Only the deficit. Unemployment and the deficit, LITTLE improvements you called for in your post are what I spoke directly to. My point is proved, yours isn't. There are improvements in both.
I surely must have something better to do than waste my time trying to make a point with someone who
1. Cannot, apparently read a simple spreadsheet or doesn't know when the current president took office.
2. Is blinded by a suspect hatred that runs far deeper than numbers and has more to do with colors and names.
If it wasn't so much ****ing fun, I'd quit.
