You made money...I made money...but for a whole lot of people who were out of jobs while the "slow recovery" you seemed to like so much was going on they had to burn through their life's savings. You Democrats hung them out to dry, White! It's why Trump won in places like Michigan.
BS. I suffered and lost significantly first 6 months of Bush's market crash. Many people Democrat and Republican at many different economic strata were over extended. It looked like a house of cards. I planned for what I really needed, and was at the point in life where it worked out for me. Nobody learned much. Looking kind of like a house of cards now.
The economy always corrects. If you've been around long enough you know that. That doesn't change the fact that the Obama Administration was TERRIBLE at creating jobs, White! They were too busy working on their progressive agenda to worry about the millions of Americans that were out of work in the Private Sector! Those people remembered the way you on the left treated them when you had the power.
I don't think that is correct, and I wasn't and aren't in the ruling strata. I just planned well for 40 years. They are just of the reality show masses and bought into the snake oil.
You think the Obama Administration was good at creating jobs? Really? Come on, White...if that were true then they wouldn't have had to hit us with all that "Jobs Created or Saved" bullshit!
Job creation was slow and many had to move where the jobs went or were being created. Never seen a crash like that before. He did what was necessary, arranging to secure the big boy and restart, at great political cost. Job creation picked up in 2nd term. He used Keynesian economics to buy us out of the mess created by deregulation and supply side economics. Now we are back into supply side, but without the free markets, picking the winners, losers enemies and friends. Pick a fight, payoff the biggest moneyed losers and continue re-consolidation upward of the smaller players as they absorbed by the bigger players and gamble our way back up to new unsupported market heights. Lower and lower-middle not much better off. We used to talk about the to 5% then the top 3%, now it's the top 1% as the current economics theory and operation send it up to the top. If this economy is so great, why aren't we balancing the budget and stopping this damned deficit spending? How far can the Fed keep floating this boat or bubble? I don't know the answer. I made A's on my econ semesters 30 something years ago, when supply side was being called voodoo economics. Thank God, also made A's in managerial finance and listened to my conservative parents and grandparents who lived through the depression, that's why I am in decent shape for my future.
