Actually, my jaw just broke my desk. It fell that hard.

So, let me see if I get this right (as a scientist, as you know):

"We've been experiencing consecutive job losses for nine months now."

Exhibit A presents a prolonged episode of job losses in a country seeing a 1% yearly increase of the workforce. This came on the back of the most disappointing business cycle ever.

Exhibit A, coincidentally, has been for 8 years run by a Republican administration, and for all but 2 of the last 14 years a Republican congress. Those 2 years off the trend were marked by a record level of filibuster and vetoes, so that there could not be a significant deviation from Republican policies.

Exhibit A also presents significant traces of out of control trade deficits, budgetary deficits, fiscal evasion, state agency dereliction and crumbling infrastructure...

There can only be one conclusion: it needs more Republican policies. Hey, it's all there in a nutshell:

"'some of his programs would bankrupt the country within three years, if implemented.'  In fact, the poll highlights that Obama's tax policies, which scored the lowest grade in the poll, are particularly unpopular among CEOs"

As we know, our scientific (I would produce the figures but it's way too wonkish for you clever executives) research conclusively proves that more taxes bring instant country bankrupcy, as shown by all those other OECD countries which have higher taxes.

"The womb that spawned that thing is fertile yet"
