved tremendously since President Obama took office. If you don’t believe me just turn off the doom and gloom from Fox News and the rest of the media, and go outside.

Obama Great For The Economy – 48 Months of Job Growth

Ezra Grant — Sat, 08 Mar 2014 13:43:21 +0000

We hear a lot about this fictional liberal land under President Obama, where job creation was killed by Obamacare and liberal ideas have destroyed the country. Reality, of course, is quite different. In fact, reality is almost the exact opposite. For Bush’s entire 8 years, job growth was just 1.1 million. Yet under Obama, the […]

Remember Something Called The Economy?

Ezra Grant — Tue, 14 May 2013 19:48:16 +0000

Remember the economy? The election year was dominated by talk about jobs and the economy, but neither the administration nor Congress seems to have any grand ideas for jump-starting a still sluggish recovery — and they’re not even talking about it much. President Obama sought to turn attention back to economic issues with a speech […]
