QE was suppose to trickle down under Obama. Why didn't it?

Money doesn't trickle down where it comes to actions of the government.

Whether or not the government is taking too much whether it trickles down or not is another subject.

Government should NEVER take from the lower classes and give it to the rich and think that will trickle down like we were told the last 7 years.

As obama would say...imagine what it would be like if we didin't do it!

Duh, Obama has done his best to supress the economy and the money is sitting on the sideline waiting for him to go away. The recovery post obama, baring a dem presidency will be historic.....and obama will try to claim credit.

Me caveman, me now "progressive/liberal"=bad, therefore, low wage growth and outsourcing "progressive".

Ah the sadness of the knucklehead trying to pound the round peg into the square hole.

Corporate MBA types are not "progressives"..they don't watch Noam Chomsky videos on youtube and don't hug trees.

Holy smokes with you fools.

Government is using an overwhelming amount of regulations to divert the flow of resources from the people that need them... to themselves.

You are super clueless. Progressives are the ones that support GLOBALIZATION. It has nothing to do with MBA's, those are peons in the big picture. Progressives also support illegal immigration which further drives wages and employment down.

Big business drives globalization.

Big business is not "progressive" except maybe for Bill Gates.

Banks are not progressive, oil companies are not progressive and they also love illegal immigration.

But stay inside your little box of names to call people because to do otherwise might scare you I guess.

how many times do we have to knock this meme down?

low taxes alone is not the blueprint.

suggesting we live in a period where this is the case is disingenuous.

Because George Bush was right when he called trickle down "voodoo economics".
