Best Presidents for the Economy...

[copsnrobbers]

I'm sure that the 24 million people who are unemployed or underemployed LOVE your "evidence", Seawyche!

The constant refrain from the Left about how much the economy has "improved" since Barry took office is laughable since he started at the height of a recession. A better gauge of his performance as President is the strength of the recovery since EVERY recession is followed by a recovery. The truth is that we are mired in the worst recovery from a recession since the Great Depression FOUR YEARS after Obama was elected and much of that is directly attributed to his policies.

That has nothing to do with "hating" the President. It's simply reality. We've spent trillions of dollars in stimulus and quantitative easing in order to kick start this economy and it hasn't worked. Why? Because the Obama Administration's policies are holding it back. His latest "plan" to fix the economy is a perfect example. In the midst of a slow economy he proposes raising taxes as the solution to the country's ills despite the fact that will further slow the economy and cost more jobs. I'm sorry, Seawyche but our current President and his minions either don't understand economics or they've chosen to ignore basic economic principles because it plays well with their "base" in an election year. Either way, what they propose is bad for the country.

Anyone who says that raising taxes will hurt the economy is ignoring the 50s and 90s. What were the taxes under Roosevelt when we had the sharpest drop in unemployment?

There was only one way to go..

The Best Presidents for the Economy


Wow...look how the former businessmen did...not so good.

So the unemployment rate stayed in the shitter during Obama and the rich got richer.

Kind of blows his "I'm for the little guy" act all to hell, doesn't it?

More like it blows the "Obama is bad for business" meme the RW has been touting. Corporations are doing great, but it's the President's fault they won't hire?

Anyone that says raising taxes in a down economy will hurt said economy paid attention in economics class, Seawyche. Anyone who says that raising taxes won't...was out smoking a fattie when they should have been in class.

Unemployment 0.0 wow!

Millions out of work no longer matter.
Disability has risen into the millions, it doesn't count.
Temporary jobs don't count.
Self employed S corps are people, closed up.. They don't count.
and on and on...
Our unemployment is above 20% a 14% increase since we got this fraud in office.

Your side CONSTANTLY talks about how Clinton raised taxes and created millions of jobs. The only problem is that concept as it relates to now, is that it was the Dot Com Boom that created millions of jobs and gave the economy a huge boost that enabled Clinton to raise tax rates. We don't HAVE a Dot Com Boom now.

 

[mudwhistle]

I'm going to have to disagree with your contention that Clinton was "lucky".

Yes, he had the Dot Com Boom but at heart Bill Clinton was always much more of a fiscal conservative that Obama could ever be. After Clinton got his ass kicked by the first mid-term vote he was intelligent enough to pivot to the center and work with the Republican House. Contrast that with what Obama has done with the same circumstance.

Clinton got waylaid by voters for his $400 billion tax increase......yet he was smart enough to learn to do what had to be done......even though he went down kicking and screaming over welfare reform.

Obama isn't like Clinton. He thinks he's right and nobody can convince him otherwise. So while Rome is burning he's telling us that we're heading in the right direction and he will continue to fight for working families.

Average middle class incomes are down $4,300.00 annually.

Health care cost are up $2500.00
25% compared to inflation, its ridiculous.

In case you haven't been paying attention lately, Seawyche...Corporate profit projections are down. They've done all the cost cutting that they can to weather this economy. The reason they WON'T hire is that they don't see the economy improving. This President hasn't been good for business and he continues not to be good for the millions of people who are currently out of work or are working a part time job because that's all they can find.

Consumer price index 2.2%.. Bullshit...... The economy is so bad people can't buy shit.
That accounts for less spending hence a low number.

Obama and the Dem's are destroying this country from the "inside out" That fucking Punk shoves it in your face every day with his choice words and you don't understand it.
His message: I'm going to Fuck You hard!

Not really. Speculators are making money on the market but the little guy is losing value in his home and losing their jobs because of fears of ever increasing taxes, costs of food and goods is skyrocketing. Gas prices are slowly going down but as soon as the election is over Obama is gonna jack em up again.....because he won't care who he harelips once he's re-elected.

Did you see how much everything went up last month? Count on it going up that much again between now and December.

Wait till you have to turn on your heat. That will cost you through the nose. And old people are going to discover their benefits have been slashed. They're on a fixed income and everything they counted on before won't fly anymore. They won't be able to make ends meet.

Calling Obama best for the economy is like saying he's best to cause reconstruction of the Benghazi Embassy

The stock market is not a lagging indicator.

I said this before- the market retraced, the banks were being bailed out, and there was numerous rounds of eaising. It had nothing to do with Obama.

Obama bailed out the banks and the auto industry. Stimulus put money into the economy when everyone else was pulling it out

Obama had a direct impact on the stock market. The market reversed immediately after Obama passed stimulus and TARP

Obama didn't bail out the banks, Bush did. The stimulas bailed out the states and extended unemployment. The stimulas had a minimal effect.

Mainly because he sunk billions into the market inflating it artificially.

Oh, and Obama didn't pass TARP, nor did he sign it, but he did spend half of it.

Right now the market is set to crash in a big way. It all depends on if Obama allows taxes to go up and defense spending to be slashed.

If Obama raises taxes the way he hopes to the 08' market crash will have a twin brother.
