Lucky... 0 #27 June 26, 2010 QuoteSince when does it take sixty votes to pass a bill through the senate? This is happening because the rescums are filibustering EVERYTHING. That is a gross abuse of the filibuster process. The Scumlipublicans use fillibuster way more than the Dems, yet the same cry like beotches when Dmes use it and reconcilliation, as with the HC Bill. Hell, fillibuster was used twice with GWB's tax cuts. They should at least STFU when Dems rarely use it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It would have been over sooner had the GOP not been in denial over "the R word". Yea, now everyone is whining about the recession (as per GWB's advisor).

Lucky... 0 #30 June 26, 2010 QuoteQuoteQuoteI find it ironic that the obama supporters scream bloody murder about the oil gushing out of the hole in the gulf, about what a terrible environmental catastrophe it is creating, and demanding immediate and decisive action to stop it. And at the same time, they approve 100% of the way obama is gushing money out of the national treasury and our children's future, creating a terrible financial catastrophe that will bankrupt the nation, and are completely apathetic about demanding it be stopped. . I don't recall your outrage when Bush was gushing money out of the national treasury during the boom time before his recession hit, when he should have been saving a surplus handed to him by his predecessor. How convenient when everyone who parrots this line forgets about a little thing that happened on 9/11 Yea, giving the surplus back in light of a trillion dollar war is brilliant. Check history, so that you at least have a little historical education, in WWII, Korea, VN the lowest the top tax brkt was reduced to was 70%, GWB was in the process of lowering it to 35% as he was emptying the gov coffers of cash and then writing trillion dollar checks.

Lucky... 0 #31 June 26, 2010 QuoteQuote How convenient when everyone who parrots this line forgets about a little thing that happened on 9/11 many of the tax cuts were in place before that. And Iraq was an expense that cannot be attributed to 9/11, even if the environment gave him the public approval to do it. Now the paper surplus did not account for the bubble bursting, so some of it was fictional, but that doesn't give Bush a free pass. As well, the war costs account for 15% of GWB's 5T debt hike.

A recession is defined as 2 or more consecutive Q's of negative GDP. Here's a little help figuring out the historical GDP: http://www.data360.org/dsg.aspx?Data_Set_Group_Id=354 During the period with all the stolen mortage money while your hero was standing with his thumbs up his ass doing nothing, that stolen money was circulated and caused the GDP to do well, quashing any possible argument that there was negative GDP connected from the Clinton era extending even a year into your dad's term(s).

Profman 0 #34 June 26, 2010 Recessions come and go, that is the nature of things. We had a good run for many years, overspent ourselves, made too many bad/stupid decisions, and now the system is correcting itself. In all honesty, Presidents have very little to do with economic cycles. What they do have control over is not making things WORSE. Obama's economics make sense only to those who see government as a source of wealth, which it is not since it relies on tax money that would have been spent in the economy anyway. Even the ability of the Fed to print money and send it out is nowhere near as efficient as the sum total of all economic decisions made by individuals. The repubs spent like drunk saliors, but drunk saliors eventually run out of money. The Obamazombies have lost all financial control, dug us into a deep hole, and are now filling in the space around us so we cannot escape. It makes no long-term economic sense.The dangers of life are infinite, and among them is safety. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lucky... 0 #35 June 26, 2010 QuoteQuoteCongratulations! A great day for republicans; I'm sure you'll enjoy gloating. Sorta lousy day for the US though. QuoteNice attempt at a sideways swipe. It's an interpretation of Republicans take on any negative economic action. It's obvious that R's fucked it up, so now R's look for any reason to be let off the hook and then celebrate. QuoteIt's not a great thing for anybody; but it is accurate in that the economy isn't going to rebound just because people wish it to be so. Yes, but with stimulus and military cuts it can and will, did under Clintion, parred with tax increases. QuoteAnd it certainly isn't helping any to roll out or expand programs that are ridiculously expensive already. Oh, so following Hoover's process right after Black Tuesday would be a better idea? QuoteThe economy isn't going to improve solely on the smoke & mirrors BS spewed out or implemented by SuperBama - regardless of whether a person thinks he is doing right or wrong. Feelings are worthless in the discussion; it's results that count. Actually, in part hope is needed. Confidence is huge with investors and consumers, so you are grossly wrong. But the substantive measures are needed too and Obama has done several. QuoteEconomies do not run on hope and desire and bullshit cheerleader speeches about CHANGE... Here's an article from the Repub's own RW rag, the WSJ. They talk of confidence as essential to economic growth. Quit listening to Limbaugh and do something more important with your time. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB125261100485400509.html Quote(which has turned out to be a complete lie since he has demonstrated his ability to engage in bully partisan politics as well as anybody on the hill). Don't you wish you had a patsy for a president? Sorry to make you unhappy. QuoteThey run on commerce. Our current leader wants to replace commerce with highly centralized control mechanisms; ignoring the fact of history that they quite simply do not work well and have never worked at all in an economy that approaches our scale. Love the examples you post to support your theory. Also, we see the economy has tanked under the corrupt and unregulated Republiscum, so there's to your lack of regulation: Reagan/GHWB's 3T and GHWB's 5T addition to the debt - nice argument you make. QuoteYou are a smart person. Open your eyes and put your biases aside. The economy is getting worse, not better. Unemp: rose 3.4% GWB's last year, Obama stopped the slide by October and it has dropped since. Jobs are now being created. GDP: 4 of 5 Q's under GWB were negative, the last grossly negative. Since then we have had 4 consecutive Q's of very + growth, one Q 6%. The banks have restructured and healed. The stock market was on a slide that ended at 6500, now it's over 10k. Your arguments aren't even fun, but juvenile attempts to persuade the naive. QuoteWhat specifically do you think this administration is doing to improve the economy. Saving the auto industry, the housing industry, teh mortgage industry. Ensuring unemployed people have benefits to carry them over. Holding WS and the banks responsible to pay the money back and to end massive bonuses until it is paid back. Allowing for GWB's tax cut to expire. QuoteMy observation is that damn near everything they do is actually hindering recovery. Raise taxes, expand programs, increase benefits, open the borders to cheap labor, more regulation, . . . He hasn't raised taxes yet, but he will via the expiring tax cuts. BTW, show me where a major fed tax cut has helped via example. I won't wait up. Expanding what programs? What has said expansion hurt? How has he opened the border to cheap labor? Increase what benefits? How has it hurt? QuoteThis Prez is more like one of those TV preachers than a leader. What a fucking joke. The real joke is taht you harp, yet cannot substantiate any of your claims. I can dos o to mine, would you like to see?

Unfortunately, life is just not that cut-n-dry. We have associated economic conditions with the value of a president but in reality, they have little control over un/employment rates. Clinton enjoyed a strong economy, not because of anything he did, but because the economic cycle went up. There are ways to kill an economy, however. Tax the crap out of everything to drive up prices/costs; regulate the hell out of everything to slow down investment/production/consumption; force banks to make bad loans to unqualifed people; or spend every nickle in the Treasury until there is nothing more to spend and the good folks in China refuse to buy your debt. For you Obamatrons--Larry Summers views on unemployment prior to becoming Obama's chief econ advisor. According to Summers, 2 government actions lead to increased unemployment: welfare spending and unemployment insurance. http://www.econlib.org/library/Enc/Unemployment.html What is that cliche I hear?
