President Obama is the Problem?

[CessnaCJ4]

For nearly 30 years, the policy practice of deregulating industry has destabilized our economy and produced internal economic bubbles that provided extravagant boom/bust cycles with abnormally sharp peaks and increasingly less distribution of wealth throughout our social structure, such that the Haves' have increased wealth at a massively disproportionate rate over the have Nots'. Those are the facts which are not in dispute.

For nearly 30 years, Executive compensation and Golden Parachutes are up, employee salaries are down, the American Middle Class is being destroyed by the hour and American Middle Class Jobs have been packed-up and shipped off-shore. Those are facts which are not in dispute.

For nearly 30 years, the High School drop-out rates have increased, College tuition costs have increased, College graduation rates have decreased and four year technical degree completions have been cut by more than half, while business related degree completions have increased by more than 275% over the exact same period. These are facts which are not in dispute.

$50 Trillion in global wealth was wiped-out as a direct result of the 2008 global economic implosion. Consumer debt in the U.S. since 2000, has increased geometrically and consumer credit default rates have more than tripled in the same time. Since the invasion of Iraq, in 2003, global fuel prices have driven commodity prices higher and the cost at the pump as well as the grocery store check-out stand were the resultant children and the USD tumbled in value both internally and externally against most major currencies around the world. These are facts not in dispute.

Both, political policy and U.S. corporate practice have brought us to this point. The most deployed political policy over the past 30 years has been that free market reign -aka- Trickle Down Economics. A simple minded economic theory that says: hands off the free market - allow the free market to regulate itself, monitor itself, stabilize itself, and in doing so, the free market will make all the right decisions for the broader economy. Survival of the most fit. Trickle Down has miserably failed our Republic. These are facts not in dispute.

Presidential hopefuls as well as political adversaries, are making the claim that President Obama, is a "failed President," because the economy is not producing the 2.1 million jobs necessary to replace the 8+ million jobs lost under the previous Administration over the prior eight years before Obama's term in office. These are facts not in dispute.


So, here is my question:

If the political and economic policy that helped to cause the 2008 global meltdown, comes from the exact same source that lays failure at the doorstep of President Obama, how is it logically possible for the current set of Presidential hopefuls to have sufficient economic high-ground necessary to provide the policy solutions needed to solve the current economic crisis?

In other words, if you created the problem, when did you magically obtain the credibility, know-how, desire and the will necessary to provide the solution to the problem you created more than eight years ago?

Furthermore, if you created the problem more than eight years ago, what qualifies you to lay blame at the doorstep of those who have attempted to solve the problem that you created, and why should the American People trust you to solve the problem that you could not solve more than eight years ago?

You know - as I sit here over the past 3 years and listen to irrational, illogical, unsubstantiated, unproven and massively hypocritical attacks on President Obama, for not cleaning-up the mess left behind by his political adversaries fast enough, I'm reminded of reminded of the little African American Slave boy who gets whipped by his Slave Master for not cleaning up the spilled Whiskey fast enough, left behind by the "Master" himself.

President Obama, has had to play the role of Janitor In Chief, for the past 3 years - cleaning up a global toxic waste dumping zone left behind by those seeking Iraqi PSA Oil contracts and Derivatives profits from destructive financial bubbles that were engineered and arranged by the very same people who have since turned their back on the President and now label him as "failed."

If that is not the very definition of twisted, then I don't know what qualifies.

- Create the regulatory environment for the mess
- Create the rules for how the mess turns into a bubble
- Create the trigger for the fall of the mess
- Execute the mess
- Get reimbursed for the mess you created by tax payers
- Sit back and lay blame for not cleaning up the mess fast enough
- Run for President and proclaim that YOU have the fix for the mess

What a sales job. And, what's even more disgusting is the fact that millions of Americans will buy it.

How reprobate have we become as American Citizens?

[Firehorse]

Let's say that Obama was to clean up the mess. Just what has he taken steps toward cleaning? Let's keep with the cleaning theme, if a gallon of milk is spilled on the floor, there is a process to go through to clean it up. The first thing you do is stop any more milk from leaking out by setting the gallon jug upright. It seems this presedent, as a first step of cleaning is to turn the gallon jug completely over dumping even more milk out

There comes a point when you start to realize that the one that is supposed to clean up is not. If you want to hang a 'atta boy' sign on someone, do it to Clinton, at least during his term there was a balanced budget (he at least righted the gallon of milk)

It seems as though your interested in casting blame... Which doesn't actually clean up anything. I'm not into blaming, I'm into the job of getting someone in the whitehouse that will clean. This current prez isn't cleaning, he is making a bigger mess and needs to be shown the door

We can start with the fact that there has not been massive deregulation over the last 30 years. There was a burst of deregulation in the late 70s-early 80s and then Gramm Leach under Clinton. Other than that there has been no deregulation.
Red Tape Rising Regulatory Trends in the Bush Years
Further, there were certainly boom and bust cycles during and before that time. We had a severe recession in 1973-74 as well as 1982-3.

Your other points are equally misinformed and stupid.
You wont last long here.

How reprobate have we become as American Citizens?

Wow, how stupid are you?

No one is as stupid as you. You're such a morbidly fucking retard. I feel sad for you. Being the worst in every class as a child. And now the worst on every message board as a brain dead adult. Pitiful. Just Pitiful.

You should not post when you are yelling at yourself.

 

[CessnaCJ4]

Wow, how stupid are you?

Stupid is as stupid does, so they tell me.

If the only rebuttal that you can produce is: "Wow, how stupid are you?" - then I would suggest that you've already lost the debate.

Better yet, why not try answering the question:

What have Republicans done since 2000, when they controlled the White House, the Senate and the House, to demonstrate to the American People that they are qualified to claim moral high ground on domestic policy with respect to Economics?

It is a simple and straight forward question that exposes the hypocrisy in this country and no matter where I go, or to whom I put the question, I never get a straight answer. And, do you want to know why? Because, answering the question straight forwardly would automatically disqualify 100% of the Republican Presidential Candidates to date.

That's why I never get a straight answer to the above question.

How stupid am I? How stupid is failing to answer the question, head on?

For nearly 30 years, the policy practice of deregulating industry has destabilized our economy and produced internal economic bubbles that provided extravagant boom/bust cycles with abnormally sharp peaks and increasingly less distribution of wealth throughout our social structure, such that the Haves' have increased wealth at a massively disproportionate rate over the have Nots'. Those are the facts which are not in dispute.

For nearly 30 years, Executive compensation and Golden Parachutes are up, employee salaries are down, the American Middle Class is being destroyed by the hour and American Middle Class Jobs have been packed-up and shipped off-shore. Those are facts which are not in dispute.

For nearly 30 years, the High School drop-out rates have increased, College tuition costs have increased, College graduation rates have decreased and four year technical degree completions have been cut by more than half, while business related degree completions have increased by more than 275% over the exact same period. These are facts which are not in dispute.

$50 Trillion in global wealth was wiped-out as a direct result of the 2008 global economic implosion. Consumer debt in the U.S. since 2000, has increased geometrically and consumer credit default rates have more than tripled in the same time. Since the invasion of Iraq, in 2003, global fuel prices have driven commodity prices higher and the cost at the pump as well as the grocery store check-out stand were the resultant children and the USD tumbled in value both internally and externally against most major currencies around the world. These are facts not in dispute.

Both, political policy and U.S. corporate practice have brought us to this point. The most deployed political policy over the past 30 years has been that free market reign -aka- Trickle Down Economics. A simple minded economic theory that says: hands off the free market - allow the free market to regulate itself, monitor itself, stabilize itself, and in doing so, the free market will make all the right decisions for the broader economy. Survival of the most fit. Trickle Down has miserably failed our Republic. These are facts not in dispute.

Presidential hopefuls as well as political adversaries, are making the claim that President Obama, is a "failed President," because the economy is not producing the 2.1 million jobs necessary to replace the 8+ million jobs lost under the previous Administration over the prior eight years before Obama's term in office. These are facts not in dispute.


So, here is my question:

If the political and economic policy that helped to cause the 2008 global meltdown, comes from the exact same source that lays failure at the doorstep of President Obama, how is it logically possible for the current set of Presidential hopefuls to have sufficient economic high-ground necessary to provide the policy solutions needed to solve the current economic crisis?

In other words, if you created the problem, when did you magically obtain the credibility, know-how, desire and the will necessary to provide the solution to the problem you created more than eight years ago?

Furthermore, if you created the problem more than eight years ago, what qualifies you to lay blame at the doorstep of those who have attempted to solve the problem that you created, and why should the American People trust you to solve the problem that you could not solve more than eight years ago?

You know - as I sit here over the past 3 years and listen to irrational, illogical, unsubstantiated, unproven and massively hypocritical attacks on President Obama, for not cleaning-up the mess left behind by his political adversaries fast enough, I'm reminded of reminded of the little African American Slave boy who gets whipped by his Slave Master for not cleaning up the spilled Whiskey fast enough, left behind by the "Master" himself.

President Obama, has had to play the role of Janitor In Chief, for the past 3 years - cleaning up a global toxic waste dumping zone left behind by those seeking Iraqi PSA Oil contracts and Derivatives profits from destructive financial bubbles that were engineered and arranged by the very same people who have since turned their back on the President and now label him as "failed."

If that is not the very definition of twisted, then I don't know what qualifies.

- Create the regulatory environment for the mess
- Create the rules for how the mess turns into a bubble
- Create the trigger for the fall of the mess
- Execute the mess
- Get reimbursed for the mess you created by tax payers
- Sit back and lay blame for not cleaning up the mess fast enough
- Run for President and proclaim that YOU have the fix for the mess

What a sales job. And, what's even more disgusting is the fact that millions of Americans will buy it.

Can't tell you how shallow and inadequate this is -- considering it's the 97th thread this month repeating the same talking points. MOST of which ARE in dispute -- contrary to the childish assertion that they are not. To begin with consumer debt has DRAMATICALLY decreased since the 2008 implosion. People realized that THEY are severly overleveraged.

Which leads to all those "wealth gap" numbers. Not really descriptive of standard of living at all.. Manipulated and processed beyond use (kinda like Nutella). For instance, most of my Cali buds had 80% of their "wealth" in their homes. And they USED that wealth like a checking account. Need a new Mercedes? Refi -- the house.. Want to add a 2nd story to that overvalued piece of Cali crap housing? Refi -- the house.. Need to send the kids to Stanford? Refi -- the house. IN FACT -- You could live in $800K home, have 2 luxury cars in the driveway, and a kid at Stanford and YET --- your "net worth" for those famous leftist polls could easily be under $100K.

Simplistic, repetitive and shallow.. You want to contribute to solutions on a message board? Try being a little more thorough and a lot more humble...

 

[CessnaCJ4]

Janitor-in-chief? Really Gracie? He's continued many policies he said he'd stop and add to the mess himself.

Really? Name one of the many policies that President Obama, said he would stop, if you would be so kind. Thank you.

The one thing you will not get away with here, is making generalized statements about failure, without providing proof of failure. There's been a whole lot of that going on in this country with respect to this African American President, but I won't tolerate inside any thread where I'm the OP.

So, let's get to Policy Making - shall we. Let's get down to where the rubber meets the road, instead of the Fox News-Rush Limbaugh-Tea Party talking points.

What a concept! You are actually going to have to talk Policy in this thread. LOL, now that's progress you can believe in on this forum.

Brought the UE rate from a recession high of 6.5% to a low of 4.5%. U.S. credit was never downgraded. Workforce participation was not an all time low. Created large number of jobs. Did not experience recession from end of 2001 to end of 2008. Dow at its highest point ever Oct 2007.
Remind me what Democrats have done?

...Let's keep with the cleaning theme, if a gallon of milk is spilled on the floor, there is a process to go through to clean it up. The first thing you do is stop any more milk from leaking out by setting the gallon jug upright. It seems this presedent, as a first step of cleaning is to turn the gallon jug completely over dumping even more milk out...

Exactly, how did President Obama, spill more milk on the floor?

These are very simply questions folks. If President Obama, has done what no other President should or would have done, then why all the over-generalizations? Answering the question should be easy. Describe in detail what the President did to spill more milk on the floor, please.

Your cooperation here, is greatly appreciated.

There comes a point when you start to realize that the one that is supposed to clean up is not. If you want to hang a 'atta boy' sign on someone, do it to Clinton, at least during his term there was a balanced budget (he at least righted the gallon of milk)...

Again, please provide a specific example of how President Obama, did not clean-up the milk the floor - sticking with your analogy?

It seems as though your interested in casting blame... Which doesn't actually clean up anything.

Well, thank you for allowing me to correct the misunderstanding.

Mine is not to cast blame. However, I do find it rather double-hypocritical that those who would say that Obama, is not the causality of our current economic problems, nor did Obama, make those economic problems worse (not be a long shot is that true), get labeled as people who are now laying blame! That makes no sense.

It is "OK" for other to lay false blame on the doorstep of President Obama, but it is not "OK" to point out why such claims are false and/or who truly deserves the blame for our current economic mess. I find that way of thinking rather bizarre and unexplainable irrational.

I'm not into blaming, I'm into the job of getting someone in the whitehouse that will clean. This current prez isn't cleaning, he is making a bigger mess and needs to be shown the door

Yet, you have not even remotely come close to demonstrating why and/or how this President has made things worse. All you have done, is what Republicans have been doing since the 97th day of the President's term in office: Declare anything the President does as having failed. That has been the Republican playbook from the very start and every single Independent on the planet already knows it.

So, again - please delineate where the President exacerbated the current economic problem?

Sorry bout dat.

 

[CessnaCJ4]

We can start with the fact that there has not been massive deregulation over the last 30 years.

When I say massive, I'm talking about the effects of deregulation - I could have stated the matter more clearly. I'm also (clearly) talking about Financial Deregulation. I mark time with Ronald Reagan, because he presided over the Savings & Loan bailouts and it was Reagan, who supported the Garn-St Germain Depository Institutions Act, which he claimed would solve the problems of the Savings & Loans. Here are Reagan's own words on the Act:

"This bill is the most important legislation for financial institutions in the last 50 years. It provides a long-term solution for troubled thrift institutions... All in all, I think we hit the jackpot."

It turns out that Ronald Reagan, was wrong about that - as we all now fully understand. Yet, when it was happening, there were zero Republicans talking to the streets as Tea Party Members, proclaiming that Ronald Reagan, was a failed President.

This is why I say the double standard hypocrisy is staggering, as pointed towards President Obama.

Further, there were certainly boom and bust cycles during and before that time. We had a severe recession in 1973-74 as well as 1982-3.

We've never had anything ever remotely resembling 2008, less 1929/32. So, I'm not 100% sure about the point being made there.

Your other points are equally misinformed and stupid.
You wont last long here.

Other points which you found so stupid, as to not rebut them. If that's the typical run and hide tactic that resides on this forum, then you are 100% correct, I won't last long here, because there won't be anyone left to debate the real issues.

I'll put the question to you again: Name the things that Obama did to inflame the Bush Administration economic implosion of 2008? Those are the issues on the table. Blaming President Obama, for not solving a problem that has no Executive Branch solution, is the very definition of foolish.

And, failing to rebut on the merits, while calling the declarations stupid, is a deliberate act of cowardice.
