No, you can start some other thread on that one but for here lets just stay on topic --namely,Of course revenue pops when there is a fake sub-prime boom going on that also exploded the debt. How about showing us a chart of revenue as a percent of GDP? ......Revenue had been falling before the rate cuts, and revenue soared to an all time high afterward. The deficits would have been far worse if revenue had continued to fall without the rate cuts.
Bottom line here is that 'thanking' Obama for a mere $9T in wealth creation admits that the policy falls far short of what we had with tax-cuts plus spending limits....This thread credits Obama's stimulus for a 5.6% annual growth in private net worth. That's less than the 6.8% average since 1949. Bush's tax-cuts were followed by 14% growth. That's far better than average...
Sounds like you're happier with those other data. All I see is yet another digression upon repeated subject changes --all leading to a clouded muddle of extremist political dogma....Here is all the data, not some small selection...
The world’s leading economy, in the most dynamic, inventive period in human history, failed to make people a penny richer.
GDP went up. But real wages did not. In fact, people got nowhere financially — if they were lucky. And many families got caught in the credit/housing bubble. When it blew up they got knocked back…actually losing wealth.
We’ll give you the conclusion before we give you the facts: the “growth” in the last 20 years was largely phony. The wheels on the economy spun around faster and faster. The shopping malls were full. Houses were built on nearly every vacant lot. Wall Street cashed big checks. But, overall, it was an illusion. Compared to a real boom, it was a counterfeit. Nobody got anywhere.
Whoa!!! We started with the fed's wealth stats, switched to The New York Times version of the Fedstats, and now we see DAILYRECONING's rehash of the NYT rant come up with the exact opposite of what the Fed reported in the first place.The Disconnect Between Household Wealth and GDP Growth

LOL, really? Nobody forced the banks to make risky loans.
Absolutely false. The federal government has indeed forced them to do that. Now, you can certainly argue that it was a minor factor in the crash, but don't say they have never been forced to make risky loans because that is factually wrong.
No.

No.
Oh the government most certainly did force banks to make loans to previously unqualified people.
Government officials made it abundantly clear that for those banks that did not go along with the plan there would be trouble. The accusations of "red lining" would be flying if the lending did not get done.
OMG, I thought I had seen it all but really?
America's Average Net worth is DOWN by 40%.
What a fucking loser.

The government did not force banks to loan money to anyone. It did pass regulations that made it possible for banks to make money hedging bets, often against their own clients.
I have nothing against casinos. I just wish we would not call them banks!

Shut up...You post this shit just to rattle chains.
You live in LA LA land.
Then YOU vote for Obama. Hopefully he'll keep fucking up and you will be part of the losing team.
BTW, those claims you posted up there.....Pure unprocessed bullshit...
I think you've shown your man crush on Obama one too many times.
OMG, I thought I had seen it all but really?
America's Average Net worth is DOWN by 40%.
What a fucking loser.
I did a little research on this and I was shocked to find out that this
was sort of true.
I hate to admit when a Lib is right...
Right in the sense that Americans are so much better off since the stimulus but the numbers are way off....
Its not that Americans worth is up 9 trillion dollars...
Americans worth is really up 799 trillion dollars because of the stimulus...
The article contained a typo....
Thanks Chris for the post....
