Judging Obama's Handling of the Budget and the Economy Fairly

[AntonToo]

I credit Obama with killing the recovery via his bullshit regulations and policies. The recovery took much longer than it should have.

How long should Great Recession, with 8 Trillion dollar economic damage with a global scale, take to recover form???

You don't have the first clue is the correct answer.

United States came out of the recession considerably faster compared to Europe and Asia.

U.S. Economic Recovery Looks Good Compared With Sluggish Europe, Asia

How about compared to America?

Obama Wins The Gold For Worst Economic Recovery Ever

Yea why not directly compare to different recessions with different causes and remedies?

After all, inflation problems, .COM bust and Real Estate/Finance collapse are really all the same.

That has nothing to do with it. Face facts. DumBama was the most anti-business President of our lifetime. He never did anything positive for business other than to continue some of Bush's policies. But business was responsible for what recovery we had--not Obama. If Obama actually did positive things for business, his recovery legacy would be unsurpassed.

Yep, you heard it here first - expansionary policies like tax-cuts, spending, low interest rates and financial sector stibalization doesn't help bussiness.

For one, DumBama is not in charge of interest rates. Interest rates didn't increase until his second term because things were so unstable. Tax cuts? On businesses? When? The last time DumBama addressed taxes, he raised it on businesses. Spending? You mean the spending that the Republican Congress created?

Thats interesting because the entire ******* campaign The Donald was running around saying exactly the opposite:

Donald Trump: Obama keeping down interest rates; Fed ‘obviously not independent’

Reality is monetary policy happens without direct orders, but certainly with presidential blessing. If Obama wanted high interest rates he had the levers to make that happen.

Stimulus has poured ~870 billion dollars of liquidity into a stalled economy - in what freaking world does that NOT help bussiness?

Obama also extended almost all of Bush's tax-cuts that were to expire in 2012. Again how can it possibly not help?

What you say is easily shown to be COUNTERFACTUAL bs.

Psst do you know what debt is? The sum of annual deficits.

2009 budget submitted by Bush in 2008 had 1.3 Trillion dollar deficit...how exactly did Obama cause that???

Obama spend 870 Billion on Stimulus and he made permanent almost all bush tax cuts. Everything else is right about wash with sequestrations.

“Debt increased under” is a fool’s metric of fiscal performance. You have to look at the policy.

2009 budget submitted by Bush in 2008 had 1.3 Trillion dollar deficit...how exactly did Obama cause that???

How much of the 2009 budget did Obama sign?
I'll give you a hint, it was a percentage larger than zero.
Also, how much of FY2009 spending was Obama's "stimulus"?
How much of FY2009 spending was TARP loans approved by Bush
and then repaid from 2009-2012?

Idiot, just because he signed it doesn't mean he CAUSED the deficit.

Revenues were not going to increase because Obama didn't sign the budget.

Obama caused about 150 billion that was Stimulus bill spending in 2009 - that was his policy contribution to the deficit in that year. The rest is spin.

What a terrible memory you have Anton. I said outside of extending Bush's policies..........

One giving their blessings does not make him or her the decider of the action. Once again, giving credit where credit isn't due.

870 billion right down the drain. It mostly went to the minute tax cuts he gave in SS that people barely noticed, and to his union friends in various government entities.



Now the only thing that "happened" for businesses during his tenure was pumping phony money into the stock market called quantitive easing. That did help businesses and individuals alike. But I can't really credit DumBama for that. It was the Federal Reserves who took that action. It made more millionaires than ever.

The problem with Obama is he wanted to run everything and went in over his head. He wanted to orchestrate the auto industry, the banking industry, the food industry, the lending industry, the healthcare industry. In the end, he made things worse for those industries than better. You can't pass a law that a health insurance company MUST use 85% of their premium collections to pay healthcare claims. It doesn't work that way. Insurance agencies use premium money to invest. The profits made are what helps pay the claims. DumBama F'd that all up.

Now you go on whining about how it's all so unfair.

 

[toobfreak]

If one is to credit any politician, one must point to actions taken to achieve such results. I didn't see that under DumBama.

For most of it, he happened to be at the right place at the right time. Spending? That's a congressional issue more than a presidential one. Economy? That had to do with the fed reserve pumping fake money into the market. I don't know if I can credit Obama with that one. And if the economy was doing so great, why did the interest rate remain 0% or near 0% throughout most of his two terms? That didn't start going up until after the lowering price of fuel which again, DumBama had nothing to do with. Lower cost fuel was the result of our success in Fracking which Obama and the Democrats have always hated. Everybody in America got a raise because of it. More money in our pockets means more spending.

Yes, I am a bias blogger, but I'll give anybody credit when credit is deserved. Somebody show me direct actions that caused direct results under DumBama. For instance now the left is claiming our economical success is because of Obama. What? It's a year and a half later. I can point to actions taken by Trump and the Republicans to give them credit today. Lowering taxes, rescinding regulations on businesses, getting rid of Commie Care are just a few things that encouraged growth in corporations and industry.

I can't go along with much of this. Obama imposed a net cut in federal spending in 2010, before sequestration was even discussed. He increased the debt by 33% less than Bush did.

Oh, I don't think so. Bush had a crisis on his hands in the form of 9/11 that (forgive the pun) literally fell out of the sky onto his lap before his chair was even warm, and the ensuing wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. What most attribute to Bush spending was actually the democratically-controlled congress of 2006. It was the 9/11 attacks that set forth the massive spending increases from Bush on and Obama took spending to a whole new level with QE1 and 2 and with little to show for it other than massive debt increases.

It didn't do crap for the economy, did it? You people on the left try to give DumBama credit for something he never did. You can't point to one direct acton and result that (no doubt) led to a better economy. But even if you could, I could point to five negative things he did.

Psst do you know what debt is? The sum of annual deficits.

2009 budget submitted by Bush in 2008 had 1.3 Trillion dollar deficit...how exactly did Obama cause that???

He didn't. But you idiots keep saying W was responsible for 2001 which was Clinton's budget, W was responsible for the entire eight year Obama term and then Trump became responsible the day he took office so Obama wasn't ever responsible for anything

Bullshit.

Bush blew up the budget with tax-cuts, unpaid-for wars and Medicaid part B.

That’s without blaming him for Great Recession.

So medicare part D that was signed in 2003 and tax cuts in June, 2001 caused a recession that started in March, 2001. Got it.

Well, you're clear what you are

wtf are you smoking? Where did I blame Bush for 2001 recession?

Niether Bush nor Clinton caused Corporate scandals and .COM bust. DUH

See, that's why leftists are so disappointing. You suddenly get that W was responsible for 2009. He was. You're right.

But then Clinton is responsible for nothing in 2001, Obama is responsible for nothing in 2017. You're just pathetic hypocrites. Democrats are responsible for nothing ever. You're mindless partisan shills.

And to be clear, I am not. YES, W was responsible for 2009. He was. It was his budget

Psst do you know what debt is? The sum of annual deficits.

2009 budget submitted by Bush in 2008 had 1.3 Trillion dollar deficit...how exactly did Obama cause that???

This myth has been debunked hundreds of times on this board. The Dem-controlled Congress jacked up spending for the final fiscal year. Bush threatened to veto it, so the Dems held most off on most of it until Obama could sign it, which he did almost as soon as he took office. Go look at whose signature is on most of that spending.

Lol you don’t know wtf you are talking about.

Half of 2009 deficit was not due to spending it was due to reciepts that fell through the floor as economy was in recession.

The other half was stiff like unemployment benefits increases from people getting laid off en-mass and TARP, a BUSH administration bill.

The [color= red]second[/color] TARP bill was Obama, not W.

And just to be clear, you blame Clinton, not W for the 2001 recession, that's what you're saying

TARP was Bush's bill.

Is this too tough to look up? Or are you too helpless to do that??

The Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) is a program of the United States government to purchase toxic assets and equity from financial institutions to strengthen its financial sector that was signed into law by President George W. Bush on October 3, 2008.

Troubled Asset Relief Program - Wikipedia

Try reading it again, government school educated reading failure. I crayon colored it in to help you. Sound it out and see if you can get there. Your lips are moving. That's OK if it helps though. Tarp II was an add on to the budget. That $100 billion was on Obama. That still leaves W with $1.2 trillion

 

[edthecynic]

What most attribute to Bush spending was actually the democratically-controlled congress of 2006.

There was no Democratically controlled Congress of 2006.

Wrong. Democrats took both houses in the 2006 elections. Then they spent money like it was going out of style.

I blame W for sure for deficit spending too. He vetoed none of it. It's both parties. W, Obama, tom-ay-to, tom-ah-to

Then I am correct. If the Dems won both houses the November 2006 elections then they did not control Congress in 2006.
Not only did Bush not veto any additional spending in 2007 and 2008, he demanded and got more tax cuts, so he wasn't a impotent as you liars claim.
