In his Saturday radio address, Barack Obama boasted of his record: “[I]n 2013, our businesses created 2.2 million new jobs – including 87,000 last month. Our unemployment rate is the lowest it has been since October 2008. And across our broader economy, there are signs of progress. … Thanks in part to the reforms in the Affordable Care Act, health care costs now eat up less of our economy – over the past four years, costs have grown at the slowest rate on record. And since I took office, we’ve cut our deficits by more than half.” Now here’s the truth: Headline unemployment declined because people gave up looking. If the same number of Americans were in the labor force as just last year, the unemployment rate would be 7.9%. Second, thanks to the “Affordable” Care Act, millions of Americans have lost the insurance plan they liked and were told they could keep, and they’re forced to pay more for less. And finally, Obama could only “cut the deficit” in half because he quadrupled it upon taking office. The deficit remains far higher than the previous record.
