Which claim? That we have spent more than any other recession and gotten less? (look at Grant's Interest Rate Observer for evidence)
That our level of debt is unsustainable? That this recovery is short lived and a sham? Check the stock market, a leading indicator. About to close under 10k for the first time in a while. All the other stuff you can easily find using Google. Go to it.
Let's see, Reagan inherited an unemployment rate of 7.5% and had been over 6% for a year or more. The inflation rate was in the double digits. Yes, it took time to reverse all that.
Obama inherited an unemployment rate of 7.4% but it had been much lower than that for most of Bush's terms. The inflation rate was under 2%.
Obama=/Reagan.It's amazing how full of shit you are.
With every economist claiming it was going to get worse and even all politicians during elections talking about how bad the economy was and we were headed into bad times, and only a little over a year into his presidency, its alreading beginning to turn around. YOu admit it takes time for reversal when its a republican, but state the opposite when talking about Obama
More evidence you are nothing more than a troll or a completely moronic hack
You have already proven yourself a name-caller and insipid poster. This is no different. Wow, "only" a year and a trillion dollars spent on nothing and we have this spiffy recovery. What a fucking tool you must be. Do you suck this much in real life?
that's all Rabbi has. Now expect a response to your post from that has nothing to do with what's being discussed here.Which claim? That we have spent more than any other recession and gotten less? (look at Grant's Interest Rate Observer for evidence)
False. Care to be more specific about your source, like a link? I'm just finding a bunch of right-wing talking points about other subjects on their site.

And now the stock market is the leading indicator?
ROFL. Does the "leading indicator" change by the week depending on what's supporting your argument?

NAFTA was signed by Bill Clinton and approved by many Democrats in Congress.This is the weakest recovery in the post war period, despite having spent more on it than any other recovery. Maybe Keynesiasm really doesn't work?
Bullshit. It's better than standing by and watching the economy of the whole effing world collapse - yes, the WHOLE WORLD - most CDO's were sold overseas, you know. You guys had since Reagan to begin to push NAFTA, deregulate, start unnecessary wars for MIC profit and give welfare to nonexistent farms, millionaires and oil companies... you had many years worth of hard work to break it. It's going to take some time and money to fix. Moron.

I think you've just defined your credibility on this board.
Entertaining indeeddeflection. There isn't the will in this country to do what it will take to eliminate the problem. Start executing people and you'll see changes. Criminals are deterred by two things: How likely are they to get caught? What will happen to them if they do? Make the odds of both of those unacceptably high to them and they'll change.
Nope. China had a terrible opium problem from the 19th century until the communist revolution. Now they don't. What happened? They instituted what I posted above. Yup, it works.

Only you have heard that, oh sewage handler. You are hearing things as well as seeing things. Lay off the dope, dope.

Which means that Obama inherited an economy that was falling much faster than Carter's recession.
And, the unemployment rate in the first full month of Obama's presidency, February, which is the only point one can seriously start to blame Obama for, was 8.2%, NOT 7.4%.
And what, praytell, did the inflation rate have to do with rising unemployment?
As far as I know, inflation and unemployment have an inverse relationship. If inflation is high, unemployment is low, and vice versa.
Has that somehow changed?

Obviously. Under Carter both inflation and unemployment reached high levels. Are you too young to remember "Stagflation"? If so don't worry because we'll be getting more of that with Obama.
Reagan inherited a dysfunctional economy that had been suffering since LBJ. Obama inherited one that had been doing fine since Reagan. There's the difference. Obama has managed to turn a small downturn into the worst recession since the 1930s.

Reagan's recovery was worse, took almost three years, and unemployment peaked at 10.8%. Maybe you should study economics, history, and leave off the demagoguery.
Beat me to it.
The unemployment rate under Reagan didn't stop rising until it reached 10.4%, 2 1/2 years after he took office.
Obama=/Reagan .
