Does anyone have an opinion on the economy?

[Haro]

I already made a thread to figure this out, but it went in a different direction. What do YOU want to see the president do with the economy?

Absolutely nothing.

 

[Missourian]

What can the president do for the economy? I am not an economist, I'm a businessman, and a small one at that. I know how to run a company, but those rules don't seem to apply to our government.

For example:

Don't spend more than you make.

Shop around, get the best price.

Don't price your product higher than the market will bear.

Cut out the fat keep the lean, Bureaucracy is productivity's worst enemy.

Promote on results, not seniority.

 

[Haro]

Absolutely nothing.

You can help the economy without touch the private sector as Bush has been doing, Kenesian economics.

Resign in disgrace.

Seriously, though, Hillary had some decent ideas.

I'd like to see an end to the bailouts and let the market decide the fate of these companies. This, to me, is preferable to the imminent collapse of the dollar, which is the direction we're currently going in.

Actually the fault of the current economic crsis almost entirely goes to Bush.

 

[Kevin_Kennedy]

No one person can possibly have all the blame attributed to them. This crisis was a long time in the making.

That is why I say almost. The war killed the dollar because the deficit is so high. The straw that broke the camal's back was Bush's decision to deregulate the banks.

It was Clinton, with approval of Congress, (R majority), that wanted and passed banking deregulation.

The war is certainly a part of the problem, along with our foreign policy in general. It's not cheap to keep troops in at least 130 different countries. The biggest problem is the Federal Reserve, however. Manipulating interest rates and printing money unchecked led to this crisis.

I want to see a source about Obama wanting to use taxpayer dollars to give people houses.
I am gald you brought up the cost of gas. Do you know who is getting the tax breaks so there is no money left for a tax holiday? Guess who gave them those breaks.

Yeah, we spend more on our army than the rest of the world put together. What happened to cause the collapse in the economy is as follows:
1) Bush deregualtes band
2)Banks make riskier loans
3)People declare bankrupcy and loans are unpaid
4)Banks go under

Simmilar to what caused that great depression.

Well it would certainly make us look stupid if the president went into a war and congress did not back him up. And just so you know you asked me "Do you think" as a separate question.
