Nobody could have fixed the economy in 4 years.....

[Darkwind]

Just based upon the subject title, because I cannot see this primates posts, I know this is a lie.

Economists said that we would have recovered by 2010 if no one did anything.

Obama actually made it worse.

Upon taking office, with the economy in the tank, he immediately set out to saddle the American people with the most blatant socialist takeover of our country ever.

No one can fix a problem if they are working on something other than the problem.

Talk about lying. The vast majority of noted economists very clearly stated that we'd have been in a full blown depression if nothing were done. You are aware that GDP shrank more in the 4th quarter of 2008 than since 1930. This wasn't a business cycle recession. This was an economy going off a cliff.

As for your contention that people can only work on one problem at a time, I guess you don't know that most people, especially leaders, are capable of multitasking. Are you really dumb enough to believe that a President has the luxury of only working on one thing at a time?

bullshit....the economists of the time (2009) all stated that if no one did anything, we would be into recovery by 2010. Obama caused the problem to be worse than it was. You see, we were ALREADY in a full blown depression....Perhaps you should lay off the weed.

As for your contention that people can work on more than one problem at a time, I agree. But when millions of people voted for you because you said you were going to work on THAT problem until it was solved, and then didn't......well, even a primate can see who the fucking liars are.

OP- BTW, I think he could have done it without mindless Pub Obstruction. That Jobs Act Transportation Bill Pubs have been sitting on for a year? MORE than 2% growth added, 1% UE lowered.

Please NOTE- Sweden was the first to get out of the Great Depression, AND this one- with Keynesian deficit spending.

President Clinton in his speech last night stated that although he inherited a bad economy from Bush Sr., the economy that Obama received from Bush Jr. was much worse, and that no president, not him, nor any of his predecessors could have fixed the economy in only 4 years.

Maybe Obama's new slogan should be "saved in 4, fixed by 8".

Reagan inherited a worse economy, and he did it in 17 months.

 

[francoHFW]

I'm a retired teacher, azzhole. My health care is fine, and with Obama it will stay that way and get cheaper, and insurance companies can't take it away on a technicality anymore. Try thinking about others and whistling past the graveyard.

So Gatsby thinks some Pubs voted for it? That's what you find out- the dupes know NOTHING but talking points and STUPID insults. JFC! LOL

November will not be your friend, bank it.

Ya got nuthin, chump. Read something LOL. Start with my sig and, finally, LEARN SOMETHING TRUE.

You are out of your brainwashed tiny little mind. Carter had bad inflation, but jobs were growing by 4 million, not losing 750k a month and a total world financial meltdown, a 9% retraction and the middle class losing 40% of their wealth, you MORON. JFC LOL! IDIOT.

 

[Pasco08]

Honestly that mess couldn't of been fixed in 4 years anyone who thinks otherwise is insane.

 

[bripat9643]

BTW last time i checked, the Depression of 1920 was still the deepest depression in history. And we recovered from that very quickly compared to the economic downturns that werent as deep but which had politicians trying to fix it with government intervention.

The definition of "depression" is a recession that Democrats try to fix.

 

[bripat9643]

He said the depression of 1920, numskull

BTW last time i checked, the Depression of 1920 was still the deepest depression in history. And we recovered from that very quickly compared to the economic downturns that werent as deep but which had politicians trying to fix it with government intervention.

Go back to school and learn your history, it took over 10 years.

1929
Recession begins in August, two months before the stock market crash. During this two month period, production will decline at an annual rate of 20 percent, wholesale prices at 7.5 percent, and personal income at 5 percent.
Stock market crash begins October 24. Investors call October 29 Black Tuesday. Losses for the month will total $16 billion, an astronomical sum in those days.
1930
By February, the Federal Reserve has cut the prime interest rate from 6 to 4 percent. Treasury Secretary Andrew Mellon announces that the Fed will stand by as the market works itself out: 'Liquidate labor, liquidate real estate... values will be adjusted, and enterprising people will pick up the wreck from less-competent people'.
The Smoot-Hawley Tariff passes on June 17. With imports forming only 6 percent of the GNP, the 40 percent tariffs work out to an effective tax of only 2.4 percent per citizen. Even this is compensated for by the fact that American businesses are no longer investing in Europe, but keeping their money stateside. The consensus of modern economists is that the tariff made only a minor contribution to the Great Depression in the U.S., but a major one in Europe.
Supreme Court rules that the monopoly U.S. Steel does not violate anti-trust laws as long as competition exists, no matter how negligible.
The GNP falls 9.4 percent from the year before. The unemployment rate climbs from 3.2 to 8.7 percent.
1931
No major legislation is passed addressing the Depression.
The GNP falls another 8.5 percent; unemployment rises to 15.9 percent.
1932
This and the next year are the worst years of the Great Depression. For 1932, GNP falls a record 13.4 percent; unemployment rises to 23.6 percent.
Industrial stocks have lost 80 percent of their value since 1930.
10,000 banks have failed since 1929, or 40 percent of the 1929 total.
GNP has also fallen 31 percent since 1929.
Over 13 million Americans have lost their jobs since 1929.
International trade has fallen by two-thirds since 1929.
Congress passes the Federal Home Loan Bank Act and the Glass-Steagall Act of 1932.
Top tax rate is raised from 25 to 63 percent.
Popular opinion considers Hoover's measures too little too late. Franklin Roosevelt easily defeats Hoover in the fall election. Democrats win control of Congress.
1933
Roosevelt inaugurated; begins 'First 100 Days'; of intensive legislative activity.
A third banking panic occurs in March. Roosevelt declares a Bank Holiday; closes financial institutions to stop a run on banks.
Alarmed by Roosevelt's plan to redistribute wealth from the rich to the poor, a group of millionaire businessmen, led by the Du Pont and J.P. Morgan empires, plans to overthrow Roosevelt with a military coup and install a fascist government modelled after Mussolini's regime in Italy. The businessmen try to recruit General Smedley Butler, promising him an army of 500,000, unlimited financial backing and generous media spin control. The plot is foiled when Butler reports it to Congress.
Congress authorizes creation of the Agricultural Adjustment Administration, the Civilian Conservation Corps, the Farm Credit Administration, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Emergency Relief Administration, the National Recovery Administration, the Public Works Administration and the Tennessee Valley Authority.
Congress passes the Emergency Banking Bill, the Glass-Steagall Act of 1933, the Farm Credit Act, the National Industrial Recovery Act and the Truth-in-Securities Act.
Roosevelt does much to redistribute wealth from the rich to the poor, but is concerned with a balanced budget. He later rejects Keynes' advice to begin heavy deficit spending.
The free fall of the GNP is significantly slowed; it dips only 2.1 percent this year. Unemployment rises slightly, to 24.9 percent.
1934
Congress authorizes creation of the Federal Communications Commission, the National Mediation Board and the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The economy turns around: GNP rises 7.7 percent, and unemployment falls to 21.7 percent. A long road to recovery begins.
Sweden becomes the first nation to recover fully from the Great Depression. It has followed a policy of Keynesian deficit spending.
1935
The Supreme Court declares the National Recovery Administration to be unconstitutional.
Congress authorizes creation of the Works Progress Administration, the National Labor Relations Board and the Rural Electrification Administration.
Congress passes the Banking Act of 1935, the Emergency Relief Appropriation Act, the National Labor Relations Act, and the Social Security Act.
Economic recovery continues: the GNP grows another 8.1 percent, and unemployment falls to 20.1 percent.
1936
Top tax rate raised to 79 percent.
Economic recovery continues: GNP grows a record 14.1 percent; unemployment falls to 16.9 percent.
1937
The Supreme Court declares the National Labor Relations Board to be unconstitutional.
Roosevelt seeks to enlarge and therefore liberalize the Supreme Court. This attempt not only fails, but outrages the public.
Economists attribute economic growth so far to heavy government spending that is somewhat deficit. Roosevelt, however, fears an unbalanced budget and cuts spending for 1937. That summer, the nation plunges into another recession. Despite this, the yearly GNP rises 5.0 percent, and unemployment falls to 14.3 percent.
1938
No major New Deal legislation is passed after this date, due to Roosevelt's weakened political power.
The year-long recession makes itself felt: the GNP falls 4.5 percent, and unemployment rises to 19.0 percent.
1939
The United States will begin emerging from the Depression as it borrows and spends $1 billion to build its armed forces. From 1939 to 1941, when the Japanese attack Pearl Harbor, U.S. manufacturing will have shot up a phenomenal 50 percent!

The Depression of 1920 wasn't a depression, numbnuts. LOL!

1) Which economists said, "that if no one did anything, we would be into recovery by 2010"?

2) Healthcare reform was also part of President Obama's platform. He got that done as well as a stimulus bill.

3) What should he have done besides what he did as far as the economy was concerned?

 

[asterism]

He could have done a lot more if he actually had a congress that worked with him, they did nothing but buck him and worked their hardest to try and get Obama out, on our tax dollars. Its time for each and everyone of those Free loaders to go.

Obama had 2 years of a Democratic Congress. That's how Obamacare got passed. He was focused on that instead of the economy.

Obama had 26 working days of a filibuster proof senate. That's the reason he got health care reform.

Amazing how incompetent he is as a leader. He needs all 3 branches AND a filibuster proof Senate? Lame excuse for bad results.

 

[asterism]

Well, he had about six months of Senate that was filabuster proof... but to the point, he passed ObamaCare.

The ugly secret of Obamacare. Even its opponents know it's necessary. That's why you didn't see Big Insurance mount a "Harry and Louise" campaign against it. It's why Romney won't say what he'll replace it with.

Obama had to swallow a big pill because it was required to fix a broken system, and he's paying a price for it.

Thats crap. Obama and the Democrats were more interested in their left of center government agenda than the economy. The record clearly shows that.

Oh, is that why there was also a stimulus bill?

Crony capitalism and bailouts to State governments. It didn't stimulate anything.

 

[asterism]

Obama is just not good at getting along with others...
Why should it be different the next four years.
All the Libs at the convention are smelling what the Obama is cooking all right.
But we are looking at another 4 years of the same BS...

Is that why the "loyal opposition" got together before he was sworn in to agree to not cooperate with a single thing he did?

One statement by McConnell doesn't prove anything unless you're going to agree that Nancy Pelosi's comments prove that the Democrats were going to do everything to obstruct Bush.

Well, that's what happens when the opposition is a bunch of dickheads who won't do shit for you because they hate you.


Yeah, I'm playing the "blame game". They deserve it.

It's more than just one statement by one jagoff Repub.

Post some data. How many economists are "noted" and how many agree that we'd be in a full blown depression? Krugman and Romer only count once each, btw. Although Romer should be discredited because she clearly showed her lack of competence.

 

[whitehall]

Nobody could have stolen so much money and distributed it to fellow crooks than the former community activist trained by Bill Ayers who became king. What happened to the stimulus money? Only about 6% of the trillion dollars ended up in "shovel ready jobs". Obama should be sharing a federal prison cell with his Attorney General.

 

[Oldstyle]

It could not have been fixed in four years. What success Obama had was with ZERO help from cons.

Actually he DID get help, Junky...

Barry wanted to pass Cap & Trade legislation but the Republican's victory in the mid-terms kept that from happening. That progressive idiocy would have cost huge numbers of jobs. The same with the EPA greenhouse gas regulations he pulled back on because he was taking so much political heat. Card Check? Even MORE jobs lost overseas. Then let's talk about where new jobs ARE being created. It sure as heck hasn't been in progressive strongholds like Illinois and California...nah, the bulk of the new jobs that HAVE been created have been created in States run by Republican Governors doing basically what Mitt Romney says he wants to do for the Nation.

Gee, Junky...if you ask me...Barack Obama has gotten LOTS of help from the "cons".

Except Obama said it would be. So all that sorta goes out the window....

Actually he is right, the economy he got from Bush Sr. wasn't bad at all it was quite good as a matter of fact. He is a liar of the first degree, he even does it under oath.

History has shown that the bigger the recession the bigger the recovery, until OBAMA. Obama could have been a hero, instead he is a zero.

Presidents can't fix the economy they can only hurt the recovery by getting in the way. that is what we said 4 years ago and that is exactly what happened. Obama promised you a lot, such as unemployment under 8 percent. Cutting the deficit in half. Neither of them did he do or could he do. He is exactly what we said 4 years ago, inexperienced and in over his head.

Did anyone think that the economy would NEVER bounce back? Of course it would it has always bounced back and the bigger the recession the bigger the bounce, until OBAMA.
