Short term gain in exchange for long term suffering..... yep the country learned that hard lesson a few years after that election.
Btw, I didn't call it "voodoo economics", George HW Bush did.
Why is that my wallet always grew under a Democratic President and vice versa for a Republican President?? Answer: because the Democrats are better at economy than the Republicans. It's the cold hard truth.

I don't know why your wallet grew under a Democrat as opposed to a Republican cause it sure works in the reverse for most of the people I know, myself included.
That's the excuse now, that you voted for Obama to fix things, and since he not hasn't fixed anything, it's because you never expected him to in the first place.
LOL. Only idiots would look at our economy today and deny that Obama has indeed fixed it. He certainly did. But you were expecting things to not only be fixed but at the top of its game. And that takes time. It will happen under Hillary Clinton's watch. Just be patient.

Did you not realize we are just coming out of a Great Recession caused by the Republicans?? Of course the labor market WAS dropping, the important thing is that it is recovering as well. Thanks to the Democrats.

Ha ha ha. You are now sounding just like a liberal just to debate me. Nice. My job here is done.
By the way, how does it feel to be a liberal?

Great, the middle-class party (Democrats) welcome you with both arms.

I am always curious that somehow when it comes to poverty; it's never the state's fault, not the governors' fault, not the cities' fault, not the mayors' fault; it is always Obama's fault.
But when jobs are created, unemployment down, the market up, etc; it's always the governors' credit; never Obama's.
Heck, even Jesus had to preach his message one village at a time, bro. Conservatives expect a magic wand that Obama can wave from the his Oval Office and all across this country things will suddenly reverse just like that, at the snap of a finger. Sorry, it doesn't work that way. All that is important is that the trend is up. That is what Obama is elected to do - to stop the downward spiral and lift things in the opposite direction, which is exactly what happened.

These sycophantic liberal Obama supporters sicken me, the entire country can go to hell for all they care, the rolls of the poor can swell, for all they care, as long as their politicians can be made to look good.
LOL. Middle East. Where is that, in Kansas?? Oh wait, that's right, Middle East is in.... the Middle East!! Yeah sure, the President of the United States is responsible for the well being of the Middle East. Yeah, sure, yeah, he took an oath to protect the interest of the Middle East! Uh- eh, it's in the Constitution didn't you know? Of course you do!

Shaking my head. Sorry, that's our stance. If you care at all about the poor then vote Hillary in the next election.

What do you do for living and which state do you live in?

Wow. I just realized something I hadn't before. Medical billers really, really do well under the messed up medical system the U.S. has.
There's barely a need for medical billers under a nationalized health system as in Europe and Canada.
Yeah, it is well paid. But it has gotten to be a thankless job with the insurance companies constantly trying to tell doctors what procedures are covered or not covered often for no other reason than some pinhead in an office 1,000 miles away who has no idea what they are talking about, let alone a medical degree. I have no doubt though that sooner or later the health system here will be nationalized and things will change drastically.

Yup. I have 2 acquaintances that do billing, and my nephew is a doctor. Billing has been a huge headache for the longest time.

When he is out of office, ObamaCare will be repealed. Its has caused too may problems.
