The President with the worst average unemployment rate since World War II is?

[Ernie S.]

It's rather strange that you fault Bush when it was Jimmy Carter's CRA, clinton's additions to it, and a Democrat controlled Congress that dismissed GOP warnings that the housing market was about to collapse that caused the recession.

More strange is the fact that Bush is not responsible for anything bad that happened while he was president, 9/11, the housing crash, etc., let alone the after effects one day after he left office, but Carter is responsible 25 years after he left office and Clinton 10 years after he left office for everything bad that happened during Bush's fiasco!!!!!!!

BTW, it was the GOP controlled congress that blocked and dismissed all legislation related to the GOP's "warnings." Once the Dems took control they passed reform legislation.

The CRA that started the meltdown was Carter's pet project. bill clinton expanded it and Democrats, most notably Barney Franks, dismissed warnings. Yes I blame it on Carter and clinton. THEIR legislation blew up the economy and Democrats were in control of Congress when the defecation was about to hit the whirling blades.
Nothing strange about it at all except the fact that Democrats continually create catastrophes that they use against the adults across the aisle.

CRA had nothing to do with Bush's housing crash, and Frank was a POWERLESS minority congressman when the GOP majority blocked all reform bills in committee except one which the GOP controlled Senate refused to bring up for a vote. Bush and the GOP own the housing crash, lock, stock and barrel.

Wrong again.

Actually your video proves me right, in spite of FAUX News' attempts to lie by telling just enough truth to deceive and then shutting up.

If you pay attention they quote Frank in 2003 speaking against regulation, and then FOX said "the legislation was blocked." But FOX of course left outv that it was the GOP controlled the House and the committee that reviewed the legislation and blocked it, Frank was a powerless minority member at the time, and FOX's Britt Hume then tried to make it seem like the powerless at the time Frank blocked the bill in 2003 by pointing out that Frank was now, in 2008, the time of the FAUX report, the committee chairman.

Also near the end of your clip Hume also confirms that the ONLY House bill that was not blocked by the GOP majority in committee was blocked by the GOP majority leader in the Senate Bill Frist by not ever bringing it up for a vote, but Hume tried to blame powerless minority senator Obama by saying he made no comment on the bill.

So thank you for posting a video that proves what I highlighted in my post!!!!!

That's some funny shit right there.

LOL

Everything you posted occurred under Bush's regime.

Great Bush Recession.

But again, he had help... "Thanks to OUR policies, home ownership in America is at an all-time high!" ~ George Bush, 2004 RNC acceptance speech

And blaming Barney Frank is beyond rightarded.

Though he was wrong on the issue, he was harmless as one member of the minority party in the House. Republicans were in charge. Sorry reality sucks for you conservatives.

YES these EVENTS did occur under GWB. NO QUESTION.
But only Idiots like you put the entire blame for these events on GWB!

Well here is $8 trillion losses due to dot.com bust. Was that GWB's fault???

WTC 9/11 cost 3,000 lives, $2 trillion in lost businesses,market values assets. How was that GWB's fault?
18,000 small businesses were either displaced or destroyed in Lower Manhattan after the Twin Towers fell. There was a buildup in homeland security on all levels. 9/11 caused a catastrophic financial loss for the U.S.

Leaves $9.2 trillion!
$1 trillion in losses due to the WORST Hurricane SEASONS in history. 2,215 lives lost.

Unlike idiots like you and most of the MSM who like Evan Thomas EDITOR of NewsWeek who said of Obama:
"I mean in a way Obama’s standing above the country, above – above the world, he’s sort of God."

GWB IS NO God and couldn't control the weather... but idiots like you and even Obama who thought himself to be deity when on his nomination he said:
This was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal."
Is Barack Obama the Messiah?: "this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal ..."

leaves $8.2 Trillion!
Much of the lost household wealth came from declines in the value of real estate, which dropped $6 trillion, or nearly 30% of its value, from the end of 2006 to the end of last year [2010]. And after posting modest gains in 2009 and the first half of 2010, the value of homes started to fall again in mid-2010.
America's lost trillions

Now that leaves $2.2 Trillion. A LONG,LONG way from the $19.2 Trillion idiots like you say was all GWB's fault!

I at least will agree. $2.2 trillion of the loss of $19.2 trillion can be attributed to GWB's lack of attention to the housing bubble... EVEN
though he tried to reign in Fannie/Freddie (AS FRANK admits should have been!)
But dummies like you can't even admit you are off by 90% in that stupid $19 trillion blame on GWB!
Again recession admittedly by the NBER started way earlier then the official 3/1/01 date..
"It is clear that the revised data have made our original March date for the start of the recession much too late. We are still waiting for additional monthly data before making a final judgment. Until we have the additional data, we cannot make a decision."[5]

blame GWB for these events? Of course you do. If you believe Obama is a God, then what was GWB if he was to blame for the above events?

Still not even close to the $29 trillion Bush's Great Recession cost us.

EXPLAIN to me how you come up with any credibility when you willy-nilly spout out NOTHING with ANY Proof!!!

YOU know any dummy can come up with a figure! Where in the hell DUMMY did you come up with $29 TRILLION????
Give me links. Proof that the so-called recession that has been directly linked to the

Many factors directly and indirectly caused the Great Recession (which started in 2007 with the US subprime mortgage crisis), with experts and economists placing different weights on particular causes.

Major causes of the initial subprime mortgage crisis and following recession include: International trade imbalances and lax lending standards contributing to high levels of developed country household debt and real-estate bubbles that have since burst; U.S. government housing policies; and limited regulation of non-depository financial institutions. Once the recession began, various responses were attempted with different degrees of success. These included fiscal policies of governments; monetary policies of central banks; measures designed to help indebted consumers refinance their mortgage debt; and inconsistent approaches used by nations to bail out troubled banking industries and private bondholders, assuming private debt burdens or socializing losses.

HOW does the cause of your phony $29 Trillion fall at the feet of GWB???
NOW dummy where is the proof to counter this statement:
TARP which was part of Bush's deficits was entirely paid back with a profit!

$30 trillion just in lost household wealth and lost stock market wealth...

America's lost trillions

Dow hits new record, regaining losses from Great Recession

The entire DOW isn't worth $30 trillion.

What a pity you don't understand English.

Who cares? Presidents don't decide who works or who doesn't.

I'm just curious. Why would you average in the first month or 3 months or 6 months of a president's term implying that he had anything to do with that unemployment rate?

Because he does. Look how the market spiked upon news of Donald Trump's election as President. Conversely, looked how the market tanked upon news of Barack Obama's election.

Warren Buffett said: "money flows towards opportunity". Barack Obama campaigned on a rhetoric of 0 opportunity. He bashed corporations, promised high taxes and to "spread the wealth" (i.e. socialism). Businesses immediately when into "survival mode" after his election (but before his inauguration). They wanted as few costs as possible - especially employees (less employees means less payroll taxes, less regulatory costs like Obamacare, etc.).

 

[edthecynic]

The market was rising before pathological liar Tramp was elected, and the market was tanking before Obama was elected.

Look at Eddy lie again. "The market was rising". I didn't say "rising" you Disingenuous partisan hack. I said spike. The market spiked sharply ever since Trump was elected and you know it (just like it tanked sharply upon news of the radical marxist Obama being elected to office). You are such an asshole. You don't have an honest bone in your body. Everything you do is to attempt to reword and spin everything instead of just accepting reality. Propagandists like you are repulsive.

The Dow is up about 182% between the time it bottomed out from Bush's Great Recession and the election.

The yahoos cheer the 9% increase since the election.

 

[charwin95]

Obama added over $55 trillion to total wealth

You mean he printed $55 trillion of money. He didn't increase our wealth one iota.

If he did that the dollar would be useless and we would have runaway inflation

We have the strongest currency in the world and minimal inflation

That's exactly what he did, moron. What do you think the term "quantitative easing" means?

Economic miracle

Flood the market with cash, create 55 trillion in wealth and keep a strong dollar and no inflation

Obama is a genius

He didn't create any new wealth, dumbass. Paper money isn't wealth. Cars, house and appliances are wealth. We aren't producing anymore now than we did 8 years ago.

Actually sales of new cars and appliances was awesome in 2016 but sales of houses are just moderate. Good job Obama.

How do they compare with sales in 2008? Not a big improvement, is it? The bottom line is that there was no $53 trillion increase in wealth. There was only a $53 increase in the price of stocks.

Yep, thanks largely to the Baby Boom generation that continues to retire at a large steady rate, the labor force participation rate has significantly decline for the first time in history making it easy for new workers to find jobs as the enter the market for the first time. The decline in unemployment is largely thanks to the Baby Boom generation retiring and not the economic performance produced by the Obama administration. If the labor force Participation rate was still at 66% as it was for most of Bush's time in office, unemployment right now would be closer to 10%.

I'm not so sure that is true. The labor force participation rate among working age people is now back to where it always was. U6 indicates the same thing. My understanding is that most people are working but many at lower wages?
