If you thought Obama inherited a mess

[NoNukes]

If Obama gets 4 more years (heaven forbid) it's going to take years and years to mend all the mess.

And by the way, Obama did not inherit a "depression years" kind of mess like he is claiming!

It would have been a depression had he not stopped it.

 

[Mr. Shaman]

If you thought Obama inherited a mess just think of what Romney is going to get. How many years will Romney be able to blame Obama for this terrible economy? This huge debt, the low morale of the military due to the disrespect from this Obama administration, and the wasteful programs that this administration has created in 4 short years.

Not a problem!!

You're (quite) obviously too-young to remember 1996....back, before Bill Clinton's policies started making a difference....and giving us THE GREATEST ECONOMY THIS COUNTRY HAD EVER EXPERIENCED!​

May 16, 1996

Clintonomic$ Ri$ing!!

"Flash back four years: With the American economy just emerging from a two-year recession in the fall of 1992 and many Americans nervous about their economic prospects, Carville's one-note samba -- played over and over again throughout the campaign -- clearly helped propel Bill Clinton into the White House, forcing George Bush to retire to his beloved Texas.

Now it's Bill Clinton's turn to run for re-election. And though the economy is not moving backward (the definition of a recession), it's not setting any speed records either. Fifty percent of major U.S. companies trimmed their payrolls in the 12 months ending June 1995, some of them significantly. Indeed, from March 1995 to March 1996, 325,000 high-paying manufacturing jobs disappeared, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The public -- especially the nearly 8 million people who are working two or more jobs to make ends meet -- know something is amiss. And they are concerned.

Beach and Hodge turned the clock back to January 1993, before the new administration pushed the $241 billion tax hike through the 103rd Congress. Without getting into all of the mind-numbing technical details, they then ran the model on "fast-forward," asking it to tell them what the economy would look like today if tax and budget policy had not been changed in 1993.

What they found was not good news for the White House."

How "odd" that Heritage never gave Newt Gingrich credit for working with Bill Clinton!!

You know this?? How?? Just because someone said it would be a depression??

If TARP I had never occured I have a feeling everything would have hit rock bottom and been on the way up way long before now. All these baleouts did nothing but prolong what should have happened from the get go.

Would we have been in a depression?? Who knows. I sure don't and neither does anyone else.

The meltdown of 2008 was historic in its breadth, depth and complexity. And it's still playing out. TARP was about the only option in a big, steaming plate of shitty options. And yeah, I definitely think we were heading into Great Depression II, only this one would probably have been worse due to (1) the breathtakingly complicated nature of our financial system -- hello, derivatives -- and (2) the far more symbiotic nature of global finance.

And anyone who thinks we could just bounce back to "normal" within 10 or 15 years just isn't paying attention.

If you thought Obama inherited a mess just think of what Romney is going to get. How many years will Romney be able to blame Obama for this terrible economy? This huge debt, the low morale of the military due to the disrespect from this Obama administration, and the wasteful programs that this administration has created in 4 short years.

Considering the economy is already on the mend although not going as strong as most would like, I think Romney would be stepping into an ideal situation. Bottom line is that the economy is going to get better no matter who is elected and no matter what they do or don't do.

No doubt a result of.....

.....Bush tax-cuts dying, in December....

....and, our return to.....

....the CLINTON RATES!!!!

The economy is not "on the mend" unless of course you want to believe Obama's inflated jobs reports. All other indicators are down and so are the REAL job numbers.

Yeah......that's what they said.....

.....in 1996!!!!!

You Snookie Palin fans really DO need to start reading more.....​

January 13, 2008​

"The recession-deniers were muzzled by a horrendous last two weeks of December, and the gloom-and-doomers are now out in force. Their key arguments:

* Plummeting housing will now drag down the rest of the economy.

*The "bad debt" problem is not just "sub-prime" folks who should never have have taken out mortgages in the first place. It includes credit card debt, "high quality" mortgages, car loans, and other leverage that have recently become a consumer way of life.

*Pressure on consumers is leading to a reduction in consumer spending (70% of economy), which, in turn, will lead to a reduction in spending by companies that sell stuff to consumers.

*The question now is not "will there be a recession?" but "how bad will it get?"

*The most optimistic forecasts in a NYT gloom-and-doom round-up are for three crappy quarters, regardless of what the Fed does. Less optimistic forecasts suggest that we are, well, screwed.

After blowing the last downturn, we've been worried this one since last summer (see below). We also suspect that, given the importance of housing to the economy and debt to consumer spending, the recession will be deeper and more prolonged than people think."

Wasn't as bad as the depression, but was pretty close

It was pretty-fuckin'-BAD!!!!!

[Mr. Shaman]

The President we should all pity is the one who is going to inherit the pathetic weaken America King Obama is going to leave when he goes

 

[Mr. Shaman]

Step 1 in fixing the mess....arrest Obamination, Holder, Chu, etc for crimes against the United States, Mexico, etc....

Better get-in-line.......

[Mr. Shaman]

The biggest thing on my mind for this election are the appointments to the Supreme Court. Two more appointments may be made by our next president. The last two appointments by Obama were horrendous for just about anyone who appreciates the protections they have been given by The Constitution.

Yeah.... Obama is the worst of the worst..... he is the enemy within... .... how can anybody vote for him is simply beyond me!

Wanna try, again, Bubblehead?????

[Mr. Shaman]

Since Obamination, if he wins, will inherit a huge mess in January....he should just drop out of the race tonight.

That's what Republicans said.....
....in 1992!!!!!!

Without TARP and the stimulus, it would have been. And like the FIRST Pub Great Depression, the rest of the world was ruined too.

The dupes are unbelievable.

That you still preach this horses**t is funny.

There was no depression in the offing.

That's what.....

....PORKY LIMBAUGH SAYS....

....huh?

That's one of your problems......you and Faux News. You have a memory problem:

When Obama took the helm in Jan. 2009 there were two big wars raging, dozens of young Americans dying each day 10,000 miles from their homes, the stock market had tanked, people were losing their homes by the 100,000, half a trillion dollar interest on the Reagan/Bushes debt due and payable, GM and Chrysler ready to go bankrupt and take a look at the jobs being lost. Do you need someone to point to January 2009 on the chart for you?

Are we better off than we were four years ago indeed!!

It would appear there is a lot beyond you...

No doubt.

The difference between 2008 and 2012 is the direction into which the economy seems to be headed.

In 2008 it was going down, and in 2012 it is going up.

Admittedly, the only real benefactors of today's economy are the aflluent, but still having some of society gaining ground is better than everybody losing ground.

Be patient.....​

"Not only was the entire national deficit eliminated after raising taxes on the wealthy in 1993, but the economy grew so fast for the remainder of the decade that many conservative economists thought that the Fed should raise the prime interest rate in order to slow it down."

What are the "real job numbers?" What's the source, what's the methodology (including definitions), and what makes them more "real" than the official numbers?

There was no depression in the offing. That or you REALLY do need to move to Cuba because you don't understand crap about the economy.

I don't need to move anywhere I am happy where I am now.
