Headed for a recession

[Dad2three]

And that's from the EIA, bitches.

Take a look at the line denoting "Support". These are ancillary, or "peripheral" jobs. Jobs that would not exist were it not for Drilling and Extraction.

Work creates more work.

You got that, Libsuckers?

Neo-Liberalism/Conservatives is/has destroyed the American Economy in favor of the so called "Job Creator"... In reality are "Job Exporters"...


The only reason the American economy is stalled is because the GOTP kicks the leg from under it, every time the economy begins to recover in the name of cutting the deficit


The problem with the conservative movement in America is that it is based on bigotry, hatred, and, greed. Above all, greed. Money is their god. They worship money and the holders of it and despise those who don't have it.

If you could take the time to get your foot out of your mouth, you might try re-reading my posts in this thread.

Yeah, your premise that the US can get out of Dubya/GOP's great recession with more gas/oil drilling and Keystone is absolute garbage...

Forget having a serious debate with that mental midget. You post figures and facts and get "George Bush lied us into war and crashed the economy!"
Not possible.

So Bush didn't crash the economy by ignoring regulator warnings, fighting all 50 states on predatory lending and allowing the Bankster to flood the market with cheap money with his SEC rule change in 2004?


The "turmoil in financial markets clearly was triggered by a dramatic weakening of underwriting standards for U.S. subprime mortgages, beginning in late 2004 and extending into 2007," the President's Working Group on Financial Markets OCT 2008

Yeah actually none of that is true.
You are a mental midget, unable to think beyond catch phrases and bumper stickers. Other posters will figure it out too.

ONLY in right wing world. In the real world, has almost zero to do with it.

It has everything to do with it. Obama is legislating laws with the stroke of his pen bypassing Congress and the Senate. Hell, the EPA these days is a job and business killer....because of the powers that your messiah has given it.

Wake up son before it's too late.

Got it, NOT based on ANY empirical evidence just the usual right wing 'belief in' garbage...

Perception is everything when a person or corporation is investing. Sorry you're so blinded that reality bites you on your ass.

The answer to that question has become a political flash point between the White House and big business groups such as the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, which held a jobs summit Wednesday and accused the Obama administration of dumping onerous regulations on businesses. That has created an environment of "uncertainty," which is causing firms to hold back on hiring as the unemployment rate has hovered near 10 percent, the Chamber said.

Q When did the Bush Mortgage Bubble start?

A The general timeframe is it started late 2004.

From Bush’s President’s Working Group on Financial Markets October 2008

“The Presidents Working Group’s March policy statement acknowledged that turmoil in financial markets clearly was triggered by a dramatic weakening of underwriting standards for U.S. subprime mortgages, beginning in late 2004 and extending into 2007.”



Right-wingers Want To Erase How George Bush's "Homeowner Society" Helped Cause The Economic Collapse

2004 Republican Convention:

Another priority for a new term is to build an ownership society, because ownership brings security and dignity and independence.
...

Thanks to our policies, home ownership in America is at an all- time high.

(APPLAUSE)

Tonight we set a new goal: 7 million more affordable homes in the next 10 years, so more American families will be able to open the door and say, "Welcome to my home."



One president controlled the regulators that not only let banks stop checking income but cheered them on. And as president Bush could enact the very policies that caused the Bush Mortgage Bubble and he did. And his party controlled congress.



June 17, 2004

(CNN/Money) - Home builders, realtors and others are preparing to fight a Bush administration plan that would require Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to increase financing of homes for low-income people, a home builder group said Thursday


Bush forced Freddie and Fannie to purchase more low income home loans, $440 billion in MBSs and then reversed the Clinton rule that actually reigned in Freddie and Fannie



"(In 2000, CLINTON) HUD restricted Freddie and Fannie, saying it would not credit them for loans they purchased that had abusively high costs or that were granted without regard to the borrower's ability to repay."

How HUD Mortgage Policy Fed The Crisis

"In 2004 (BUSH), the 2000 rules were dropped and high‐risk loans were again counted toward affordable housing goals."

Consequently, businesses remain pessimistic about demand for domestically produced goods in the U.S. market and are reluctant to invest. With the majority of U.S. businesses subject to higher personal, as opposed to corporate, tax rates; more onerous and costly regulations; and paying more for employee health insurance, they remain reluctant to hire workers and continue to rely on offshore jobs.

Manufacturing is gaining, and dividends are up. In fact, in 2009, U.S. manufacturing (including mining and utilities) was the strongest in the world, totaling $2.33 trillion — 14% more than second-ranked China. Yet companies appear to be reluctant to make new investments in the economy. Instead, corporations are hoarding cash, sitting on the sidelines trying to find their way forward.

Uncertainty about the growing regulatory burden is an important contributing factor to this uncertainty. The Obama administration has unleashed a massive new regulatory push, with costly new health care regulations, a major expansion by the Environmental Protection Agency that will raise the costs of energy, and a slew of yet unwritten financial services regulations mandated by the Dodd-Frank reform bill. It’s not surprising that businesses are hesitant to invest in such an uncertain and potentially costly future.

When asked why companies are holding back so much, many economists cite broader uncertainty that goes well beyond anything happening in Washington.

Rich People Create Jobs!


And five other myths that must die for our economy to live.


Myth #4: Regulatory uncertainty is clogging the economy.

Are American businesses paralyzed by fear of a tidal wave of new regulations? When McClatchy reporter Kevin Hall went out and asked small-business owners about this, he got a clear answer. "Absolutely, positively not," said one. "Government regulations are not choking our business," said another. In its most recent quarterly survey (PDF) of small-business trends, the National Federation of Independent Business reports that sales—i.e., lack of demand—is the No. 1 concern, beating out taxes, regulations, inflation, and everything else.

Rich People Create Jobs! | Mother Jones


Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for Economic Policy:

Is Regulatory Uncertainty a Major Impediment to Job Growth?: If regulation was a significant drag on business today, we would expect to see profits constrained after recent regulatory reforms were passed into law. However, corporate profits as a share of gross domestic income have about recovered their pre-recession peak, and earnings per share in industries most affected by recent regulatory changes, such as energy and health care, have among the highest earnings per share of those in the S&P 500. This growth is inconsistent with a corporate sector held back by regulation…. If regulatory uncertainty was the primary problem facing businesses, firms would prefer to use their existing capacity and current workers as much as possible, while avoiding building additional capacity until they are more certain about the contours of future regulation…. [T]hey would increase the hours of the workers they already employ rather than hiring additional workers. We have seen no evidence of this…. Low capacity utilization is inconsistent with concerns about future regulatory risk, but aligns with weak demand holding back current production….

Since the end of the first quarter of 2009, real investment in equipment and software has grown by 26 percent – about five times as fast as the economy as a whole….
