Obama's GDP growth was nearly the same GDP growth we had during Bush. Only:
- Obama created 11.7 million private sector jobs, while Bush lost 460,000
- Obama reduced the deficit by 2/3, while Bush erased a surplus and produced 4 record deficits
- Obama grew the stock market from 7,949 -and falling- to 19,732 and rising, while Bush collapsed the market
- Obama grew wages after 8 years, while wages during Bush declined after 8 years
- Obama lowered the uninsured rate to the lowest level ever, while Bush rose the rate to its highest level ever
Now think of how great recovery could have been if Conservatives didn't deny recovery was necessary, didn't deny the state of the economy in 2008 (Conservaties said, at the time, that "the fundamentals of the economy are sound"), and didn't make obstructing Obama and tarnishing his legacy their main goal.
Our policies have a track record of success...all your policies leave behind are depressions (Great Depression), recessions (1982-3, 1990-1, 2001, 2007-9), and bailouts (S&L bailout largest taxpayer-funded bailout until TARP).
