The chart clearly shows the Second Great Depression started when Obama assumed office and put his Keynesian economic policies into practice. The Depression will not end until the Keynesian policies are reversed and that can not happen until Obama is removed from office.

Until then, Obama can claim the “Recovery” is underway, but will ignore the economic facts that no such reality exists.

The Tea Party Rebellion Escalates.

Carpe Diem.
