The economic recovery could have been much, much better. We could have invested more in infrastructure, we could have demanded more recovery money went to jobs rather than profit
But we had a GOP hellbent on austerity during a recovery. While millions are looking for jobs......NOW is the time to cut spending
Yeah I know, the good intentions of the halo wearing, angelic Democrats were once again foiled by the pitch fork toting, demonic Republicans, makes for a nice fairy tale but falls somewhat short in the objective analysis department.
Nothing personal, you seem like a nice guy (gal?) but I'm really not interested in partisan pom-pom waiving and "we good, they bad" parroted talking points.
The behavior of Republicans while the country was trying to recover from an economic collapse of their making as bordering on criminal
The fact that they refused to participate in a recovery being led by a Democrat was one of the saddest piece of placing politics over the needs of our country in history
Don't forget how Republicans secretly support ISIS, want grandma to get kicked out of her home and look through medicine cabinets at dinner parties
I also don't forget that Republicans supported TARP, stimulus and bailouts to help Bush recover during the economic collapse
But not a single Republicans would support the same things for Obama
They should have voted against that government waste both times
The economy was in collapse. Nobody in the private sector was willing to invest in it. It was only the Government willing to dump a trillion dollars into the economy and assure the world that our banks would not fail
It stopped a depression
