Jobs are out there; go get them All last year our great Royal Nonesuch ran for president on the lie that the American economy was an irredeemable disaster and he alone could turn things around and bring back jobs to a desperate nation. This, despite all economic signs pointing to a stable and healthy economy, which has recovered by leaps and bounds from the depths of the Bush recession of 2007-2009 (yes, Bush, Obama wasn’t president when the economy crashed.) Angry voters believed his sales pitch and elected him.
