I have heard Republicans (Damocles) complaining about how the economic policies of Obama left the economy in such terrible shape.


Really? Has everyone forgotten where we were after 8 years of W's economic policies?

Which was better for the American economy the Republican ideology brought by W, or the Democratic ideology brought to you by Obama?
 
this looks like it was a written by a six year old. This is the extent of the depth you can go when discussing the economy?

Sorry your ideology has let you down so that you feel you must attack the messenger.

It was better written than most of Rump's tweets.
 
omg, leave it to a liberal to still be talking about Bush.
look goof, Obama was the worse President, in History, there is no hiding that, no matter what.
You and your children will have to find your way out of the 10 trillion in debt he left, on top of the other 9 trillion every other president, combined, left.

Wake up, smell the coffee, all that matters is the economy, your money, my money, your job, my job.

All the rest of this BS is just you listening to what the main stream media wants you to listen to.

Look at the Stock markets, watch the jobs numbers.

fuck man what does someone have to do hit you people over the head with a brick.
knock off the Obama was good stuff. That's not only uninformed, but a joke.

My ideology let me down? Please expand. Be a grown up and share some actual thoughts on what happened to the economy over the past 16 years not the same "my side good, your side bad" argument.
 
Feel free to explain Jarod why the Fed could leave rates at basically zero yet we haven't had one year of 3% growth during Obama's two terms
 
Obama will go down in history as a far better President than Bush.

Middlin' overall, but he was a decent economic steward. The situation he inherited was almost untenable - really, a freefall. He did just about as much as a President can do, and every rightie who tries to argue that he was a terrible economic President predicted that his stimulus would backfire and lead to a Depression. It would have been laughed at in '09 if anyone claimed the stock market would triple under Obama, and that we'd experience a record consecutive # of positive jobs reports.

You are blind to the way it was in 2008, intentionally so, because it was the result of an ideology, tax policy and economic policy that you are so desperately trying to cling to.

So you can't actually discuss anything that occurred nor can you answer the question I proposed above. Saying "my ideology" doesn't describe what occurred nor does it describe Greenspan and Bernanke's Fed policy.

my personal view is we gave all these companies these tax breaks but we never gave them incentive to invest the money in America as opposed to China or SE asia. I mean we still have money trapped offshore because we would tax it too heavily if it came in.

Bush was a fiscally irresponsible President in general. Implementing broad tax cuts after 9/11, and while planning to undertake wars that would cost trillions - all while signing any bloated spending bill that made its way to his desk.

Being fiscally irresponsible wasn't the cause of the housing crash however.

Not directly, but the crash is nowhere as deep or impactful without it. Don't try to argue that it's inconsequential.

The genesis of the crash was the gov't pushing home ownership, the Fed and it's easy money policies and a wreckless wall st that took on excessive risk knowing it would be bailed out.

What in that would have been prevented by more prudent fiscal spending?
