Weird, the US under PROGRESSIVE policies created the worlds largest middle class. Of course under GOP's assault the past 30+ years it's shrunk by 10%.

How much has the Middle Class shrunk under the leadership of Barack Obama, Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi?

But that's Bushs faut!

Come on Bubba, we ALL know Dubya, in conservatives minds, policy and decisions made Jan 20th 2001 Jan 20th 2009 ended the moment Obama was sworn in. It stopped on a dime. All those bad choices (UNFUNDED wars, UNFUNDED tax cuts, UNFUNDED Medicare expansion, IGNORING REGULATOR WARNINGS AND CHEERING ON THE BANKSTER PONZI SCHEME, ETC), stopped the day he left office

Anyone with an unbiased perspective and a little historical knowledge would know that recessions are ALWAYS followed by recoveries. The fact that we DID lose 4 million jobs in 2009 should have had us expecting those numbers to rebound strongly coming out of the recession. Instead we had what is referred to as a "jobless recovery". The reason for that jobless recovery is first and foremost a lack of a viable plan to create sustainable jobs by this Administration. Instead of concentrating on legislation that would have put Americans back to work...Barack Obama went for the ACA...legislation that dampened the creation of jobs. His almost two trillion dollar stimulus was so badly implemented that his economic people were forced to come up with a new economic statistic to hide how few jobs they actually created...thus the "jobs created or saved" statistic that was born.

 

[LogikAndReazon]

"Unfunded" tax cuts ?

What a f---ing imbecile

 

[zeke]

The fact that we DID lose 4 million jobs in 2009 should have had us expecting those numbers to rebound strongly coming out of the recession.

LMAO. Sure dude. SO what else was lost during that same time frame the 4 million jobs were lost. Lets see.
People lost their homes. Yep, you may have heard something about all those foreclosures. But then again, maybe not.

What else. Well people who lost their jobs took out their retirement savings to live on. That is if they hadn't lost every bit of money they had bailing out of the markets when they collapsed. Did you read anything about the stock market collapse when Bush was still Pres? The outflow of money from the 401k and IRA's.

Of course all those home owners that didn't lose their homes, lost all the equity in their homes. Maybe you heard something about that? And many are still underwater on their mortgages. Yep, being under water on your mortgage sure makes you want to spend money.

When those that lost their jobs finally found work, the new job pays less than the old one. Yep that's a problem (lower earnings) when you want an economic recovery.

So people lost income, lost value in hard assets, lost money in semi liquid assets and you think that we should have rebounded much more strongly. And that somehow, all the money and equity and jobs that people lost is Obama's fault.

That's kinda strange thinking. How did Obama cause all that loss?

Actually, Zeke, if you put the beer down and read you would know that generallystronger recessions produce stronger recoveries. This is part of the business cycle, something a bar tender may have mentioned to you once.
Obama destroyed the business cycle with his unconstititional actions in bankruptcy and his absurd worthless programs.

 

[zeke]

Actually, Zeke, if you put the beer down and read you would know that generallystronger recessions produce stronger recoveries. This is part of the business cycle, something a bar tender may have mentioned to you once.

Tell you what their rabbit. But first. Did you get someone to explain your TIL to you yet? I ain't doing it dude.

How long did it take for a full recovery after the Great Depression?

Seeing as how our Great Recession was compared to the Great Depression, even to the point where people wondered if the Great Recession could become worse than the Great Depression, and considering the amount of jobs, income and assets that were lost, I don't think this recovery is going so slow at all. In case you missed it, a lot of the jobs that were lost went out of country. And they ain't coming back. Again, the replacement jobs have not paid as much as the jobs lost. That's a problem for a recovery. It isn't like people were laid off a 25 dollar an hour job and then called back to work. Their jobs were gone. The new jobs pay half as much, for example.

So I have read that the Great Depression wasn't fully recovered from until the start of WWII. It took a considerable amount of time to recover and that was with the government creating jobs along the way, so why wouldn't it take close to the same time frame again to fully recover?

 

[zeke]

if you put the beer down and read you would know that generallystronger recessions produce stronger recoveries.

And if you had any common sense you would admit that our previous recessions did not come with the same amount of permanent job loss. When the jobs are gone, you can't call the workers back to work. And without jobs it's kinda hard to have a recovery. Weak or strong.

 

[Spare_change]

You really don't understand how businesses are run, do you? Walmart operates on a 3% profit margin; minuscule in American business, yet it's their fault people are poor.

If you dropped out of high school when you got knocked up or arrested for selling dope and have learned no marketable skills, you are worth very little in the labor market. Just about anyone can put boxes on a shelf or move items past a scanner and count out change that a cash register computes for you. Your wage is figured, not on your skills and marketability in the labor force, but on how long it will take to train your replacement.
Walmart keeps labor costs low in order to keep the price of that 60" Vizio at $898 so you unskilled, unmotivated morons can afford one.
Let's say Target decided to pay a minimum of $15/hour to all employees. Where would you buy your flat screen? There, for $1,400 or at Walmart for $900?
Walmart is successful because there is a glut of cheap labor. They did not make their employees only qualified for minimum wage jobs.

Weird, PRE Reaganomics ('free trade', Corp WELFARE expansion, LARGE tax breaks for 'job creators AS they sucked out nearly 300% of the pie than they had held historically, war on unions, etc) did the US wages of the bottom 90% stagnate or fall? Or did it grow? Were there high school drop outs then?


Third World countries. One of the things they all had in common was a small, very rich elite, small middle class, and a large lower class. They also shared very low economic growth as a result. This has been known for at least 50 years. The US has been going in this direction for at least the last 30 years as we have gradually de-industrialized and government policies (such as trickle down economics) have promoted the shift of wealth from the lower and middle classes to the economic elite


In 1980 the top 1% earned 8.5% of total income. In 2007 they earned 23%.

In 1980 the bottom 90% earned 68% of total income. In 2007 they earned 53%.
