Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted September 21, 2016 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted September 21, 2016 Just now, Anler said: Well you can't really blame Obama for that because the Republicans fought him tooth and nail on everything his whole first term. After he was re-elected they backed off and things have become substantially better. Everything is way up around here. They are building 900 new homes just to the south of me and Tennant space downtown is on fire. Where did I blame him for the housing bubble? If you are referring to the poor economic growth can you name some economic proposals that Obama didn't get thru? You do realize the dems held congress thru the first half of his first term and growth has not been any better his 2nd term. http://www.realclearmarkets.com/articles/2016/02/01/barack_obamas_sad_record_on_economic_growth_101987.html On Friday, the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) reported that 2015 U.S. real GDP (RGDP) growth was 2.38%. No matter what revisions are subsequently made, 2015 will have been the tenth year in a row that RGDP growth came in at under 3.0%. The longest previous such run in U.S. economic history was only four years, and the last time that this happened was during the Great Depression (1930 - 1933).

On the other hand - if we grow at 6% but the world economy grows at 10.0% - how'd we perform? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zambroski Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Liberal Dems: The "intellectually elite". I haven't seen any here that know anything about micro/macro economics, inflation/deflation/stall, monetary policy, etc....etc..... It's good reading though. Well, not really, but it for sure shows the intellectual demographic of the Dem voter base. "INTELLECTUAL ELITES" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zambroski Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 The think that will make me laugh should the lying hag get elected is trying to realign all these "narrative numbers" throughout her term. Or really, I think the dems will just be able to make them all up and people will just believe. Well, some people anyways. The idiots. Or, will she still be able to blame Bush? The Russians?
