Sure you have. The economy ROCKED under Reagan, moron.
A 'shambles' was what we had under Carter.
Carter's economy was the result of 2 Republican administrations that didn't have a clue as how to deal with inflation and high unemployment.
And we weren't discussing the 'why' of Carter's ineptitude.
But why do you always dance and deflect when I destroy your mindless takes, swallow?

Can't resist your homosexual urges.
President Nixon and President Ford left President Carter with high inflation, serious unemployment and an economy in such bad shape a new word was coined to describe it: STAGFLATION.
Only very dumb parrots suggest Carter was responsible for the mess we were in the late 1970's.

inflation was at 5 percent when he took office and 14 percent when he left. Unemployment was about 7.5 when he took office and 7.0 when he left.

BUll !!!! totally bull !!!! if you raise taxes you have money to pay for the national budget ... you also have money to pay for teachers, cops firemen, the extras by hiring more people you have more money coming in ... when you have more money coming in to the coffer you then work with in the national budget, by doing so you create a surplus ... that surplus goes to pay down on the national debt unless you get republicans in power to give it to the rich 1% .. is that dumb down enough for you ??? hence you don't pay the national debt bt cutting taxes ... it has never work and you can't show us anywhere it has worked ... but I can show you by raising taxes,where we did balance the budgett, where we had money to pay for the national debt
WHY SHOULD OUR TAX DOLLARS GO TO BAIL OUT THE NAT DEBT THAT OBAMA HIMSELF CREATED BY HIS SPENDING AND THROWING OUR MONEY AWAY. AND AS LONG AS OBAMA IS IN OFFICE, OUR TAX DOLLARS SHOULD NOT GO FOR HIS FRIVILOUS SPENDING. HE WOULD ONLY THROW IT ON THINGS OTHER THEN THE DEFICET.
YOU CAN NOT RAISE TAXES ON PEOPLE WHO ARE ALREADY STRUGGLING TO MAKE ENDS MEET, AND MOST OF THEM OUT OF WORK. SIMPLE FACT.
"The vast majority of taxpayers saw no change in their income taxes as a result of the 1993 law. CBO estimates that most households paid only $38 more per year, as a result of the 4.3 cent per gallon increase in the gas tax."
Reagan, for example, actually doubled GDP and Federal tax receipts, not to mention the millions of jobs his policies spawned during and well past his Presidency.
You shouldn't do dope and post at the same time.
He also ran the debt and deficit sky high..not to mention the bailouts.
You have been corrected on your 'complete shambles' nonsense. Up your game.
its working fine ...
and economics is clearly not your forte ... explain to us rocker scientist how to you pay for someth by taking money away from it ... we all need a good chuckle, chuckles the repub-lie-clown
I'll try to dumb it down for you. Wish me luck.
We can only extract about 16.5% of GDP in taxes from the economy on an ongoing basis.
Attempt to extract more than this in higher tax rates, and the economy shrinks
to where your new tax rates net .... 16.5% of GDP, on average.
This is known as Hauser's Law.
So what is a government to do if it needs and wants more tax dollars?
You grow GDP. This is the only way, as Hauser's Law, Laffer curve, etc. prove.
And you grow GDP by unleashing private sector economic activity, which is why pols - even often recalcitrant Democrats - look to tax cuts.
See, dumbfuck, we can grow our way out of debt by growing GDP, but this can only be done if SPENDING increases do not outpace growth in the tax base.

Repugs facking amaze me, if I own a big business that's has a huge deficit would giving my employees a bigger pay raise lower that deficit? You have to take in more not cut more than you take in.
Well, I DID attempt to educate you, billy.
LOL
first you have to be educated ... its apparent you're not
Lets see...losing 700,000 jobs a month when he took office...now we have had 20+ months of job gains. That sounds like an improvement.
Dow doubled since he took office...yup that's improvmenty.
Corporations are raking in record profits. Their economy is certainly improving.
According to a new study out of Northeastern University, half of all college graduates are unemployed or underemployed. No student is immune either, because at Gonzaga University there are plenty of soon-to-be graduates who cannot seem to find a job.

More than half of college students graduating this June can expect to find either no work, or work that doesnt utilize their freshly minted skills, according to the Associated Press.
Of the 1.5 million bachelors degree holders under age 25, more are likely to be employed as waiters, waitresses, bartenders, or food-service helpers than as engineers, chemists, physicists, or mathematicians. More of them are working in office-related jobs such as receptionists or payroll clerks that in all computer-related jobs put together.

A consistent 8% unemployment for the last 3 years says no, no matter what these fucking morons on here think, the numbers say otherwise. No he has not. He is the worst president since carter, and maybe even worse being that it is not over yet.With unemployment numbers still increasingly higher since he first took office, many Americans are finding themselves struggling to now earn the incomes they once had (see our nation's UNDERemployment figures). The cost of energy also is going up, while the push for a new GREEN policy has yet to find a place and take off among many of the nation's consumers. This has only furthered Obama's stubborn resolve to invest more taxpayer dollars into alternative energy corporations, while pushing regulations to cripple those companies that choose to maintain the course of using fossile fuels.
With the economy stagnant and still struggling to recover, as well as facing a huge government spending debt to try and pass the blame on, the real question emerges: Is Obama really concerned about jobs, or with the attempt to steer his Titanic to change the face of America to a radically new direction, where left-wing ideology rules with an iron fist?
Wtih regard to coal:
What I've said is that we would put a cap and trade system in place that is as aggressive, if not more aggressive, than anybody else's out there.
I was the first to call for a 100% auction on the cap and trade system, which means that every unit of carbon or greenhouse gases emitted would be charged to the polluter. That will create a market in which whatever technologies are out there that are being presented, whatever power plants that are being built, that they would have to meet the rigors of that market and the ratcheted down caps that are being placed, imposed every year.
So if somebody wants to build a coal-powered plant, they can; it's just that it will bankrupt them because they're going to be charged a huge sum for all that greenhouse gas that's being emitted.
That will also generate billions of dollars that we can invest in solar, wind, biodiesel and other alternative energy approaches.
The only thing I've said with respect to coal, I haven't been some coal booster. What I have said is that for us to take coal off the table as a (sic) ideological matter as opposed to saying if technology allows us to use coal in a clean way, we should pursue it.
So if somebody wants to build a coal-powered plant, they can.
It's just that it will bankrupt them.

As of 2008, coal fuels about 50 percent of US electricity production and provides about a quarter of the countrys total energy.
Then there's the rejection by Obama and the left of the Keystone pipeline, siting unemployment extensions creates more jobs. Has the administration really fought to put Americans back to work, or is he using his Presidency as a bully platform to dictate what Americans must be willing to accept dispite the effect it may have to a crippling economy?
We are in the middle of the first phase of a PERMANENT decrease in American standard of living.
Not for everyone. But for a great many.
When people lost that job paying 22 an hour plus bennies and replaced it with a job paying 12 dollars an hour w/no bennies, then yes, their standard of living has gone down. And wil stay down more than likely. The 22 dollar an hour job went somewhere else.
This is the same reason the recovery has been so slow. People did not lose their good paying job then get called back to work at the good paying job. They went back to work (if lucky) for a lot less on the hour. That loss of hourly rate income will cause a slow recovery.
