More bad news for Republicans - Record car sales

[Pinocchio]

If the reps had gotten elected in 2008, we would be in a deep depression now.

The dems did the hard work with the stimulus to get us out of the hole the reps got US into.

Kinda like the dog who pooped on the rug and wants to blame it on the cat.

 

[Jroc]

[Harry Dresden]

America has added 5 million private sector jobs since the stimulus.

the hard work with the stimulus?

Exactly how hard is it to borrow money to pay a man to dig a hole and another man to fill it back up?

Please explain the "hard work"...

FYI....now...if Obama were able to create jobs WITHOUT borrowing money.....THEN I would say he worked hard.

But it is not rocket science to find that a job is created by borrowing money and giving it to a man to hire someone to pave a road.

Not rocket science but basic economics. Compare to the fable "the grass hopper and the ants". In the great depression, cutting taxes wouldn't have helped and trickle down would have been just that .... a trickle.

O has a net negative in job creation thus far. Bush had a net positive of one million jobs created.

 

[Wry Catcher]

Umemployment has dropped from 10.2% to 8.1%
The stock market has doubled since the stimulus.
5 million private sector jobs have been created since 2009.
GDP has been growing since 2009.
Americans net worth is up $10 trillion dollars since 2009.
Auto sales are up. Retail sales are up. Home sales are up.
Bin Laden is dead, and GM is alive.
Obama has done a very good job.

You are so full of shit, I can smell you all the way over here in God's country.

Do you really believe calling someone "full of shit" proves anything? The only thing 'learned' from you post is you have no facts to support your opinion. Oh yeah, post "unemployment is still 8%" as if one stat proves anything. Below is evidence of something:

Aug 2008 - 334,000 net JOBS LOST Boooooooooosh budget.
Sep 2008 - 458,000 net JOBS LOST Ditto
Oct 2008 - 554,000 net JOBS LOST Ditto
Nov 2008 - 728,000 net JOBS LOST Ditto
Dec 2008 - 673,000 net JOBS LOST Ditto

Not rocket science but basic economics. Compare to the fable "the grass hopper and the ants". In the great depression, cutting taxes wouldn't have helped and trickle down would have been just that .... a trickle.

First off....contrary to what the administration wanted you to believe...this was not the great depression. It didnt even rank number 2. When we had unemployment well inot the teens and prime rates at 20%, things were much worse.

Secondly...it may be basic economics...but as anyone who understands economics will telol you, basic economics is theory and not always applicable when human nature comes into play.

Sure...sounds good.....borrow a dollar and give it to a man who will hire sdomeone for that dollar and untimately spend that dollar...and pay taxes on that dollar....creating revenue to help pay the interest on that borrowed dollar....

However.....

When you borrow a dollar to hire a man for a dollar, the hired man knows it is borrowed money and therefore there is not an unlimited amount of dollars coming down the road....so he is aware his job is likely temporary...so as opposed to spending that dollar, he will spend only half that dollar and save the other half for if and when he is unemployed.

Now...sure...you can say "but at least he spent half that dollar".

True....yet...

That half a dollar is equal to what he was getting on unemployment...so no extra money being spent in the economy.....and since he is working, he cant go out and seek a permanent job.

So, you see....borrow a dollar...get no positive returns above NOT borrowing the dollar..

And thus why we have seen absolutely no growth in our economy.

U.S. car buyers flooded showrooms in September, sending auto sales to their highest level in more than four years. Overall sales were were up 13% from a year ago, according to sales tracker Autodata, which put the pace of sales at an annual rate of just under 15 million vehicles.

Best car sales since early '08 - Oct. 2, 2012

The economy is steadily ticking up, up and up and more and more Americans, every day realize this. Coupled with the fact that Americans have NOT forgotten who nor how we got to this mess, *cough* Bush *cough* Cheney *cough* Republican rule *cough*.

Meanwhile the Republicans are steadily proclaiming how DISMAL Obama has been the last 4 years and how bad the economy is, while many are simultaneously saying how THEIR OWN policies improved the status of their local economies.

I mean...these RWers are so mixed up and all over the place they can't tell Ess from Shinola.

And the public is SEEING it.

Housing starts up 29% as well.

Housing is still very bad and foreclosures are at all time highs! It would be hard for housing NOT to be up given how hard it fell!

But ask any real estate agent if they think the housing market has rebounded and they will laugh in your face, but your probably used to that!

Obama economy even worse than anticipated: CBO report predicts scary recession ahead

The Obama economy is weaker than previously forecast and darker days lie ahead. If you think the feeble economy under this administration is bad, wait until next year when the Congressional Budget Office says it could fall into another deep recession if there’s no year-end deal to forestall nearly half-a-trillion dollars in income tax hikes and spending cuts.

Among the revised forecasts in CBO’s report, released Wednesday, the economy in the first half of 2013 would see a severe 2.9 percent contraction in the gross domestic product, “similar in magnitude to the recession of the early 1990s.” By the second half of next year, CBO thinks the economy would be limping at 1.9 percent growth, weaker than it previously had forecast. These are much gloomier forecasts than CBO reported in January, but the forecasting arm of Congress now says it thinks the nation’s underlying economy is weaker than they had earlier estimated.

Obama's Accelerating Downward Spiral For America - Forbes

New income data from the Census Bureau reveal what a great job Barack Obama has done for the middle class as President. During his entire tenure in the oval office, median household income has declined by 7.3%.

In January, 2009, the month he entered office, median household income was $54,983. By June, 2012, it had spiraled down to $50,964. That’s a loss of $4,019 per family, the equivalent of losing a little less than one month’s income a year, every year. And on our current course that is only going to get worse not better.

Obama Wins The Gold For Worst Economic Recovery Ever - Forbes

If mismanaging an economic recovery were an Olympic event, President Obama would be standing on the middle platform right now, accepting the gold medal.

Deep recessions are supposed to be followed by strong recoveries, but, under Obama, the worst recession since the 1930s has been followed by the slowest economic recovery in the history of the republic. In a very real sense, there has been no recovery at all—things are still getting worse.

You stand corrected. You're welcome.

[Remodeling Maidiac]

Wonder why that is?

Unions perhaps?

Obama went into the positive.
