What If?

When RR took office in 1980 we were in trouble, not as bad as 08, but we were headed there
In 8 years we were on a roll that lasted until 2008 in all reality

Same with in the year 2000 to some extent especially after the Nasdaq bubble, 9-11 along with the 1000s of Enrons that collapsed towards the end of 2001
(see Calpine as an example also)
From 03 to the middle of 07 we had a very good run again

What if in 2008 we had a GWB?
a RR?

GWB did not cause the credit bubble and as far as I am concerned no politician really did. If real estate value remained hi, there would have never been a problem

We are using the "not-in" numbers to show we are having job growth, there is some but it is very little
mostly in Texas, La, Oklahoma, ND, SD, little any where else

At this time we have 88 million people in the not in work force and it has grown over 2 million people in 1 year
Table A-1. Employment status of the civilian population by sex and age

What if? Where would we be today with a center right President?
What is? Where would we be?
We created 40 million jobs in those years until 2008, we have created 0 sense

What if?

Prediction: This will be another 200+ posts of blah blah blah by the time the thread is finished. What if you were to let someone else get the last word; just once.

PS: We didn't find WMDs in Iraq.

Yes we did as presented to congress
both before and after invasion
Defense.gov News Article: Munitions Found in Iraq Meet WMD Criteria, Official Says
WASHINGTON, June 29, 2006 – The 500 munitions discovered throughout Iraq since 2003 and discussed in a National Ground Intelligence Center report meet the criteria of weapons of mass destruction, the center's commander said here today.
"These are chemical weapons as defined under the Chemical Weapons Convention, and yes ... they do constitute weapons of mass destruction," Army Col. John Chu told the House Armed Services Committee.
The Chemical Weapons Convention is an arms control agreement which outlaws the production, stockpiling and use of chemical weapons. It was signed in 1993 and entered into force in 1997.

Now that you have harmed your reputation CC, whats next?
 
what if JRK was introduced to reality?

Explain to us what any politician did to force person A to take on more credit than he or she could pay back or in time there asset could off set?
Or vise versa?
Why did person B loan person A more wealth than they could afford to pay back or there asset value Sustain?

No matter what realville you live in, people not policy caused the credit bubble
they made the choices to pay of there free will certain wealth's for certain assets that in time lost that value

What policy forced those events?

I ask a simple question. If we had a center right president such as GWB or RR would we be still in this economic mess?
