Just the facts , mam....

In spite of all the bluster about the economy and the "failed" stimulus.... well, a quick look at factcheck.org reveals "Actually, the economy has gained more than 1.4 million jobs in the 11 months since the payroll tax holiday began.
That’s 84 percent more jobs than were added in the same period a year earlier. The unemployment rate has fallen from 9.4 percent in December 2010, just before the payroll tax was reduced temporarily, to 8.6 percent in November."
