Economically, Could Obama Be America's Best President?

[Synthaholic]

Maxed out credit card?
And yet, Obama managed to add $6.1 trillion.
More than Bush added in 8 years. Great job!

You are either really stupid, or you are just playing stupid in order to troll.

Bush borrowed to pay for Medicare D. We still have Medicare D.

Bush borrowed to pay for the war against the Taliban and al Qaeda. We are still at war.

Bush borrowed to pay for the Iraq Quagmire. Obama ended that foreign policy disaster, and we are seeing savings from his action reducing the debt.

Bush borrowed to pay for tax cuts for the rich. They just ended, and that added revenue is decreasing the debt even faster.

In a report this week, the Congressional Budget Office said that the federal budget deficit in the last seven months of 2013 is $231 billion less than it was in the same period a year ago, mostly because the government is collecting far more tax revenue after the payroll tax cut and the Bush tax cuts for high income earners were allowed to expire.

For the month of April, the government actually ran a surplus of $112 billion. That's right, a surplus.

Smaller Deficit Could Push off Debt Fight - ABC News

Maybe you missed it, Obama was elected President, twice.
If he didn't like those things we're spending money on, he has some power to end them.
You probably whine when House Republicans vote to end Obamacare, but that's a sign they don't like it.
If Obama wanted to end Medicare D, he has a funny way of showing it.

The government usually runs a surplus in April.
Shit, if you doubled your IQ, you'd still be in the double digits.

Explain how he could end our Afghanistan engagement by the end of the week.

Explain how he could eliminate Medicare D by the end of the week.

He couldn't send legislation to Congress to repeal Medicare D?
He couldn't pull the troops out at a moments notice?

How did such a helpless guy get elected President twice?
Poor fella.

Republicans are in charge of legislation.

Do try to keep up.

Harry Reid was curbstoning legislation sent him by Republicans, and you know it. Saying Republicans are in charge of legislation shows you are giving Harry the assist he needs to commit this petty media fraud you are spreading like manure being redistributed upon the minds of young scholars at Columbia University.

The the umpteenth time: the Senate does not introduce spending bills. Only the House does that.

Just like only the Senate holds hearing for nomination to the Supreme Court. Both houses do not do that.

It's called 'separation of powers'.

That's not what you said. You said, "Republicans are in charge of legislation." Republicans have put bills on Harry Reid's in box. Harry Reid slips them away and never pulls them out again. Stop blaming Republicans for everything Harry Reid tables.

It was a lot easier when it was Booooooooooooooosh, wasn't it, Mr. Synthaholic.

Economically, Could Obama Be America's Best President? - Forbes

With the stock market hitting new highs, some people have already forgotten about the Great Recession.

Recall 2009. Things looked pretty bleak economically.

But the outlook has changed dramatically in just 4 years. And it has been a boon for investors, as even the safest indices have yielded a 250% return (>25% annualized compound return

In spite of the GObP/teepubs working against the United States, President Obama's work FOR the working class is showing very real progress.

IMPEACH every worthless, traitorous pub congress person who has obstructed and filibustered against jobs and progress. Bring them up on charges. And, VOTE THE REPUBLICAN BASTARDS OUT.

No. Just how many jobs bills have Democrats passed? Who had his budget proposal rejected unanimously by both houses? How many times has the Democratically controlled senate rejected Republican job propsals?

Some people will just not do any research, will they TK?

For most families, their home is their biggest investment, so when housing prices are rising they feel richer. And people tend to increase spending when they’re feeling rich. That boosts the economy generally.

But while this is, certainly, good news, the economy is not yet booming by any means. Unemployment remains stubbornly high. The Federal Reserve continues to keep interest rates very low and is still injecting $85 billion a month into the economy by buying federal bonds and mortgaged-backed securities. Only when the Fed begins the very tricky task of paring down its balance sheet and letting interest rates rise back to more normal levels will we be able to say the Great Recession is well and truly over.

Let's see what happens when the fed quits inflating the balloon.

 

[iamwhatiseem]

Already a thread on that article...and it was thoroughly debunked then.
Of course Wall Street is monumentally happy with Obama, beyond a shadow of a doubt he is one of the friendliest Wall Street Presidents in history.
No other President in history would have in their wildest dreams provided $85,000,000,000 of taxpayer money in bond/toxic asset buying PER MONTH INDEFINITELY.
In fact, if Wall Street was doing anything OTHER than having a roaring good time on our dime, one would have to wonder where in the hell did the over $1 trillion per year go??
So yes, if you are a large corporation, central bank employee or investor - times are indeed fantastic.
Obama is unarguably the most trickle-down economics President in the history of America...while at the same time making history in food stamp handouts, most disability payouts in history - and by faaar the most unemployment handed out in history/
Yes sir - Obama is a multi-tasker for sure!!!

pubs add to the debt while Obama gets it down to $800billion.

Jobs on the rise, economy growing and the idiot rw's lie about it. Gullible fools gladly chop off their own children's future if it would hurt that uppity nigra in the White House.

How did the right get this stupid?

Oh, and I saw where this was rebutted:

The debt is 16.7 trillion. W added 5 trillion and O has added 6 trillion.

I'm pretty sure the debt is more than $800 billion.

Dammit...you changed your avatar...I didn;t realize this was you.
So nevermind, there is only one person more foolish than the fool himself - the person who argues with him.

Yes. There is enough road/bridge/tunnel infrastructure needed to last 50 years.

you do know that is exactly what Japan thought too and it had no impact whatsoever on their two lost decades. They built bridges to nowhere and everywhere and back again. Can you tell us why it didn't work?

Do you know the difference between a real job and make-work job?? Please tell us?

Not new projects. Fix existing infrastructure.

notice how you could not answer the question and had to change the subject? Are you still a liberal now that you see you can't answer basic questions??

fixing existing infrastructure for 50 years or building new infrastructure
for 50 years is make-work. Apple, Google, Facebook, Oracle, HP, Intel, provide real sustainable work!! See the difference? If not ask questions and learn

Again, "Do you know the difference between a real job that helps the economy grow and a make-work job that does not?? Please tell us?

 

[Luddly Neddite]

Not only has he lowered the debt -

Lie all you want OR

PROVE what you say.

 

[EdwardBaiamonte]

Not only has he lowered the debt -

Actually, the debt is $16 trillion and growing. Barry refuses to even establish a debt ceiling, let alone lower the debt!! Don't mean to rock your world.

Besides, Krugman and all the leftist economists want to spend us out of this recession and repay the increased debt after the economy has recovered.

Any slowing of debt accumulation is 100% thanks to Republican pressure since as a matter of philosophy they are opposed to debt, while liberals since Hamilton support debt with one excuse after another.

Slow???

If only Obama passed more wasteful government spending, unemployment would be below 5%?

They only buy guaranteed bonds, no toxic assets there.

can you provide your best example of Republicans being against jobs or must you admit as a liberal you lack the IQ to do so??? You call them bastards so you must be very sure of yourself. I can't wait for your best example!

See why we say slow??
