Things are turning around despite Republican efforts 
Almost a third of the country is out of the workforce and not looking for work, the administration constantly lies to the people, 8% of people think they're better off with obummercare, military vets are being denied care from the VA while they fake records, our schools are dropping as compared to the rest of the world, wages are down, food prices are up, and it gets worse from there. Isn't $17 trillion dollars of debt enough for you? Russia is laughing at us, and so is China. We're the only country trying to cut down on our fossil fuel usage, while every other country in the world is increasing theirs. Gas prices are now steady at $3.50 a gallon, and will probably go up in the summer. You're rooting for the wrong party. All these progressive idiots that think they're doing us a favor by sacrificing our well being to 'save the planet' have got to go.

You need to check your math if you think that 7% equals = 33%. How can you talk about the economy when you can't even do math? Russia is hardly laughing at us after we just sponsored a successful uprising and turned their ally against them. China isn't laughing at us either. So you want to increase fossil fuel usage, but complain about the gas price? You're full of contradictions. I'm sure I don't need to lecture you about how supply and demand works. The debt is bad, but cutting taxes doesn't fix that. Look at what Reaganomics did for our deficit and you'll see the proof. You're rooting for the wrong party. You need to stop supporting these moronic conservatives who think their martyr complex is helping anyone besides their constituents and not the common person (like you).

I'll just start with this one so I can keep things simple for you. The administration is reporting the unemployment rate is 6.3%, but that's because they calculate that using the number of people looking for work against the number of people on unemployment. When 90million+ people have stopped looking for work, the real number of unemployment is much higher. As the population of the country is 300million, that would put roughly 1/3 of the country out of work, as 90million+ have dropped out of the job market.
Russia just told us to use a trampoline to get to space. If that isn't laughing at us, I don't know what is.
If we increase our fuel supply, we'll have more supply as opposed to demand. The only reason we're keeping up right now is due to drilling on private land. I can't wait until the EPA closes a bunch of coal fired electric plants, as they are planning. That $1000 electric bill might just change your mind.
Cutting taxes on businesses, cutting regulations, lowing tax rates on people, and encouraging businesses to come back to this country will increase the size of the work for, thereby raising the number of tax payers. This will increase the flow of taxes into the government, just like it did during the Reagan era. Our corporate taxes one of the highest in the world, which is why companies are moving their money offshore. After that, cutting the reckless spending and using our own natural resources will lower the debt.
Just to make things clear, I'm not rooting for the rank and file republican, as they are just democrat lite. I want fiscal conservatives. If we don't lower our debt soon, this country will crash.
BTW, here a nice little excerpt from a huffpo article.
Instead, the number of Americans in the labor force – those who have a job or are looking for one – fell by nearly half a million people from February to March, the government said Friday. And the percentage of working-age adults in the labor force – what's called the participation rate – fell to 63.3 percent last month. It's the lowest such figure since May 1979.
If the labor participation is 63.3%, that means 36.7% have stopped looking for work. Even a liberal rag backs up my numbers. Nearly a third of the populace is out of work. Over a third of working aged adults are not looking for work.

A lot of this has nothing to do with political philosophies, and there's no addressing the problem. The deal is done, the ink is dry.
There is less need for and value in human capital.
A big reason is technology, and neither conservative or liberal principles is going to stop that. I try to buy from a human over a machine if I can, but that's more or less a vanity cause anymore.
Globalization is also out of the barn. We simply cannot compete with other countries when it comes to cheap labor. You can cut all of taxes and regulations you want, but it's not going to bring those jobs back unless you're willing to lower the country's standard of living to that of the countries we outsource labor to.
You can get protectionist with it, but that's not going to happen with the corporations pulling the strings.
A great deal of the jobs we've lost are never coming back, and it has nothing to do with politics and everything to do with economics.

Cutting taxes and regulations might not bring them all back, but if we make America more financially viable for business, which it isn't now due to our taxes, we will have more business. More money will stay in the country instead of being parked offshore. Continually raising taxes and the 'tax the rich' mentality will keep the rich away. The rich put up capital for businesses and create jobs.

We could cut taxes to zero across the board, and those jobs aren't coming back. How many major corporations effectively pay no tax? And has that stopped them from outsourcing or being less reliant on human capital as in the past?
No.
Cutting taxes to zero isn't going to bring back jobs vacated by machines, nor is it going to bring back decent paying American jobs when you can hire someone in another country at a fraction of the cost and with little regulating restrictions.
Those jobs aren't coming back. You can lower taxes all you want, but that ship has sailed, unless you're talking about slashing our standard of living to resemble the places those jobs are going.

Well I've said it many times before, I don't really vote Democrat. I vote Green first.
