    I have no idea what your source could be, and would appreciate your providing a link to it.

    The Bureau of Labor Statistics posts 8.6% unemployment for Black Americans in June, 2016. The Bureau shows Black unemployment in 2009 as having averaged 18.2%.

    So you blatantly ignore Wisconsin then which was front and center of every national media for almost two years. What a selective memory you seem to have. Let me remind you that the left consistently preached doom and gloom about Act 10 but when it was passed it became so popular that even the Democrats here stopped running against it.

    Once again if you have half a brain you compare two states with different systems and see which model works better. If you can't understand that extremely simple and necessary concept when discussing economic models then you really have no business commenting on this at all.

    Kansas model is NOT the same as Texas or Wisconsin in fact no two states budget and spend identically. So to claim that somehow Kansas is representative of all "red states" is patently stupid and anyone that makes that claim is a moron. California doesn't spend the same as Massachusetts or Washington even though they are all solid blue states.

    The BLS also posts a 5% unemployment. Everyone knows that doesn't mean anything.

    My source is facts.

    You are welcome to your version of "facts" to fit your ideological agenda.

    I'll respect the unbiased, empirical data and its legitimate source.

    f there are other governors who boasted that they would conduct ideologically-driven "experiments" like Brownback with his Red State Model, you'll need to provide a link to such proclamations. I am unable to find any others

    We know what Kansans think of their Brownback's "experiment" - which is why some hardcore ideologues are so desperate to shift the focus elsewhere.

    .If it had not failed so miserably, they'd be strutting around preaching about it.

    Wisconsin...Wisconsin Wisconsin. The entire recall and Act 10 was specifically about fiscally conservative economic models specifically designed to curb public employee union power and return power to the actual taxpayers.

    but if the economy was failing, you'd blame Obama. :roll:

    The fact that that economy performs significantly better under Democrats is more than a coincidence.

    I love this right wing argument that Obama is the POTUS for everyone and not just blacks, but everytime an issue is brought up, the leading narrative is "blacks, blacks, blacks".

    I remember in 2009 the "he's half-black, his mom was white" rhetoric. Yea, that's why his children are monkeys and his wife is a gorilla...........because you see a half-black president. :roll:That's why any time there's something dealing with blacks, Obama is the very first name you right wingers want to bring up.

    The black president (ouch, did that hurt?) is more successful than most people will ever be, but I notice righties never want to associate him with black doctors, lawyers, scholars, scientists, etc. That's because they don't exist in your eyes.

    We don't look at race, we're colorblind!- GOP

    Sorry. Your insinuation that an ideological regime took control of Wisconsin, declared it an "experiment", a self-proclaimed "Model" of some colour, thus setting itself up as a paradigm for the nation, is without credible evidence.

    Some hardcore ideologues are clearly desperate to avoid confronting TP Sammy's "experiment", his Red State Model, but the Kansans who elected him and were the victims of his ideological agenda are not averse to issuing their verdict, voting him the worst governor in America.

    Of course, rather than learn from Brownback's touted "Model" his "Hey, everybody! Look at me!" antiphon to neighbouring Missouri's "Show me," we could duck the cogent reality and chat about Wisconsin, or Greece for that matter, but that would be far, far too blatant an evasion.

    Regarding the specific falsehood: "Hasn't gotten better for blacks. In fact, it's worse. That's a fact," the Bureau of Labor Statistics posts 8.6% unemployment for Black Americans in June, 2016, and had shown Black unemployment in 2009 as having averaged 18.2%.

    Blind, ideological faith allows emotion to suppress reason. Empirical data is no match for dogma.

    Did you laugh when you posted this? I laughed when I read it.

    To call Obama's Bureau of Labor Statistics "unbiased" is either excruciatingly ignorant of a blatant lie (you may take your pick).
    We've seen all across the board the unprecedented politicization of the Obama administration: In the IRS, the Justice Department, Homeland Security,
    the Pentagon, the State Department, the FBI, among the Border Patrol, the EPA, NSA and on and on and on.

    Even the hard core lefties know it: http://www.democracynow.org/2014/3/27/barack_obama_the_least_transparent_president
    There is nothing worse than the hypocritical nattering of partisan know nothings. You have been identified.

    Your ideologically-induced paranoia is unfortunate. Your delusion, apparently, encompasses such notorious socialist mouthpieces as the Wall Street Journal and US News, and other that accurately report the current positive economic news.

    Since you have no legitimate sources for your fantasy, you are not able to refute the Bureau of Labor Statistics data, but your blind faith is great, as you seethe with your hyper-partisan fervour that vanquishes reason.

    All the jobs are going to Latino's as they pour into the country. If BLM wants to protest, they should protest Obama's open border.

    On the contrary I merely look in the newspapers at all the lies coming out of all branches of the Obama administration and merely extrapolate that to the Obama Bureau of Labor Statistics. No reason to think they alone, out of all the
    Obama government agencies, are truthful and honest.
    And of course empirically, in an economy that can't even manage 3% growth (and hasn't, for the last eight years), we are supposed to believe there are all these jobs being created? By whom? In what alternate reality is this happening? Are you perhaps the recipient of one of these Obama jobs, churning out
    propagandistic bilge on a per post basis? That would explain much.

    Chronic bellywhingers are in a snit over the positive consensus concerning the nation's economy, but it's clearly looking pretty good!

    You seem confused. I've said nothing about home ownership.

    It is clear that you hate the President, are paranoid about government statistics that don't support your ideological dogma, but have no credible sources whatsoever that you can cite to support your delusion.

    But you did infer that blacks were not worse off. You also suggested the facts I posted weren't accurate.

    I accurately cited the data that confirms the unemployment rate for Black Americans is now far lower than it was in 2009.

    Incredibly funny and lame, like a children's party clown with a limp. Even dyed in the wool leftists know the Obama regime is rife with liars and
    frauds...http://www.democracynow.org/2014/3/27/barack_obama_the_least_transparent_president

    And you expect a thinking human being to believe that, somehow, the Bureau of Labor Statistics is different from every other Obama government agency?
    I don't think so. Whoever hired you to post non stop propaganda and drivel should get fired, and then get one of those special "Obama jobs" that you must be referring to....like running the fry machine at the McDonald's all night restaurant for minimum wage, and all the fry grease he can carry home in his shirt pocket.

    Please, poster....don't make yourself look so foolish.

    In your alienation from America, you are free to snivel as much as you like.

    Meanwhile, A majority of Americans consistently approve of the job the nation's leader is doing, and economists recognize that the nation is now in far better shape than when he was first elected.

    If the reality upsets you, that's unfortunate.
