In the 85 years for which the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) has calculated the annual change in real Growth Domestic Product (GDP), there is only one ten-year stretch—2006 through 2015—when the annual growth in real GDP never hit 3 percent. This is during Debbie Wasserman Schultz' representation of District 23 in the U.S. House of Representatives. Bright Star Pac investigates the GDP, unemployment rate, and labor participation rate numbers.

Debbie Wasserman Schultz' tenure in the U.S. House of Representatives overlooked Fannie Mae's excesses, resulting in the Financial Disaster of 2008. Unemployment levels in Miam-Dade still have not gotten better than in 2007. Miami-Dade County unemployment is now at 5.4% . The unemployment rate has gotten worse in Broward County over the last 4 months to 4.50%. Broward and Miami-Dade make up District 23, where Wasserman Schultz is running for re-election to the U.S. House of Representatives.
