Retread; it has gained back most of its loss!

No, it has not. Most of the jobs gained are much lower paying which is why the wage number is lower. I think I just read somewhere, could find it just now but I’ll look, where the industry that gained the most is restaurant. That’s not the jobs you want to gain.  So no, there has not been steady job growth. There is no way to hide the facts; we are going nowhere.

Rebuild the nation’s infrastructure?
I thought that’s what the last stimulus was for and where did that get us? No where. All we did, to quote Paul Ryan correctly, we Borrowed and wasted almost a trillion dollars. The idea that ‘green energy’ is key to our growth is complete nonsense. Please, please please don’t fall for that line of crap. We’ve been saying that for 10 years now and all we’ve done is spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to create each job.

cut foreign aid and military spending first. Thats the biggest piece of the pie
I don't believe that's true.

"No, it has not. Most of the jobs gained are much lower paying which is why the wage number is lower. WM".

The federal minimum wage is just $7.25 an hour and hasn't been raised in three years. But a raise is much more overdue than that. If we look at the minimum wage 44 years ago, and simply adjust it for inflation, it would be more than $10 today.

This is another ugly symptom of what has gone wrong in America over the last 35 to 40 years. From 1979 to 2007, about 60 percent of the income gains have gone to the now infamous 1 percent at the top, with the majority of those gains going to the top 0.1 percent - people who made, on average, $5.6 million per year.

But some of the worst effects of giving more to those who have the most have affected people toward the bottom of the income ladder, and there is no excuse for it.

http://www.usfederalbudget.us/federal_budget_detail_fy13  Its hard to keep up with military spending right now, last I heard there was close to two trillion unacounted for. Web do I have to look that up for you? We need to put those guys building roads, bridges and dams. Just think about it Web, without roads, bridges and power your rich buddies are gonna have a hard time getting richer. DAH They never think about long term goals because they live and make money for the moment, ex, how manty CEO's last over 5 years? As far as military spending goes we're doing great with just Obama and a Seal Team! Your little Republican sissy who was too chikensh!t to go to war wants to start one immediately.The real American patriots like Star were in Nam doing one hell of a job with what they had to work with, not riding a bicycle around France. One sissy American warmongering president has already put us under, we dont need another one.

Bush declared 2 wars and cut taxes. Wonder if his Daddy got him a passing grade in math class? Now Eddie Munster Ryan wants to come along and cut my SS benefits (that I paid into for over 40 years) to pay for Bush's lies and warmongering. Hell No! Not without a fight!

Midnight; Huffington Post published data from a calculation method created by a group called Nerd Wallet Markets after Forbes published their list of corporations paying the most taxes. See the list below.

Forbes then responded to the Nerd Wallet method of calculation that, being a liberal group, either on purpose or through sheer ignorance, did not take into account how taxes are paid in corporations doing business in multiple countries.  Look it up.

Not a big surprise, but Huffington Post printed data that was misleading and incomplete, basically a big fat lie. Again, not a surprise.

And now you will repeat this lie a 1000 times to the rest of your class warfare friends and the war against the classes will continue until the nation goes bankrupt and you will stupidity sit there and blame the rich guys more.  Nice one.
