why is the Economy so good under Obumba?

[nodoginnafight]

The economy is recovering as quickly as it ever has from such an economic event. Anyone who tells you one politician or even one political party could have done better is simply a rhetoric-spewing, hyper-partisan hack.

When your political future depends on convincing people that times are bad - they are going to twist every piece of good news into bad. Predictable - but so sad. They put their political fortunes ahead of the good of the nation.

Don't buy in.

You didn't mention the federal reserve You were talking about the stock market and the economy. What business is it of our's too tell a private bank how to run it's affairs?

To jog everyone's memory, George W. Bush - a Republican - was the man who set the precedent that it's OK for the Federal Government to "bail out" a private bank (under guidance of his Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson).

Thanks to legislation that Bush enacted in 2008 (a month or so before Obama was sworn in), our private banking industry now knows that no matter how bad they mess up, there will always be a Federal Gov't there who will swoop in to rescue them in times of great need. How's that for an incentive? Be as risky as you like, because we'll be there to protect you no matter what.

Congress holds the purse strings of the nation. Who held Congress?

Weak argument for a few reasons. First it was Bush's cabinet that first suggested we bailout the banks. Secondly, many Republicans voted for it. And thirdly, Bush personally signed the legislation into law.

B/c dems are far far worse and we don't have enough of us to beat liberals.

Now to address the stimulus.Ponzi mega trillion Ponzi scheme. The big donors got the big bucks.

Even a Kennedy got $$$$$$$$$$$$$ for some "green initiative".

Face it. You gave the keys to the bank vault to libs from Cheeeeeeeeeeeeecago.

You gave them the keys.

Why do I have to address anything? When did I ever mention I was happy about the stimulus legislation?

Also, I don't recall personally giving keys to anyone....

B/c dems are far far worse and we don't have enough of us to beat liberals.

It would also help if conservatives avoid nominating guys like George Bush, who sign and support socialist legislation (such as TARP) which distorts the free market and sets a precedent that banks can be as risky as they like because the Big Gov't will always be there to protect and nurture when the going gets rough.

I mean, Bush was a Republican right?

CNNMoney - Business, financial and personal finance news the stock market is doing great and Unemployment is down.. why are things doing so well?

Things are doing so well Gracie? Really?

I have family members staying with me [that I fully financially support] that can't find work under ANY circumstances.

WTF are you going on about?

I was told by your fellow conservatives that there are plenty of jobs out there if they really wanted to work. Apparently your family members are just lazy.

Bush; Social con, economic moderate, Constitutional liberal

he passed plenty of regualations. all regulations do is prevent new competition from growing, ensuring that companies become to big to fail.

obama did nothing to prevent the economy from failing, he just created more regs that no one can follow or understand w/o a team of lawyers.

here's a couple I heard about last night;

selling shiny toy guns is a $5000 fine, each.

All public pools (hotels, motels, etc) must install an electric handicap aide to help cripples into the pool. There's ~ 15 million pools, the company that makes the aide can only make 50,000 a year.

Wouldn't the company be happy about that? That's creating more revenue and more jobs for them. You can find something to complain about with everything, can't you?

I don't think all regulations are bad. For instance, I don't think a company should be able to dump all of its manufacturing waste into a river. But I agree, many regulations work only to inhibit competition (and are specifically designed to do just that).

Also, by the time Obama took office in 2008, the economy had already failed. The housing bubble burst in 2006, and our country was losing about 700,00 jobs per month the day Bush passed the steering wheel to the new guy.

If there ever was a time the government could have stopped the economy from failing, you'll have to look back to the Clinton years and the Bush W. years.

Uh, no sir. You're dishonestly twisting around my words to suit your own personal needs.

Specifically what I said is that the economy had already failed by the time Obama had taken office. A job loss rate of 700,000 per month is not an economy on the verge of collapse, it's an economy that had already collapsed.

And why am I all of a sudden categorized as a "liberal"? Am I not allowed to criticize the almighty George W? Not to mention that I specifically called the former President out for signing into law socialist legislation. I hate to say it, but you're coming off as rather thick..

comprehension not a strong suit eh

$5000 fine for each toy gun

How much is the fine going to be for each pool that doesn't have, now proper access, while they wait and wait for theres to show up?

Yes I can use that word also your dishonesty.

No one force obama to take the job during an economy he and other democrats who controlled congress help to create.

As for your dishonesty blaming just bush and not the democrats with a junior senator obama. That is the dishonesty of most democrats.

i wonder how much longer the DOW stays over 13,000? (i bet not too long)

 

[usmcstinger]

CNNMoney - Business, financial and personal finance news the stock market is doing great and Unemployment is down.. why are things doing so well?

The stock market is run and controlled by speculators the unemployment numbers are controlled by obama's labor department. You do the math.

Since you have not provided a source, your simplistic statement is meaningless.
