Republicans have a poor understanding of economics. They should have no place in making policy

[Paperman299]

So essentially, when the economy does well under a Democratic president, that was an event outside of his control. But when the economy does poorly under a Democratic president, that was a direct result of his policies. Got it, thanks.

dear, the general rule is that a libcommie can only harm an economy. If you believe otherwise please name a Democrat policy that can help rather than hurt an economy.

Isn't thinking fun?

Thank you for spelling out the cognitive dissonance in your thought process that's become so apparent from your contradictory posts.

And we're well past a general consensus among top economists, for instance, that Obama's stimulus package cushioned the economy from a much worse downturn. In fact, with the benefit of hindsight, the biggest problem with his stimulus package is it should have been bigger - something Republicans vigorously fought, thanks to their misguided economic ideology.

Your turn. If 'libcommies' can only harm the economy, explain that graphic you've been careful ignoring.

FACTS on Dubya s great recession

dumbto3 loves that a liberal was in office when the recession occured??

See why we are positive that liberalism is based in pure ignorance.

Anyone else notice how often far-right conservatives on the board employ catchphrases?

Well, Edward is in a class by himself but yeah, in general if it won't fit on a bumpersticker, it won't fit in a right wingers brain.

The drop in gas prices is putting a massive amount of money in the pockets of Americans to be spent on other things. Rest assured that Barry will lay claim to any economic benefits from that as well even though low gas prices go completely counter to what he wanted. Anyone want to wager how long it's going to be before a liberal calls for a big bump in the gas tax?

You mean TECHNOLOGY created the boom? And the GOP wants to defund education and research? lol


Let's just follow Dubya/GOP lead of pushing people to 'shop' and give tax credits of $5,000+ to buy gas sucking SUV's, that will help US right? lol

Kindly explain why oil and natural gas production on Federally controlled lands is actually down under the Obama Administration when overall production of oil and natural gas is up substantially on lands controlled privately or by the States?

So who's REALLY responsible for all those new jobs created in the oil and natural gas industries? It certainly isn't Barack Obama! Quite obviously if he had control of all the oil and gas producing land in the US the price of gasoline would be $6 a gallon right now.

A big part of the trend can be attributed to the location of shale deposits where hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, and horizontal drilling have allowed producers to tap huge oil or natural gas resources.

Much of it is in Pennsylvania, where gas production has taken off. And it's common in Texas and North Dakota, states where the federal government owns far less land than it does in several Western energy-producing states.

“There are only so many dollars out there,” said Sarah Ladislaw, an energy expert with the Center for Strategic and International Studies, noting the heavy industry investment in shale exploration outside of federal lands.

“When you overlay those two maps, the places to be weren’t necessarily on federal land,” said Ladislaw, co-director of the think tank’s Energy and National Security Program.

Obama GOP battle over credit for surging oil and gas production TheHill


BUT HEY, THE DEFICITS OBAMA INHERITED THANKS TO DUBYA/GOP POLICY (CREDIT CARDS MAXED OUT, GUTTING federal revenues 25% of GDP), WELL HELL, THOSE REST ON OBAMA'S SHOULDERS ALONE RIGHT? lol

So now you're going to claim that it was just "chance" that production increased on lands not controlled by the Federal Government and that the Obama Administration's reluctance to issue drilling permits had nothing to do with it?

I can't make up my mind whether you're the most naive and uniformed person I've ever run across or whether you simply have no problem with distorting facts.

Are you suggesting that there is another Eagle Ford Shale or Bakken formation on Federal lands that oil companies just aren't bothering to tap? That's literally leaving money in the ground. Oil companies have more than enough permits already to make use of Federal lands, but they're not going to bother while horizontal drilling has already opened up two separate oil booms.

dear, if you see anything mistaken with Aristotelian, Jeffersonian right wing thinking about freedom from govt please point out the mistake or admit you, as a typical illiterate liberal, lack the IQ to defend what you say.

 

[EdwardBaiamonte]

dear, please explain how a liberal stimulus, like the New Deal, could help rather than harm an economy or admit to having the IQ of a typical liberal..

 

[EdwardBaiamonte]

Duhbya took credit for it, even though you try to defend him.

too stupid and typically liberal!! Do you think Bush is the first guy in the world to try to take undeserved credit for something!!!OMG!!!

Hmmm .... whom to believe ... ?

The man boasting about how his political party's policies had driven up home ownership? Or a deranged Liberal in an chat room in cyberspace.

.... tough choice.

too stupid and typically liberal!! Do you think Bush is the first guy in the world to try to take undeserved credit for something!!!OMG!!!

So for the FOURTH time, 100% of the Repugs who supported Dubya's ADDI (40,000 a year free down payments), weren't conservatives?? lol

dear, conservatives are for lower taxes and lower spending;liberals are for opposite.

See why we are 100% positive that liberalism is based in pure ignorance?? What other conslusion is possible?

Americans should keep 10% of their incomes ....

Free pre school, public school, community college, housing, food stamps, commie care, municipal jobs, retirement/ss, infrastructure , and global warming.

Dear, Republicans since Jefferson have introduced and voted for 30 BBA's since Jefferson's first. Democrats have killed every one of them. Case closed!

Oh there you go again. The terrible awful Democrats. And you poor pitiful Republicans just can't stand up to those terrible awful Democrats.

But seeing as how those awful terrible bully Democrats are always pushing you poor pitiful Republicans around and you all just can't get a single one of your great ideas through. With all that being the case, why would anyone vote for a Republican? You all are worthless when it comes to standing up to Democrats. We need another party. One with some balls and fortitude. Not the pussies you Republicans are.

I mean just think about it. You Republicans are always getting your asses kicked by the likes of a party with Charlie Rangel, Barney Frank and Nancy Pelosi. LMAO. You all should be ashamed.

 

[EdwardBaiamonte]

dear it does not have to do with standing up to Democrats, it has to do with having enough votes. Is that really over your head??

see why we say pure ignorance?

Or we could force the federal Gov't down to less than 15% of GDP, Like Dubya/GOP policies did, a drop of 25%+, how'd that work out?

Low info guys are the WORST. It's false premises, distortions or lies with right wingers, ALWAYS

Weird, we must not have had any conservatives in the GOP for decades now, right? lol

I mean 100% of the GOP in Congress supported Dubya's dream down payment plan that helped Dubya's ponzi scheme!

the biggest problem with his stimulus package is it should have been bigger -.

dear, please explain how a liberal stimulus, like the New Deal, could help rather than harm an economy or admit to having the IQ of a typical liberal..

Don't ask me, ask economists: Poll Results IGM Forum

In a survey, the nation's top economists came back in an almost 4-to-1 ratio in favor of the idea that the stimulus's benefits had outweighed its costs, with about a quarter of respondents still uncertain. So there you go, a net beneficial economic impact stemming directly from a Democratic president.

Ta-daaa.

Ta-daaa.

40 or so economists surveyed agreed with the Congressional Budget Office, known as the CBO, that the unemployment rate was lower at the end of 2010 than it would have been without the stimulus law. The survey asked a second question about whether—accounting for future costs arising from financing the stimulus with debt—its benefits would end up exceeding its costs. Here, 46 percent thought that they would and another 27 percent were uncertain, leaving only a small percentage that did not.
