Unemployment barely moved for the worse over the first 7 of 8 years
I love how the conservatives pick their 7 year windows...
Bush kept us safe for the last 7 years of his presidency
Bush had low unemployment for the first 7 years of his presidency
Come on guys....what ever happened to looking at his whole presidency? Why do the 9-11 attacks get cut out? Why do you ignore the economic collapse at the end of his presidency?
/\How "leftwinger" views the mona lisa:
Why are the American people never to blame or get credit for what occurs in the economy. Why is it always associated with the President. Talk about a simplistic view of the economy.
The difference here is Democrats think we need government to create jobs for us, Republicans know the truth is the best thing Government can do is GET THE FUCK out of the way and let the private sector create them.

things are not alwasy black and white and as simplistic as you say when the details are looked at.
Some people believe companies should never be bailed out, but...backed bailing out the companies in the last few years because when a whole industry is in danger because of one huge private sector company, the government has a duty to save the economy and the nation.
you would have your ideological principles bankrupt the nation. your ideological view is bankrupt and as realistic as it gets

This Administration could not have done anything to create the collapse as it started before they were in power. However DEMOCRATS were running congress since jan 2007, and Most clear thinking people agree this massive economic problem we are in now was Decades in the making and can not be blamed on any one administration.
Now lets talk about what this Administration has done to make this problem last longer. That is Obama's failing. He did not create the problem. But his attempts to "fix" it have made things even worse in the long run, and the uncertainty he is creating is doing a number on the Economy right now.
Some experts say Business is holding on to 4 Trillion dollars in cash right now, because they are afraid and have NO FUCKING clue what to expect out of this WH and congress, they just know it probably wont be good.
You are welcome to discuss any of these economic facts. Posting facts does not make one a troll. Answering facts with name calling does
RW, you only care about part of the "facts" and that's the issue and why you are a nothing more than a Troll.
Everything you post is supported by Government money, it will not last, its unsustainable and in the end will have to be paid back so there is a enormous cost attached to floating the economy until another bubble comes along.
What would happen if the stimulus were taken out right now RW? A depression? Wouldnt one be able to conclude that while you can argue that see, the stimulus has helped!! someone else can easily point out that all it is doing is prolonging a recession that at some point will still need to turn into a depression?
How long does this stimulus need to go on RW? Without it all this growth would dry up in less than a months time. No one educated on the matter cares about you bogus numbers.
Its FDR all over again, as you and I have debated. I said nothing ever got better and you say because unemployment would go up and down from 25% to 17% that things DID get better FDR floated the economy until the war sucked up the rest of the unemployed, 16 million people went to war. AFTER WWII the world was in ruin, not America and that allowed for the VERY rare opportunity for the USs manufacturing to BOOM like wtf style. What bubble do you see coming to save us RW? Remember we are already CURRENTLY in TWO wars, despite the mission accomplished banner on Iraq Obama has pulled.
YOU are a Big War loving, Big Company, Big Government supporting noob. All it took was a black man with a D next to his name to obtain your undying support.
Sad times
Glad to see you finally discussing the issue at hand rather than insult posts...its an improvement
It might even make sense if you could show me a Republican administration that ran on a ballanced budget, show me a Republican administration that didn't run on a massive deficit, show me one that decreased the size of the government and cut spending
I would rather pay off Obama's 800 billion stimulus to spark the economy and help Americans, rather than the Bush $5 trillion deficit that provided tax cuts for wealthy Americans and paid for two wars
CBO finds 3.7M jobs created by stimulus - The Hill's On The Money
Imagine that!
Republicans took over a strong economy with a budget surplus and only managed to create 1 million jobs while they were in power.
Obama took over in the worst recession in 70 years and created 3 million jobs
A report by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office shows the Recovery Act has increased the number of workers by between 1.2 million and 2.8 million. The CBO also projects that 3.7 million jobs could be attributed to the stimulus by the end of September.
Awww now this is no fair, you just made it soo much harder for them to keep lying to themselves.
The lies are strong in these ones and they will no doubt be able to resist the truth.
Time top apply logic so the idoits can see it......
Reasons for loss of jobs during the Bush years:
Technology:
Boolean search engine development and implementation resulted in no longer needing extensive research departments
Phone technology and advanced voice mail resulted in no longer needing receptionists and switchboard operators
CNC Machining replaced manual machining resulting in needing 1/3 the machinists, no set up people, fewer QA people
Advanced computer graphics technology resulted in the need of smaller or no creative staff
Advanced copiers resulted in smaller copy room staff
E-mail minimized the need for large mailrooms
Etc......
Outsourcing:
A small minority of companies outsourced to other countries but such activity coupled with international policy resulted in many foreign plants opening up in the US
Yet despite the loss of the above referenced jobs...
Unemployment barely moved for the worse over the first 7 of 8 years
the population grew by 25 million (per RW's claim) yet the unemployment numbers did not change for the worse
And still 1 million net jobs were gained.
And how could this be?
The tax cuts put more money in the consumer's pockets resulting in an increase in the demand for goods and services.
Enough with the spinning of the data.
The truth is the truth.
