the trendlines show it would have been less, it is well known that Obama has made welfare of all kinds easier to obtain. There is no reason that disability should be affected by a recession, Obama doubled SSID.
You mean after all the damage Reid, Pelosi, Frank, etc. did and continued to do. Fannie and Freddy making banks give loans to minorities who couldn't qualify leading to the financial collapse. $800 billion squandered on political favors. The GM bankruptcy that violated bankruptcy laws and gave the bondholder's share to the union? The list of stupidity goes on under the years of Reid, Pelosi and Obama. Good thing we had the Community Organizer and the incredibly stupid leaders in Congress running the show for four years. That might be the same Senate, btw, who hasn't passed a budget in 4 years in violation of federal law. LOL. Those are the morons running the show in Washington. Good thing we have a Republican lead house to slow down the fools from implementing all of their plans.
As mod once said to me "Please add real content to a thread or you will be requested to not post in those sections. thank you."
It was the Carter recession, AK. Have you already forgot the hyper interest rates Volker had to implement to get inflation under control that ran rampant under Carter?
It was Carters recession,my point is it wasn't as bad as what Bush left Obama Carter also didnt leave Reagan with the deficits Bush left Obama so Reagan had more options to fix the economy such as his large spending increases
Reagan's recovery had over twice the job creation rate with an economy half this size and a smaller population. It is plainly STUPID to keep blaming what happened in 2008 for the shitty conditions now because as any adult knows, excuses rooted in the past don't give you solutions in the present. A normal person would not keep doing that when we are 4 years away from the recession. 4 years is almost an entire business cycle. Liberals cannot understand that excuses are useless because liberals think like children. I wonder how long people will tolerate excuses in place of results.
It's just that simple. Ak is the perfect example. Itâs scary liberals can even get elected, much less continue to be re-elected. Makes one wonder just how fucked we are.
