Now do the Dems own the economy?

[Little-Acorn]

The whole time the Teabaggers were throwing

Why is it that, when the leftist fanatics are revealed as being at fault for a bunch of problems, they start talking about lewd sex acts and people's genitals?

They've been doing it a lot recently. It's a pretty serious obsessions with them.

Who Is The Smallest Government Spender Since Eisenhower? Would You Believe It's Barack Obama? - Forbes

The link is for whoever wrote that Obama is the biggest spender.

BUT, to the op -

Nothing much has changed. The Rs will go right on wasting money on such stupidity as "repeal/defund" ObamaCare and you can bet they will not suddenly start working to create jobs or improve the economy.

Its only a few months until the Rs' next manufactured disaster.

Praise Allah that Obama is Ebeneezer Scrooge on spending or he wouldn't have been able to keep his additions to the debt down to a mere $7 trillion

I said it before, but one of my favorite things about USMB is how it allowed Progressives to completed destroy their "Intellectual" creds.

FDR Stopped the New Deal in 1937!

Do you realize how big a lie that is?

 

[Dot Com]

even McConnell said, last night, that spending was at its lowest point in 50 yrs. Thank you Mr. President

 

[JakeStarkey]

Get the big government you love out of the way.

If you are arguing about statism, yes, but that won't happen.

You can't change how 75% of America feels about the government.

I can offer them a better alternative than subjugation.

Subjugation according to the Constitution: yup. And it will learn to do that or go home.

Debbie Wasserman Schultz said they did. Obama and Reid have full control of the economy. So the answer to "do the Dems own the economy?" is obvious.

No! They don't. They never will.

Their policies have given us the worst economy since the FDR Depression but it's Bush and Boehners fault, maybe Reagan's fault too.

Dems are against private ownership of anything even their own failed ideas

LOL. Silly ass, you are as stupid as ever. The whole time the Teabaggers were throwing their imitation of a two year old legislative tantrum the market was going down. As soon as they caved, the market immediatly made big gains. Now that is the kind of economy that I like owning.

We kick these dingdong malcontents out of office in Novemeber of 14, and have two years to get this nation back on track with investments in infrastructure, science, and the education of our citizens, you are going to see a renewed nation. One that once again is competing in all aspects for being number one, rather than being the competition for first place in political lunacy.

Lol! Now THAT THERE IS FUNNY!

And China has downgraded us.......how is that so good??

Well certainly Obama himself will never admit to being responsible for anything negative. He's great at pointing fingers, but refuses to accept responsibility.
Of course when a seal team takes a terrorist out, he'll trip over himself running to the nearest camera and microphone. But as far as the economy, nah, ain't his problem.

Responsible for what?

Responsible for saving the US economy from total collapse? Yeah..he's responsible for that.

For 3 months.

China has downgraded us, as soon as Obama signed it. They see what's going on, and they know we're going to be right back at this in 3 months. Nobody won anything this time, but just more time. What's good is people now will have more time to find out how great the ACA isn't.....Obama may have just shot himself in the foot!

more republican nonsense ... you said Debbie Wasserman Schultz said they did. Obama and Reid have full control of the economy ... that I question ... why you say??? we would have to have total control of the house and senate ... we don't ... until that happens, we aren't in control of the economy ... until the republicans are out of the mix ... they own it... they broke it

I'm sitting on the phone as we post here for ACA ... they have told me my health care bill will be 251.12 a month with a 250.00 deductible ... my previous plan was 550 a month with a 5000 dollar deductible .. a savings of 299. dollars a month and a ton of money in deductibles ... I would say his plan is doing fine so far

 

[regent]

thats not a depression! you know how low their standards are!

Unemployment was 22% when FDR took office, and by 1937 unemployment had dropped to 9%. At this point FDR was concerned the economy might turn inflationary and stopped the New Deal and unemployment rose to 12.5%. Unemployment again started declining and by FDR's death was about 1 to 2%.

He stopped the New Deal in 1937?

LOL

Yeah, you glossed over that whole WWII thingy, but whatever.

The WWII thingy was included with the I to 2 percent unemployment at the time of FDR's death. The New Deal was ended in 37 and we had a recession at that time, but we gradually pulled out of that and then in 39 Europe went to war and we started rearming. Difficult to put a whole historical era in one paragraph. The assumption is that some know their history.

Thank you for only adding $7 trillion to the debt...uh huh

Poll: Americans Still Blame Bush for Economic Problems

More than four years after he left office, George W. Bush is still seen as the cause of the nation's economic woes

By Danielle Kurtzleben - US NEWS & WORLD REPORT.

[READ: George W. Bush: Let History Judge Me]

According to a new poll from Gallup, Americans are far less likely to blame Obama for the nation's current economic problems than they are to blame former president George W. Bush, who left office over fouryears ago. More than two-thirds of Americans, 69 percent, said they blame Bush "a great deal" or "a moderate amount" for the nation's current economic problems. In contrast, just over half of Americans, 53 percent, say the same of Obama.

That a majority of Americans blamed either president means that there is some overlap: more than one-third of respondents, 34 percent, said they blame both. Still, Bush gets more blame among respondents who place the fault on only one president: 35 percent point to Bush alone as being responsible for the poor economy, while only 19 percent blame Obama alone. Only 11 percent say neither is to blame.

Was there a yes or no answer in there?

 

[Contumacious]

Now do the Dems own the economy?

They don't own it but as any gangster, they can destroy if they refuse the democrats "deals".

They are ******* parasites , individuals who hate working for a living . How can they own anything.

Republicans own it? They got absolutely nothing on their to do list while Obama got 100% of his.

More and more it seems posters are questioning historians because the historian's history differs from the posters. The historian cited is a Pulitzer Prize author. So what is your source that FDR's average unemployment was as you say?

The MSM keeps feeding back the meme that all this is Bush's fault. That people buy that is testament to their stupidity. T hat some people insist on repeating it as truth is testament to their mendacity.
