Obama's list of accomplishes in regards to the economy

Are any accomplishments posted by the OP incorrect?? If they are, please tell us. Otherwise, why don't you go soak your stupid head???

I did, point by point. Funny thing was that quite a few of them were not Obama accomplishments, a couple of them have not happened yet, and the ones that were actual accomplishments had nothing to do with the economy.

I was really directing the question to Stephanie. She loves to mouth off but there is never any substance. But thanks for responding. :)

I know who you were talking to. Why should anyone else bother to do what I did when none of the Obama supporters has even bothered to respond to me actually debunking the points? Maybe you should stop whinging about other people not responding and do so yourself.
 
The problem isn't a lack of accomplishments. It's that his accomplishments have screwed the nation.

My comment stands. You are playing semantics. If anything he has done has screwed the nation, then it is not an accomplishment. Can you explain??


People on the left insist on calling them accomplishments. We're just using the language we're handed. The semantic games are being played by the people who consider any legislation or regulation Obama has gotten on the books an accomplishment no matter what it was.

That's not true. And if Stephanie likes what you have to say, that is not a good sign.

If you knew that I was talking to her, then what is the problem??? And why should any Obama supporter try to debunk the points you made?? Experience has taught us that it is an excercise in futility. Reasonable conservatives are in short supply on this site. And I was not whining about anything. Merely pointing out to Stephanie, which I have many times, to respond to my posts when she has something of substance to say. Don't think that is at all unreasonable.

Experience has taught you that it is an exercise in futility to debate with me? Could that be because I am always right?

Tell you what, just to save you the trouble of going through the thread, here is my post. Feel free to go through it and point out where I am being unreasonable. Personally, I think listing something that has not happened as an accomplishment (the infrastructure bank) or attributing TARP to Obama is unreasonable, but I am willing to see your arguments in support of the fact that I am crazy.

Also, some of the so called accomplishments regarding the economy have nothing to do with the economy. That is something else I think is unreasonable, but I have been known to be wrong in the past.


EDIT: I apologize for the double posting, and I meant "accomplishments" in my title.

My guess the list is going to be as good as you posting abilities.

He pushed through and signed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, otherwise known as “the stimulus package,” despite the fact that not one Republican voted for that bill. In addition, he launched recovery.gov, so that taxpayers could track spending from the Act. The Recovery Act Recovery.gov - Tracking the Money

Recovery dot gov was an accomplishment? ISn't that the site that had jobs being saved or created in congressional districts that do not exist?



And it only cost of just over 4.5%, which makes it a net drain on the economy.



That was Bush's idea, not Obama's, you can tell because it forced banks that did not need it to take money anyway, which made it really easy, of costly, for them to pay it back.



Are you talking about the program that only helped people who did not need help? That was a great idea, wasn't it?



You really do like that half-truth, don't you? Remember, a half truth is still a lie.

PolitiFact | Nancy Pelosi says jobs increased faster in 2010 than in eight years under Bush



That came from TARP, which was Bush's program. At best you can say he allocated the funds.



Your own link points out that the funding was not doubled. Interesting, to say the least.



How many charges have been filed as a result of the law? Was he only playing politics here and not actually doing anything?

By the way, can you explain how this was helpful to the economy if it actually resulted in what it was supposed to?



Another law that got its start under Bush. Can you tell me why Reid never brought it up for a vote until after Obama was in office?



Years of neglect? Seriously?

By the way, your link does not do anything but talk about a poll that says Americans support infrastructure spending, it contains no numbers on how much it was increased, or even if it was increased.



It helped it recover? When did that happen? Last time I looked at the numbers the numbers were still way down, and had not bottomed out yet.



Interesting. Are you aware that the speech you cited was over a year before the program you are crediting him with was passed?



Not exactly a new thing, the SBA has been doing that for years. All you can really credit him for is giving the program its own domain name.



How did that work out again?



Commendable, but what does it have to with the economy?



Do you know that the bank doesn't exist yet? Giving Obama credit for things Bush did is one thing, but how on Earth can you give him credit for things that have not even happened?



He gave GM and Chrysler to the unions and screwed over middle class people who had their pensions tied up in those companies, quite an accomplishment. He should be a Republican.



Many are of the opinion that Obama stopped the oceans from rising. I want actual facts, not opinions from a few fringe idiots.



No he didn't, none of those teachers would have been unemployed. School districts hand out pink slips every year in order to scare people into giving them more money, yet they hire all the teachers back even if they don't get it.



Why should the federal government support police and firefighters, or teachers? Shouldn't that come from the local level? Besides, all it did was delay the inevitable, when that funding ran out police, and firefighters, were laid off.



Again, Bush program.

Of course, we now know that the stimulus actually created 2.6 million jobs.

really? then where are they?
the only jobs the Obama created was more Guberment jobs for his buddies. by creating new government agencies under the guise of helping the poor citizens with their finances, like hold their hands when they take out loans....cause they be too stupid without the guberments help
In 2011, the federal government cut over 105,000 jobs. The federal government now employs 273,000 fewer jobs than when Reagan when was in office.

After losing 750,000 jobs a month before this administration, the U.S. economy under Barack Obama has had 20 straight months of growth, has added 2.8 million jobs in the private sector and added "millions of jobs in manufacturing.

Given the mess that kicked off in 2007 when Bear Stearns went belly up, I'll credit both Bush II and Obama's treasury and FED for keeping things from completely melting down.

This economy is a such a STRUCTURAL disaster, that the fact that we're not all standing in bread lines is something of a miracle.

I addressed every single point you made separately, and you ignored it. Don't tell me my thinking is narrow until you actually prove I do not know what I am talking about. It looks to me like you post BS, then ignore the fact that someone actually proved you wrong. As a simple example, you gave Obama credit for implementing an infrastructure bank.

Absolute load of bullshit

The Federal Reserve Board put the number of jobs created by the ARRA at zero. 2 million jobs were funded, then vanished the moment the federal funding ceased.
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 was designed to stop the net job lost which it did. It wasn't designed to create a lot of permanent jobs. It's purpose was to slow job lost, giving the private sector time to begin creating jobs. At it's peak, it was fully or partially funding over 2 million jobs. Currently it's funding just over 400,000 jobs. Much of the money went to local government, funding road projects law enforcement, fire fighters, and teacher salaries. Now that the funds are drying up, governments are laying off a lot people. In 2011, state and local governments have cut nearly 250,000 jobs. The federal government has cut over 100,000.

Without ARRA, things would have been worse and the recovery would have been slower.

Absolute load of bullshit

The Federal Reserve Board put the number of jobs created by the ARRA at zero. 2 million jobs were funded, then vanished the moment the federal funding ceased.
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 was designed to stop the net job lost which it did. It wasn't designed to create a lot of permanent jobs. It's purpose was to slow job lost, giving the private sector time to begin creating jobs. At it's peak, it was fully or partially funding over 2 million jobs. Currently it's funding just over 400,000 jobs. Much of the money went to local government, funding road projects law enforcement, fire fighters, and teacher salaries. Now that the funds are drying up, governments are laying off a lot people. In 2011, state and local governments have cut nearly 250,000 jobs. The federal government has cut over 130,000.

I'm curious, Flopper...you say the Obama Stimulus was designed to stop job loss until the private sector could begin to create jobs? Yet, the stimulus was overwhelmingly spent propping up the public sector. So if it's the private sector that creates jobs...then why didn't we spend the bulk of the stimulus propping up the private sector so that we'd see those jobs sooner? Why did we spend billions on public sector jobs and extending unemployment benefits that are now being lost because funds are drying up?

I pointed out this flaw in the Obama Stimulus three years ago and was pooh poohed by you progressives who somehow thought a goverment job was no different than a private sector job. The fatal flaw in that concept lies in the simple fact that private sector jobs bring in additional revenue TO government with which it funds it's employees and programs. Stimulating government jobs doesn't generate revenue...so when the funds run out...the jobs end up getting cut...like now.
 
If you knew that I was talking to her, then what is the problem??? And why should any Obama supporter try to debunk the points you made?? Experience has taught us that it is an excercise in futility. Reasonable conservatives are in short supply on this site. And I was not whining about anything. Merely pointing out to Stephanie, which I have many times, to respond to my posts when she has something of substance to say. Don't think that is at all unreasonable.

LOL, maybe your men jump through hoops for you but I don't.. I DON'T have to respond as you wish...so tough shit:lol:

You are so predictable. Imagine my asking you to have something to say besides petty insults. Silly me.

Just returning the same..now leave me the hell out of your pettiness. all will be good
 
How many jobs did BushII's tax breaks for billionaires create?

Anybody know?

If you think you know, show me how you arrived at that number.
