Just your basic Christian principles of community, equality, compassion, and helping the less fortunate.
Well spoken!
Unfortunately nothing mentioned describes the mechanism and strategy that arose from that honorable list of attributes shared by people from all parties
To want something is one thing, to make it happen, quite another. It means you have to get up from the kitchen table, couch or computer and perform some action.
So what actions were taken?
Please share the secret.
Start with the media propaganda machine not questioning this administration's actions. I'd say policy, however, no policy has ever been stated, just ala carte items presented, and a trail of bread crumbs like solyndra and accusations of racism when the solvency of the housing market questioned to interpret what obama's policy might be.
Was it the stimulus which fixed all out infrastructure thru shaovel ready jobs?
Was it the green jobs promised?
Was it the 2,500$$ obamacare saving we would all realize?
Was it the gross underestimate of the cost of obamacare?
Was it the keystone pipeline that the state dept approved and had been deemed save by other federal agencies?
The unemployment rate dropped...cause and effect to create those numbers were the historic drop out rate of those who stopped looking for work. That was agreat idea, Who came up with that?
Maybe they are following Pelosi's promise they could quit their job, pursue their passion, such as art or photography, and still keep their healthcare?
Was it the historic debt owed to China that obama previously said was unpatriotic?
Oh, it must have been cash for clunkers!
I'm sure the VA will be happy to hear of your compassion.
I'm sure the black lives lost daily, that get no media attention, will find peace in your words of expressed compassion.
finally, it must be the IRS diligently collecting the cash they doled out to unqualified obamacare patients.
Oh, it has to be the monitizing of the debt, an action Tim the tax cheat swore under oath would never happen in the USA. That artificially keeps the stockmarket at a high.
Funny how that works. If Republicans set up a great economy and then a Democrat gets elected and enjoys the benefit of it, then the Democrat gets credit for it. But if a Republican has a perfectly fine economy for all but the last few months of his 2 terms, then the Democrat who gets elected after him completely bungles the recovery and it takes half a decade to recovery from those few bad months, then it's all the Republican's fault.
It's just magically always the Democrats' credit for good times and always the Republicans' fault for bad times.
Democrats are like the wife that continually overdraws her checking account and credit cards and then tries to claim she resolved the issue herself when the husband pays the bills, takes away the cards, and puts her on an allowance.
The day it tanked? Democrats, leading up to it during the Housing bubble, Republicans. What actions did the Republicans do to try and prevent the economy from tanking while they were in charge of Congress?
What did Dems do before then? Did not loose mortgage requirements really begin in the Clinton administration?
Democrats are like the wife that continually overdraws her checking account and credit cards and then tries to claim she resolved the issue herself when the husband pays the bills, takes away the cards, and puts her on an allowance.
Except the husband (Republicans) only pay 80% of the bills. They need to stop wifey's spending.
It is useless to discuss economics with partisans on either side because they see data through distorted lens. Both sides. If you think either democrats or republicans have anything significant to do with what happens to economies both local and national you are nuts. They are solely the beneficiary of timing for a good or bad economy during their years in office.
You have to give partisans credit though they are entertaining.
Republicans want the credit for a good economy? They haven't brought anything to the table. saint Reagan and bungling Bush were no help for this country despite their cheerleaders.
Of the 5 sectors of government power, President, Congress, Senate, State Governors, state legislatures, 4 of the 5 are majority Republican. So roughly 80% of government power in the USA is controlled by Republicans. So to the extent government affected the economy turnaround, it would have to be in the range of 80% Republican credit and 20% Dem. But I'm not buying the concept that government is the driver of the economy but to play the game the Dems play thinking that everything flows from a government program, well 80% of government power currently is Republican. I know you'll buy into emotional slogans and not analyze anything because you are easily manipulated, but facts are facts....now go ignore facts again and let's hear more of the Dem slogans and themes you've learned.

Reason: spelling
Interesting because the cause of the financial crisis was birthed from the progressive idea that everyone should own a house.
No it tanked because because of the idea that the government shouldn't regulate the derivatives marketplace. To paraphrase Greenspan at the time these are sophisticated financial instruments being used by sophisticated investors and traders, who know what they are doing and the risks, therefore the government has no role to play and would only get in the way.
